the final shootout in this is straight-up one of the best of To's whole career

will admit it’s a little slow to start but the pivot from ”heist gone wrong” to EC Comics/Time Enough At Last-style ironic existential nightmare hits like nothing else

hell, the fact that it even IS ghosts is way less Paranormal Activity, since the series itself pivots to demons so quickly lol

I swear to god I saw SOMETHING in the upstairs door at the end of Act 1 and I haven’t been able to pinpoint what it was since

I will forever be baffled that, in a year where Sinners and OBAA were major cultural touchstones, Hollywood execs are still asking "but what if the people who lost the culture war years ago... actually won it?????"

Jackie Chan is 71 and hasn't done a stunt-heavy performance in years; Chris Tucker's been in 2 movies over the last decade; Ratner's been swirling in the same post-MeToo-ing brain melt as Spacey - to hell with watchable, what are the odds we get something COHERENT out of this

David Zaslav experiencing a Christmas Carol-level redemption after a visit from the Ghost of DailyWire+ Original Productions Yet to Come

Would movies made by the people in charge right now be good? God no. Instead, they would be a nuclear-level deterrent against letting this ever happen again

A huge chunk of Lovecraft's work is comprised of detective stories, too...

the joke here, of course, being that the Pope is a White Sox fan

as the youth say... Arkasha Stevenson hive rise up

Probably more “extended Inside No. 9 episode” in vibes than Paranormal Activity proper, but I’m not gonna complain about that; has at least one truly rip-the-roof-off scare
