This sucks

This sucks.

yeah i also didnt find this "kino" scary or interesting. also the twist was pretty lame. i didnt see it coming and i still wasnt impressed at all

I saw this brought up in a thread about movies with hell-like imagery and i was expecting something similar to hellraiser and event horizon.
so yeah, very disappointing

Revisit this film in ten years.
You may find yourself liking it.

Good hell imagery, great opening scene on the train/in the train station.

The fact that they tell you the ending immediately kinda ruins it though.

Agreed. Was very disappointed

I love this movie

This movie's not so much "scary" as it is depressing and unsettling.

It doesn't suck you just had the wrong expectations. I never understand why they class this as horror, it's a very disturbing psychological thriller but there are no jump scares

No it doesn't.

Back to the YouTube comments

too Jewy, not for me

and I adore Woody Allen movies

It's a psychological thriller kino, you're the retarded for thinking it was supposed to be scary or with loads of 'hell-like imagery' in the first place

I would have liked it more if the experimental drugs didn't exist, and instead they were made up by the protagonist to explain why he was so violent. Like he's trying to atone for his actions on his death bed, coming up with this giant conspiracy.

But instead they just tell you "Yeah they were drugged lmao"

>psychological thriller
That just means horror without gratuitous gore or sex/horror that stuffy critics can appreciate.

Threads like this are exactly why I don't like having serious film discussion on Sup Forums
Most people have shit taste. I mean, think Event Horizon is better? Get fucking real.

what do you expect from video gamers?

It actually means a movie that disturbs or unnerves without really scaring you. It works on a deeper level. There are psychological horrors too, like 1408

I watched this movie while high and I shit my pants.

Very bad idea.

>Op writes a two word "review" for a movie
>gets shitty responses

What were you expecting?

Neither Event Horizon or Hellrazer are really scary.

Jacob's Ladder perfected and popularised the jump scare trend in horror. Scariness and something being gross/disturbing is not the same thing.

>It actually means a movie that disturbs or unnerves without really scaring you.
Lots of horror movies do that. Some do both. Some do neither. It's still horror.

itt: plebs disparaging Adrian Lynne kino, and patricians (rightly) defending it.

This is a board that has people say the Star Wars prequels were bold and imaginative and unironically defend BvS as a masterpiece because Zack Snyder was actually awake during the visual allegory section of his Film 101 course

No, generally is about a guy who thinks everyone is going crazy, but in reality he is the only one that is

> i was expecting something similar to hellraiser and event horizon
holy fucking shit is this a real post

Plenty of "psychological thrillers" don't fit that description.

thought it was great

disappearance at owl creek bridge level of kino

This really isn't a horror movie. It's just a movie about a guy coming to terms with loss. Loss of a son, loss of a marriage. Lynne took a silly script and made it very meaningful and subtle.

A horror that doesn't scare you is either not a horror or has failed miserably

Would have been 10x better without the retarded ending. The whole Vietnam thing added absolutely nothing to the story.

Totally wrong. Did you even watch the movie?If so, how could you misunderstand so completely the actual events which occurred, and are pretty clearly shown?

That señorita wife though god damn

the only way it could have been even mildly interesting is if it went like this user said

I haven't seen it in forever but yeah, it probably feels dated now.

Just shitposting, I love the movie

I loved it and I knew basically the whole story going in. It feels like a nightmare, things almost make sense and then slip away. The long scenes of him in bed talking to his wife, trying to find his girlfriend at the party, the scenes of him in the ice bath, it's all so uncomfortable and unsettling. It's a movie that stuck with me after watching it

>A horror that doesn't scare you is either not a horror
It can be in a genre without having a particular effect on you.
>or has failed miserably
Fair enough.

Are you serious? The 'whole Vietnam thing" where Tim Robbins' character is killed by his own drug-deranged fellow troops is essential to understanding what is happening to him.

im ready for all the

>DUDE DRUGS LMAO

posts this will trigger but this movie is the best representation of a bad acid trip i've ever seen. everything about the weird structure to it and the strange emphasis on random glances from people is spot on. i dont think that was the directors intent or anything but regardless, it fits perfectly. its also a lot like what dealing with depersonalization disorder is like

When he wakes up in the bathtub full if ice with tears in his eyes, not knowing what the fuck is real and what isn't, is one of the most affecting cinematic moments I've ever seen, tbqh senpai.

and it's the worst part of the movie, literally everything good about the movie could have been in it if the story was just that he was hit by a car or something

>muh opinion
Well if your fee-fees says so.

looks like it's not only my opinion if this thread is any indication

To me it's fun if those films that is "more than the sum of it parts". It'd hard to describe exactly what i love about it so much, but the way the film progresses is very atmospheric and even "cosy" to me. Maybe the f is shot really well or had great sound production, idk but it's great to watch.

This film has the most effective depiction of demons I've ever seen in a movie

Yes. Not only is it scary on a deep level, it's also the only horror movie in which the reason I don't watch it more often is because it's so dreary and depressing too.

No, it's also the opinion of a bunch of insufferable ADD-addled millennial pseuds who watch cuck porn.

right only people with ADD think it was actually MK Ultra mind control and your unit all went crazy and killed each other in Vietnam was a stupid twist in a movie about a guy coming to terms with dying

reminds me of Disappearance at Owl Creek Bridge when the ending was that he was actually a victim of a secret supersoldier drug trial program

Back in the late 80s. before Alex Jones and the internet, that actually was a mindfuck, though. That's what I meant by this.

the movie was already a mindfuck, the twist pushed it into "ok this is dumb" territory

Good flicking film

This. The conjuring 2 was way more scary

Recently watched this and liked it. Went in expecting the hellish imagery most people mentioned, but got in a feels/depressing trip.

And like most people mentioned, the whole drugs/vietnam thing felt like a cop out rather than adding to the film

Still, it's good to see where the [TWITCH INTENSIFIES] trope came from.
