Zach Cregger accurately captured the horror of being chased by your niece and nephew during a game of tag.

This made me laugh:

Replace Elisabeth with Solange from The Front Room and we're cooking.

It's all worth it to see those kids rip the lady from Field of Dreams to shreds.

THIS!

apparently Tom Burke was the original cop...

Which would explain the significant age gap between Ehrenreich and June Diane Raphael.

Not that it was evident in the movie.

By the way, anyone else constantly rotating in their mind "he/she was my favorite from the cast" and then realize you loved every single one in it?

What a great character piece this movie is.

I loved spending time with those people and see the story unfold through their eyes.

No, and I actually didn't recognize June Diane Raphael at all but to be fair I'm mostly used to only hearing her voice on the How Did This Get Made? podcast.

As for the characters, they were all great but Aunt Gladys was my absolute favorite. She was like an amalgam of every memorable evil witch character from children's stories.

Yeah I had no idea that June was in the movie even though I follow her pretty well as an actor and love her podcast. But she was in and out of the movie so quickly I was just like, “Wait was that JDR?”

I'm all for it. I just want to know if Aunt Gladys was actually related to Alex's family at all or if she just picked them as a hosts and witchcrafted her way in.

How clever. Especially since Alex's dad had a line about his wife not even being that close to her.

Sheesh, what a flick. Make sure you all lock your car doors whether you're in or outside of it lol.

I actually saw a TikTok last night speculating that Aunt Gladys was a real woman who died when the witch's spirit possessed her but given that she was already old the witch was scrambling to put the plan of taking the kids in motion to extend her own life.

Gotta say, I walked away pretty disappointed with this one after looking forward to it quite a bit. I like a lot of the ideas and individual moments, but the film on the whole didn't work for me. I have no issues with the way the film is structured, but the pacing killed a lot of my interest. Those two middle chapters really dragged liked crazy, which is a shame because I liked Ehrenreich's performance.

Final chapter kind of got my interest back, but that ending sucked. The chase started as half funny, but went on way too long to the point of the joke making me roll my eyes.

Nah. Not necessary, and this is the wrong lesson to be learned after the success of the film.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Yeah me and my family enjoyed the hell out of this. Really good horror movie which has some genuinely funny moments. It's really creepy at times too and I think the villain will be remembered for a good while.

Great performances from everyone in the cast and like Barbarian some really good direction and camera work. Cregger is the real deal.

9/10.

I thought this was straight up garbage. The filmmaking itself was fine, even good, but the story was schlocky nonsense that took itself away to seriously for too much of the runtime. The characters were all cliches with zero depth, the narrative structure was exasperatingly tedious, and the mystery was ultimately disappointing. It wasn't funny enough to be a comedy, and not once was the horror actually scary.

I'm just glad that I saw it as a matinee so that I only wasted $13 instead of $18.

I had an accidental June Diane Raphael double feature today. She also had a bit part in Freakier Friday, she was out just as quickly in that one.
