here's a very inconsequential question, why does Steve say, "shoes off everyone!" at the start of the film after the funeral, if presumably that's been the policy in the house for years ?
it led me to momentarily think that they were moving into the mom's house, but no

It's a stretch but maybe it's just one of many traps they had laid out.
All they had to do was make Peter a horny as hell weed head and the rest fell into place

Same thing for me

yeah same. like when Annie hallucinates Peter covered in ants and then wakes up and finds herself standing in his room and Peter goes like, "Mom?"
people burst into laughter. i was like, what the fuck. and this happened all over the movie. I wanted to tell them to stop laughing, but i knew that'd also be insane behavior

I did really love the collective gasp when she told Peter "I didn't want to have you" or whatever that line was.

"I never wanted to be your mother" i think it was
and yeah both times I saw it, the audience just has such a pure gasp at that line
i also loved listening to people slowly spot toni C in the shadows near the end of the movie in peter's room

I think for some people during tense horror films it's just a defense mechanism like when I was a little kid and I'd rent Friday the 13th movies I'd cheer for Jason so I'd be less scared

Audience I was in laughed in a lot of the same spots. I resigned myself to go with it and found a few of those moments/readings to be legitimately funny. Didn't diminish the creeping dread of those scenes. I don't know if it was intentional or not but I enjoyed them in a Lynchian layers-upon-layers of emotions kinda way.

Yeah realizing that every time I go to a horror film in theatres it's a shitty experience. Have to start waiting 4 weeks into its run and go in the middle of the afternoon so I have the theatre to myself. I have trouble rolling with the laughs and sneers that seems to only really happen in horror movies.

I don't know if this matters or is related at all but I cringed when the son gets out of his bed fully clothed and with shoes on.

the structure of this was really the most impressive part to me, like
the last witchy 20 mins were such a blast and really effective as a release and counterweight to how emotionally demanding the family drama and simmering dread of the first 2/3rds of the film wereToggle Spoiler.
also appreciated all the subtly creepy moments sprinkled throughout before the climax. my favorite being
the ghost sketches of the son and his big ass mole.Toggle Spoiler just something about them.
my theater experience was similar to whats been recounted in the thread, the group of teenagers who were the only ones in the theater besides me were as completely insufferable as you would expect. laughing, clucking, etc. not a “general audience” friendly movie i guess!

about two or three times in the film, I thought the clicking noise was coming from the audience instead of the movie. maybe it was just my local theater soundsystem, but it seemed to be recorded so faintly and panned so far from the screen that the only way I realized it was part of the movie was by the characters reacting to it

This was really good! I was nervous about it because I'm really a novice to horror, and haven't properly found my sort of niche that I like in a horror movie. I couldn't tell at all what it was going to be about it from the trailer so I was dreading I wouldn't be into it.
It still took me a while to get into the plot, but I like how it builds upon itself and then it reveals itself in the end.
Rixx where did you see it? I saw it at BAM and had a similar experience.

It sounds like we all had the same experience save for the shopping cart being snuck in.

I dunno if you're asking me but, yeah, they were! They were doing that tongue *clock* thing too which became hard to keep track between the actual movie and audience participation because of the aforementioned well designed stereo panning.
I often feel like a 50 year old man but lemme tell ya folks that night I felt 60.

It's cool when a horror movie extends its tentacles out through the audience and asks you to mimic its little details to scare your theatre or friends with. The old people hate it but I relish in it baby I love seeing that shit. I wish I could've been in a theatre opening night of Halloween which you all apparently think was a temple of manners and sanctity
