i'm going to give toni collette tons of points simply based off the number of scenes where it would cut to her in a different location and i just did not recognize her
for example when she was cutting her own throat at the end it took me a second to register.Toggle Spoileri felt really bad for
Gabriel Byrne lol, i think this thread did a good job analyzing his character, i just have a soft spot because i like him as an actor and my dad's name is steveToggle Spoiler there was some really funny dialogue in this movie (quite a bit seemed like it could be construed as having been played for laughs
for example when steve said something about going up to see her dead mother in the attic and if there was anything elseToggle Spoiler i liked when peter asked his crush how the party was and she said "what, do you want to know if you should come or not?"

I agree with ratbags. horror cinema is often a dialogue

Celiac Cruz wrote: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.
Williamsburg Cinemas! Sounds like the audio was recorded that way then
I forgive most laughing at horror movies because I recognize it as a nervous release, plus like the line celiac mentioned, there was a lot of intentionally really funny lines (also toni's performance def veers on comical at times). The only reason at all laughing bothers me is that I'm not the easiest person to scare (humblebrag) so i really work to immerse myself in horror films, which builds up my vulnerability to scares. Someone else laughing immediately breaks that illusion. But I'm realizing that might be a problem with the movie being so campy and not necessarily at ppl in the audience. after all if it was truly scary they wouldn't be laughing

I read an interview that said
the accident was initially way more gruesome and revealing but was cut down a ton in post. Aster was like "fuck this is a kid, what have we done, this is way too gnarly." But then they show that shot of the head lolToggle Spoiler

that whole sequence oh my fuck. palms sweaty for the whole thing, I was just ripples of crawling skin until I heard Collette shriek. then the weird way the follow up refused to address it head on (ha ha) was such a denial of closure that only made everything leading to that dinner scene just fuuuuuuuuuuuck

actually a few scenes towards the end the audience gasped and I realized I should be seeing something so it helped

I mean yeah i love all those things too, i absolutely love hearing ppl react to horror films, that's why i try to go near opening night. I posted earlier that my favorite audience moment was slowly hearing people spot Toni C in the corner near the end
I just don't like when the laughing feels openly antagonistic or like the person is above the experience. It's a fine line but ya know whatever, I'm never gonna say something lol

See I read it as like it it's that antagonizing laughter then the person is the scaredest person in the room and overcompensating which makes me laugh and enjoy it all the more

Something to keep in mind is that the Quebec rating is 13+ and as a teenager going to go see a horror movies I was definitely yelling a lot and treating the theatre as my living room.
But now I'm spoiled with 1080p leaks so when I go see a movie I expect it to be as quiet and somber as my living room.

the “clucking” shit is just the worst though in how this movie widely leaves the door open for annoying terrible theatergoers to act like fucking assholes and how said movie patrons oh so happily and expectedly walk right through

i saw this at Williamsburg Cinemas too which is kinda the shittiest theater around (both technically and because of the young-ish crowds) but apart from some teens laughing at their own dumb shit for the first 5 minutes the crowd was fine. i agree with a lot of what ratbags said on this page.
this experience reminded me of seeing mother! last summer in a few ways; going in blind/spoiler-free and just getting on the ride, 2 deliberately paced acts and a third that's a burst of intense action, tonal confusion ("i want to laugh at this, am i supposed to laugh at this?"). i really liked it.
The profit motive has given my dog horrible separation anxiety,

this is something i'm confused about personally, does Annie actually
sleepwalk in that scene when she tells peter that she didn't want to be his mother and then they are both covered in paint thinner? The order seemed to go
1. she "wakes up" and sees the ants,
2. she follows them into the room and sees peter and gets close to them
3. peter wakes up
4. she wakes up, he tells her she was sleepwalking
5. then they have the conversation, they become covered in paint thinner then
6. she wakes up in bed and then does the seance for the first timeToggle Spoileri also don't know if this changes anything

i'm sorry for belaboring this point but is this the shot where u see the naked satanis spirits outside the house?
it's been bothering me since i missed the shot both times I saw it. i can't spot anything but maybe the cam version is just too dark
this takes place
after steve burns up, before peter wakes upToggle Spoiler

the shot in question happens
after the dad goes up in flames and before peter wakes up in bed for the final set pieceToggle Spoilerit's an outdoor shot of the house at twilight that smash cuts to the same exact shot but at night. it's the second time in the movie where an establishing shot of the house abruptly goes from day to night
none of the naked bodies are moving—they're just standimg still, naked, and arranged all over the yard.
there are other shots of these naked people—closer, medium shots—that happen from peter's POV, immediately before the final scene in the treehouse, hence the confusion ITT
