This was a collection of good scene set-ups without much care for pacing. And, like, the comment about it not being finished is right. The explanation of what these things are, how they’re connected to water, what the rules are, etc. are sketched out but never fully explained. The end in the psych ward and the chair flying is just straight up cheesy. But, the dead boy maybe moving at the table and the running, mutated lady hitting the car window are really effective.Toggle Spoiler
Scary stories to tell in the dark is gonna be p interesting because that thing lived and died by those dripping inky pics that accompanied each story and how grotesque they were.

I don't know if I can pin down exactly which moment in The Prodigy got the biggest laughs, but the one I keep going back to in my head is the use of paprika as ominous foreshadowing.

Yeah I felt a little dismissive of this flick as I was watching it because I couldn’t figure out what the fuck it was trying to do. But it’s stuck with me and I think a rewatch will be rewarding. It’s a little blumhouse-y tho.
Joe Bobb is gonna be hosting double feature Friday nights on Shudder! knew my sub would finally pay off since I've neglected to cancel. anyway that's very rad
this was a lot better than i thought it would be. def worth a watch. kind of Babadooky, a bit Descenty. good performances particularly from the little kid.
