I’ll definitely check it out but also sad it won’t get at least a limited theatrical run.

"Hulu original"

So offensive to people these films to be just streaming fodder. This and Deep Water.

Love seeing Daisy become a movie star in real time!! I’m sure she’ll be absolutely brilliant in this as always! So weird hearing her with an American accent though lol! Can’t wait to see the movie! Looks great!

Drops on HULU within a couple hours, certified fresh on RT at 83%. Looks like a mighty interesting romantic drama/horror film.

I will watch Sebastian Stan in just about anything.

MikeScott · 03-04-2022, 04:14 PM

I'm so excited to watch this. Trailer was great. Watched that a few times. My most-anticipated movie release this week. Daisy Edgar-Jones was amazing on Normal People. Can't wait to see her in something else.

Frank TJ Mackey · 03-04-2022, 10:00 PM

This was really good. Didn’t know much about it other than the good reviews. I loved every second of it. For once, a straight to streaming film delivers. Will watch again.

This is a wild good and disturbing time.

unberechenbar · 03-04-2022, 10:04 PM

Was this originally planned to get a theatrical release?

I think so before Disney bought Fox. It’s legit. This new woman who directed it, Mimi something did a heck of a job. I believe the Director of Photography did Midsommar and Heredity as well.

I can see why Stan and Edgar Jones were attracted to this.

In that case hopefully it gets a physical release too then.

The movie was filmed well after Disney bought Fox. It was acquired (not produced) by Searchlight at Sundance this year with the intent to premiere on Hulu.

Yeah, it's depressing what Disney has done of 20th Century. The interview with the new studio head about what the new iteration of the studio actually looks was even more depressing.

This was quite good. It was more psychological than I expected but it was a welcome surprise. Don’t get me wrong, they don’t skimp on the red stuff at all and it definitely gets disturbing at times, but it was very nice to watch a horror film that can be both violent but smart at the same time with some nice layers to the story. The gore isn’t there just for the sake of it and it creates a nice impact, both for the shock leading to the suspense as well as at a more emotional level. The last act was also quite tense, end-of-your-seat, and suspenseful. Acting was great from both leads. The style was quite refreshing for the film too and the darker humor worked. Sebastian Stan is off his rocker in this one but it makes his character… interesting.

Definitely recommend watching it if you enjoy a stylish horror film with some interesting psychological elements.

Again, shame this didn’t hit cinemas. It’s streaming, so not an ideal medium to watch a film, but being completely digital the compression on the picture held up for the most part. The filmmakers really knew how to do a lot with a lower budget and the HDR really accentuated that. I was able to watch it in Dolby Atmos as well and while not mind blowing it still made it sound better than a traditional 5.1 mix could (the Dolby Atmos logo appears at the end so it seems this has a native Atmos sound mix). Hopefully an indie label will pick it up later down the line for a 4K disc release.

We loved this movie. The right amount of horror elements mixed with dark humor. The performances were terrific.

So I knew nothing about this before watching. Totally thought I was watching a romantic drama then this thing shifts gears real quick.
