i think the knowledge that they're alone in the woods and the illogical part of your brain going “that could be you” is what makes this scarier than it really is.
some scenes were scary, most weren't. fast forwarded through most of the beginning bc up until the end it was somewhat scary.
the house part was nice though, as was that josh wood part.
it just felt boringgg there were too many filler shots that werent needed..

the notion that this was supposedly based on real events was the only thing pulling me through the corny dialogue and the hour long scenes of someone digging a hole, and even that turned out to be false. the torture pics were the only shock value in the movie, i quite liked that. made me feel horrible yadda yadda but that’s it. watching this at night makes me give it two stars instead of one.

bad movie. good to watch when u turn ur brain off so all the stupidity flies over your head. the visuals r nice but the plot and story is so messy and not done well and too fast. also unnecessary making out moments (u guys were dying!!!). who made this movie?? watch it for the vibe, don't watch it for a good movie.

entertaining movie about highschool and it's epic ups and downs featuring underlying homoerotic dramatic friendship breakups
amazing example on how dialogue heavy films can be VERY GOOD!

may be biased writing this bc i love everything sherlock but oh yes. very very good movie.
first and foremost good book adaptation. kept the fun banter and the silly fights. very nice. casting was also very good i really liked irene adlers choice of casting along with watsons & sherlocks.
the cinematography was SO good! so so good. it felt and looked very real. this was a very good directed movie.
also the underlying sexual tension between irene & sherlock + watson & sherlock .. oh yes very good. enjoyed that very much!

one of the best animated movies ive watched. make me cry like a little dog at the end.
THE ANIMATIONNNNN holy fuck ... its so visually appealing, and so so fluid!! the no lineart is great and gives off such a homey magical feeling! the aesthetics were EVERYTHING!
the story was so good too! typical, you knew the guy would be changed at the end of the movie, but u didnt know how, and i was pleasantly surprised and content.
the music and the animation.. watched this in the winter, a great choice!!! a big rec if u like animations bc i havent seen a movie that is so unique in such a long time! big props to the animators and character designers. looved it!

Thor

good movie but couldve been more impactful if they included the cut loki scenes, bc in those scenes u could see how he was still a boy? who just wanted recognition? point is the watchers would be able to sympathise w him more so that the "betrayal" wouldve hit more yk!
and wish they didnt make jane into such a "owo i turn so helpless when hot guy thor around" youre a scientist youre so cool and smart w/o him.. she turns into a whole love smitten girl and ITS WEIRD.. i get love at first sight but like.. idk man im not a full fledged adult idk how adult love works! its just sudden bc no true chemistry ig? wouldve loved it if they kept her just genuinely interested in him bc hes a Random Being out of a Weird Tornado And Shes A Researcher So Shes Fascinated instead of Hot Guy Omg I Need Him. felt like they were throwing her character away? shes a researcher dedicated to her job until she talks w thor. i think im just annoyed at the constant love eyes and unneeded close ups of her love eyes to him
anyways. its interesting to see thor here bc hes changed sm! good for him! and i love lokis chara bc .. yo imagine getting lied to for like 5000+ years.. abt being a thing ur parent said r monsters.. i wouldve been mad too!

enjoyed it a lot!!! the mc was suuper sympathisable! i understand why she does the way she does things. its very easy to understand her, for me at least? btw yes timothée looked great here. so did all the other girls btw!!!!! i love movies in old settings so this was rly enjoyable.
at some point i was getting sick of the sibling rivalry but realised its only bc i experience/have experienced the same thing and had to be the mediator/standby watcher so often .. it was p realistic. someone get me a timothée as friend
oh!1 i was roothing for the mc to be w timothée bc they matched so well.. made me sad but also ig the sister deserved happiness too? BUT STILL.. such a comfort film

watched this in math class since it "technically is a math movie" and didn’t expect anything, yet ended up bawling at the end like a baby. i think my careless attitude while watching this film much like the main character during the beginning of this film made the emotional impact even bigger
i have a thing for (emotionally) tortured characters getting help of a father figure. gets me everytime!!!! the "its not your fault" part made my heart ache.
the aesthetic appeal of the characters life was insane .. i too want to live carefree and have piles and piles of books in my home and devour them all.
it made me so happy seeing how supportive his friends are. i’m glad he has good friends.
but seriously guys. such an uplifting beautiful film. this truly was an experience and i can’t stop recommending this to everyone. it changed something in me and i’m so grateful for having watched this.
