seriously, i just finished watching it, i have my criticisms which seem to fall in line with some others have made (i.e. drawn out etc.) but overall the film was great in the sense of being a film, i did not however feel great after watching it, i needed answers. its not the scariest movie ever but the implications and situation in general are very depressing and kinda stick in your head
9/10 :concerned-confusion: watch in the right headspace but also don't watch if youre squeamish about bad things happening to (very) young kids
I watched it and had to bow out right before it got good. Couldn't stick with it. What were the implications of the situation? I've read the wiki page about the ending, so feel free to spoil (with the spoiler tag, ofc)

the implications of the situation were that these kids are subjected to torture beyond human means, with the monster gaining better control of the reality it keeps them in to the point it can manipulate time and just keeps mutilating them over and over even killing them and bringing them back at one point. they even appear to resign themselves to this being their reality as the kids are just tired instead of afraid Edit: not to mention the reveal they've been subjected to the torture for nearly two years and that it wont come to an end anytime soon
Huh, I missed a lot of that. Thanks for sharing!
no problem
Yeah, I had to tap out at

PUT THE KNIFE IN YOUR EYE
worst part is

it could've healed kevin but consiously chose not to and only to use it's healing to prolong suffering and prevent their escape in death
Hated that scene! It felt really gratuitious to me.
Yeah, I think the movie's at its best when it's just being eerie and unsettling, something it pulls off very well. That scene veers away from it and for me, it's when fear gives way to disgust.
