If all that sounds tame and dejavu to a user of this site, they may wonder, so what’s in it for me?
Human marionettes.
I think my favorite part of this movie is when she stomps on the breaks when the people are walking across with the coffin. They look at her like WTF we walking here haven’t you ever seen 4 guys carrying a coffin across the street at night before?
Brilliant, gripping, scary, another contender for the top 10! What the guy was doing was the creepiest thing I’ve ever seen in a horror film, because it actually looked like something believable! May not sleep tonight!
pretty good, interesting characters and story and some nice moments of tension, too bad it’s kinda slow at times. but overall it’s quite nice. human marionettes are def a thing i hadn’t seen before in horror movies and it was an nice original touch
This was a little slow at the start, but overall pretty good
This movie is embarrasingly bad in every way, I’ve tried watching it twice but can’t make it past 20 minutes. That this director still has work is fucked.
Good, a solid 3/5. It’s not spetacular but it’s good enough to keep you entertained. Beginning is great, the middle is a bit boring and repetitive but the ending is good enough, which is rare.
nigga this movie so bad the director of this shit should kill himself
Nice scary movie with enough scares and original theme as well.
It’s interesting enough to watch it at least one time. It’s not really at the level of effedup-ness you would expect from this website (unless you are really scared of marionettes, I guess). If you came here to expect sexual violence, there is basically none. The characters are very consistent and I really like the lack of exaggeration they display (for example, excessive maniacal laughter from a villain or excessively screaming women). It made me feel that that’s how real people would react in those situations. The story is a bit loose, with various plotlines scattered around, but finds time for everything from wholesome moments to pretty good suspense. 7/10 would love a bit more care for the structure of the story.
8/10 would recommend. A little underwhelming and predictable at times but still captivating and attention grabbing. I love love loved the concept of human marionettes; if you’re still on the fence I would say give it a watch! Also don’t miss out on the post-credit scene
I’m ten seconds deep and already like oh God this gonna pass off some type of ally
Ok but was a little tame, ????
Still a good watch
Thanx
You had me at human marionettes…
