This is literally the exact same thing I saw Edgar Wright saying on Twitter, I will doubly take it to heart now. Though I may be waiting til later in the year to see it because a friend and I usually have a horror movie watching day in December and this is a potential for that day.

But how can you see the movie if you see it blind?

I clearly meant that one must stand outside a window and watch through the blinds.

Oh, you mean how we normally go to the movies?

Yes. It's very important to have a normal viewing experience at the theater as Christopher Nolan demands.

Today I watched The Boy (2016) for the second time. The reviews aren't great and my Letterboxd friends don't seem impressed either so why do I like it? Do I....do I have s---ty taste in movies? That can't be it. Yall would tell me, right?

Good atmosphere. Nice story ambiguity at certain points.
Though, I've watched Willy's Wonderland three times, so . . .

One thing I would've changed, or handled differently---
Tonight I'm going with the 2020 sequel, but my expectations are not high.

WARNING: spoilers below
whether Brahms is a spirit or is an actual person. Once that is answered, it all goes a bit downhill. Honestly, him killing the abusive ex was the climax for me and the rest was just rote horror stuff.

I liked the set up. I liked the premise. But once everything is established, it just slowly became the kind of film I'm generally bored with. Just kinda standard stuff
I think I gave it a two and a half out of five which doesn't mean I hated it. It's two where I start getting irritated with a movie. That extra half a star means at no point did I grow angry at it.

Willy’s Wonderland is fun to watch.

I haven't had much interest in it. You'll have to let me know if it's worth a watch. Although, whoa, starring Katie Holmes?
Kid who keeps a sketchbook full of advanced-for-his-age Francis Bacon-esque drawings of violence? Check.
Mom who conducts an extraordinarily fruitful Google search of the house (and doll!)? Check.
(I mean seriously, you would NOT believe how much stuff she found on Google. The entire history of the house AND Brahms was revealed in one 5-minute sitting).
You get the picture.
Not the worst thing I've seen (how's that for an endorsement?) and it was over before I knew it, but easily avoided until you've watched literally everything else.

The most intriguing element of Brahms: The Boy II is the fact that at no time does anyone address the nightmarish mural on this kid's wall. It's just....there and nobody talks about it.

Then I hope you're able to avoid spoilers until that day! Any other movies y'all are eying?
