Never heard of it but I wanted to watch a movie tonight. Perhaps I have a winner

You really need to, right now. First ~20 minutes are kind of annoying because the protagonist is a horrendous person but once it picks up it's hilarious.

The tape recorder scene

The zooming in on the faces and the camera shot are so awesome. MAYBE THEY ALREADY HAVE *Key zoomed in ~wtf is this bullocks~ face from kylie*

the first teddy bear scene

Spoiler	+
i've never gone from genuine fright to laughter so quickly in my life.

it's like this movie simultaneously digs on every trope of every movie and then does them better

There are things this movie is letting me know that I"m annoyed with in movies that I wasn't even aware of:

Spoiler	+
The protagonist figuring out how the ghost got murdered through simple logic. Her not being afraid AT ALL of the paranormal shit and walking briskly toward all sounds.

Grabbing it now. I briefly looked at it earlier but somehow missed that it was a horror comedy and not just a comedy and passed by it.

It went from comedy to horror really fucking fast about 2/3 of the way through.

The following scenes at the end were amazing:

Spoiler	+
"No, that's not going to work. Give me something heavy." "111"

10/10 I will watch it again

I never clicked on this because I think the last time I did I just saw Matt's shitty opinions. This thread is amazing. Coherance is next on my watch list.

Last few movies I've seen:
Housebound- 10/10. See last 8 posts.

Babadook- 8.5/10 (I like how it dealt with the theme, and the acting/cinematography/direction were great, but it could've done better with the creature. Left a little to be desired.)

V/H/S- 6/10 (I liked the compilation style, but it would've been better if they brought it all together somehow, or added ambiguity to the realism or to the reliability of the thieves. The murder scene in the Honeymoon part disturbed me more than anything else, and I thought the visuals in the exorcism house at the end were great.)

Interstellar- 6/10 (The 6 is from the visuals, grandeur, and Matty McBongo's great acting. Turned off by the plot, schamltz, and pacing. Sound was awful in IMAX. We deserved better.)

Gone Girl- 8.5/10 (Acting great all around. NPH was miscast, I couldn't get the creep vibe from him considering his infamy. Too long for my taste, and I just wasn't feeling the ending no matter how much people defend it)

Wolf of Wall Street- I have no clue how I feel about this movie. Why did it have to be three hours long? It went nowhere and provided nothing after about an hour and a half in. I felt like I could break the movie up into six thirty-minute HBO comedies.

I forgot The Family- 7/10

It by no means has any qualifiable reason to have that high of a rating. The acting is good, the plot is nothing special, and there's no underlying theme or motif that makes it stand out, but it's just an enjoyable, likable movie with a bad script. The children's characters are poorly written:

(especially the girl who is shown to be incredibly tough and suddenly wants to commit suicide because some guy she rando-fucked doesn't call her back. what the fuck? And then she single-handedly destroys like four mafia guys?)

Nightcrawler! Loved it. Jake Gyllenhaal is about the most convincing -opath (psycho? socio?) I've ever seen. Really got sucked into the narrative and rooted for/against characters. Also, there were a couple of scenes that are SUPER cringeworthy for all the right (ie non-comedic and genuinely unsettling) reasons. You should all watch!

Housebound was great

Best scene:

Spoiler	+
When Amos doesn't realize Dennis is behind him with a knife and asks for something to open up the wall with, then just reaches back and grabs the knife from him. I laughed so hard

I'd definitely go with sociopath. He didn't seem to take much JOY out of what he was doing, it seemed like he genuinely didn't understand human emotions for the most part. Like the part where he talks to his dying partner and explains why he did it. He didn't seem to be GLOATING, it seemed like he actually felt like that was a reasonable thing to do
