This is EXACTLY why I’m not a fan of the horror/scary movie genre. Because 99% of them have some stupid, ridiculous ending. Lol. Ruins the entire movie for me.

Lol. Omg.

Finally watched this, the wife picked it.

2nd worst movie I’ve ever seen. Only a Clockwork Orange tops it in that Category.

I usually love twist endings but this one was completely illogical and made zero sense. The entire story was ridiculous.

Havo @ 22/6/2019 21:19 Lol. Omg. Finally watched this, the wife picked it. 2nd worst movie I’ve ever seen. Only a Clockwork Orange tops it in that Category. I usually love twist endings but this one was completely illogical and made zero sense. The entire story was ridiculous. .0000001/10 Do you also hate Ghostbusters because ghosts are bullshit?

Nope.

Ghostbusters is one of my all time fav comedies. It’s Golden.

I just hate stupid movies and twists that contradict the entire setup of the movie itself.

I just hate stupid movies and twists that contradict the entire setup of the movie itself. What was illogical and contradicting?

Here’s a screen grab from reviews on IMDB that I completely agree with.



There are plenty more issues, such as why doesn’t anyone even mention a gun? Ya know one of those things that is perfect for taking down evil twins. Where the hell did all the red uniforms and scissors come from? Why rabbits? Were there dupes for the entire world, or just the US? Were they all housed under Santa Cruz, because how could she convince “All” of them to rise up if they were spread all across the US?
After the girl slung her twin off the minivan by hitting the brakes, why did the mom get out, go into the woods and find the evil dupe in a tree, 20 yards off the road to the right? WTF?

The list goes on and on.

If you enjoyed this movie, more power to ya.

I find very few of these type of movies enjoyable because they usually are very illogical. And admittedly I rarely watch them. Had it not been for the wife choosing it, I wouldn’t have watched it, or I would have turned it off after the dupes showed up. I enjoyed the first part. And the lead actress was terrific. I liked “Get Out” for the most part so I thought maybe this would be to my liking as well.

Just not my thing. And everyone here knows my taste in movies sucks because I tend to prefer a quality story over shenanigans.

Jordan Peele tends to avoid spoon feeding you information as you watch and you really have to pay attention and tie things together for them to make sense. It seems like that review just took everything at face value and didn't really look at the deeper meaning of things, which is fine cause that's not everyone's jam. It was chalked full with social commentary and watching it a second time really opened my eyes to all the hints they dropped about everything throughout the film. While there are a few things that don't fully make sense, Jordan Peele always likes to keep a few things open-ended to leave it up to your imagination as to what will/has happened.

Oh I understand now.

I’m just not smart enough for a Peele movie, that’s it. Thanks for clearing that up.

I really should have just skipped the urge to call this movie out.

1. She probably didn't have amnesia and was LYING 2. Answers itself? Is it complaining that she referred to her as a shadow? 3. Why does anyone go insane? Does being hurt in an extremely stressful environment as a child do that possibly? This person gets A and C given and can't make up their own B. When you get B you get midichlorians. Here's a B: Insane girl tethered by her clone wants to kill her clone, tells the clones the only way to get free from the tether is to kill their counterparts to get help killing hers. 4. She could have, that's what the other one was afraid of, but 3. A. That happens in a lot of films and is pretty annoying, at least this was a coordinated attack at the same time at night when most people are sleeping. B. Who cares where they came from? They had a lot of red fabric down there and everyone got scissors and a sewing needle to make themselves clothes. Happy? C. The rabbits were foreshadowing that they were an experiment D. They were in the tunnels across the US, so just the US prob. Immigrants and their descendants since the experiment ended wouldn't have been there though. Maybe she gives a hundred people the idea and they give another hundred the idea and so on across the US? E. Don't remember that scene vividly TBH.

1 Why would she need to lie? No reason for it.
2 what’s the point? To set up the twist that’s the point, but it doesn’t hold up.
3 just fake it til you make it. Ok
4 Not good enough

A and? That shit happens in the South and there is no movie.
B no.
C thats fucking weak story telling
D sure, and we’re all just in the Matrix.
E well it was fucking stupid. So luckily you forgot it.

What’s even the point of the twist? Who gives a shit if she was the evil twin? What difference did it make? She was still protecting the good family members. She wasn’t killing them. It’s a weak ass twist. It’s not important to the story because it doesn’t matter. Now if she had turned on the family at some point it might have worked.

Are you hating on The Matrix now?

No. Was just saying your answer was pure fantasy.

Like the Matrix.

This is the reason I'm afraid to meet Havo. I want to avoid him posting a scathing review of me on FE. We would be enjoying our rouladen at Freiberg's when I would accidentally say fuck and wind up garnering that Tarantino/Us heat from him.

This mad me lol. Well played Z.

But in a twist, we’ve already met, I just didn’t tell you it was me.

MUUHHAAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAA.

Josh @ 23/6/2019 11:20

I think the point of the twist was to give you a sense of dread at the end of the movie. Because even though the "hero" still won, it still doesn't feel like a true win because you know the truth. Most of the time in horror movies, you have that moment where you get to clap and cheer when the hero defeats the evil -- But in this one, you only sort of get that moment.

Did you ever try Sneaky Pete Josh?

Josh @ 23/6/2019 16:16

i have not watched sneaky pete but you are the third person to suggest it so maybe it’s time i give it a go

Takes about 3 episodes to start rolling. The first couple are just kinda setting up the show, but they are decent.

Ahoda @ 24/6/2019 4:53

Why do people not named Spin or Primate talk movies with Havo? Everyone knows he has the worst taste of movies on this site.

What can I say? In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.

Just trying to bring a little culture and taste to all the youngsters here who are easily distracted by shiny things. And don’t know what plot holes are or why they are bad.

Look Hodie, a squirrel, holding a dildo.
