>>87478721
That sounds a bit like a scene from Visitor Q, which is indeed Japanese.

>>87477838
This, basically.

not being able to recognize good film making just means you dont watch enough films

The soundtrack is generally agreed to be one of the film's strongest qualities, say what you will about it but it is pretty to look at. The general shot composition is really on point, with a lot of really striking images. There are also some fantastic tracking shots and long takes in the movie.

The movie is flawed and not the 10/10 masterpiece that people hailed it as upon release, mostly script/pacing related issues in the third act, but give credit where credit is due.

Seriously, one of the most overrated films. It was boring, the film equivalent to watching paint dry.

>>87477755
reminds me of early 80s John Carpenter.

It starts off good. Then it goes to shit when they learn the spooky STD can be stopped by shooting it in the head

>inb4 the usual mouthbreathers flood the thread with their idiotic rhetoric about how the movie is dumb and how they'd defeat/outrun/trap "it"

The fact that brainlets get so hung up on that shit speaks volumes about how hard the average movie goer missed the entire fucking point of the film.

This. I was just as excited for the movie as everyone else. Great trailer, even better soundtrack. And the movie had very Halloween-inspired cinematography, a unique monster, good performances. Hell, I even liked the dumb ending. I got a kick out of watching their plan immediately blow up in their faces.

But the movie was pretty disappointing, and certainly wasn't worthy of all the fellating it got. I think the horror landscape is so dismal that any time something remotely original comes along, it's "the greatest thing ever". I'd rank this somewhere around Pontypool--great idea, some good moments, kind of a letdown.

Why was that thing on the roof of the fucking house?

More importantly: why wasn't it moving in that moment?

The ending wasn't even dumb, it was just the climax that was a little silly, cliche, and kind of pointless. The actual resolution is great.

No matter what she does, "it" will never stop following Jaime. She can't kill it, she can't trap it, and she can't escape it. She can fuck a bunch of dudes to achieve a temporary release, but inevitably it will catch up to her again. Her living in constant fear, always running away and avoiding the problem, is inevitable unless she learns to accept "it" as part of her life. Stop running, and with the help of loved ones that understand what she's dealing with learn to live with "it" so that she can move on with her life.

"It" is a metaphor if you haven't caught on.

I honestly don't know how so many people missed this shit, it's really fucking blatant. It's as if they're blatantly ignored the subtext and themes of the film.
