It was depressing as hell, but personally that's not super off-putting. I might have been film nerding too hard.

spacecadetglowao3.bsky.social•52 days ago

I can absolutely see how it would appeal to film nerds! It was very good at what it was trying to do, I think.

(could have been gayer though)

🫂🖤💚🖤🫂 I’m sorry, sad on a Saturday isn’t a great note for the weekend

tripinmidair.bsky.social•52 days ago

It's that German 1920s gothic expressionist thing, I don't think the Germans knew how to make a happy movie back then and Eggers is kinda the same lol

spacecadetglowao3.bsky.social•52 days ago

Yeah, I definitely think the movie succeeded in what it was setting out to do. I just didn't expect to feel so sad about it!

ophelialoonyluv.bsky.social•52 days ago

Aw, man...I've been there. I didn't feel quite right for like 3 days after I saw "Lights Out."

slpierce111.bsky.social•52 days ago

I feel like there were the expected amount of horny and horror, but the MELANCHOLY was unexpected for me

spacecadetglowao3.bsky.social•52 days ago

Honestly it was way less horny than I'd expected based on people's reactions. Like there was plenty of sexual content but the tone was not horny, IMO.

slpierce111.bsky.social•52 days ago

I get that. Or something sounds horny, but actually it's rats

spacecadetglowao3.bsky.social•52 days ago

RATS! (Sorry idk if you know the band Ghost but I couldn't resist. They are both horny and have a song called Rats with a very silly music video)

disabledpirate.bsky.social•52 days ago

It’s a very sad somber ending 🫂

cherrybaum.bsky.social•52 days ago

Sending love 💗💗💗

wine-and-spine.bsky.social•52 days ago

This is how I felt as well. I think people misinterpreted my statements as meaning horny, but yeah, I just felt sad (and way way too single for it.)

spacecadetglowao3.bsky.social•52 days ago

I don't remember what you said about it but I'm sorry it made you sad too! 🫂 It was just bleak from start to finish. Which I suppose was the point! But a little too much so, for me.

bookofoak.bsky.social•52 days ago

🫂🫂 I think the bleakness of the ending was mediated for me personally by how much my sister absolutely loved it and was so happy I went to go see it with her. but yeah beautiful and also so very mournful.

spacecadetglowao3.bsky.social•52 days ago

The final shot I was like "wow that is so beautiful and also I feel awful" lmao

bookofoak.bsky.social•52 days ago

(again personally mediated for me by my sister saying “kitty!” with delight as the professor picked up the cat)

bookofoak.bsky.social•52 days ago

yeah basically! and i think that WAS the reaction the director was trying to provoke. which, fair, but probably not what people going into the film expected to feel at the end.

hedlicious.bsky.social•52 days ago

I thought it was bleak in a “realistic” way because honestly, who was going to stop him from doing what he said he was going to do?

caribbeancrocs.bsky.social•52 days ago

❤️‍🩹

dinoromance89.bsky.social•52 days ago

I also saw it yesterday! It was beautiful and well acted and the jump scares really made me jump. But I agree, it was much more sad than horny. And I did enjoy the bleak melancholy but also I am a depressed bitch so that tracks 😅

spacecadetglowao3.bsky.social•52 days ago

Lol I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🖤

alyxanderrowan.bsky.social•52 days ago

I felt the same way! I know Jam really enjoyed it, and there we aspects of the film, like the cinematography and score, that I really liked. But overall, it just felt so bleak. And the ending was just... Fuck.

spacecadetglowao3.bsky.social•52 days ago

Relentlessly bleak. And saying so feels like, "Horror movie was horrifying, more at 11!" But yeah.

alyxanderrowan.bsky.social•52 days ago

I feel like with most horror movies, there's at least some levity or hope, but with this one, there wasn't. And yeah, sure, it was horny, but it was horny in the way a sad wank is horny.

spacecadetglowao3.bsky.social•52 days ago

Yeah I could have used a moment of respite at some point. And I just said in another comment thread, sexual content doesn't necessarily mean a horny tone or narrative? Vampire dong is fun but of course he's nakey, do you think he would wear black pirate panties (for example) in his sarcophagus lol

alyxanderrowan.bsky.social•52 days ago

That's a really good point! It's also very interesting for me, as someone who doesn't really watch horror movies like... At all to go into it. I was going largely based off the novel, so the ending was uh. Different.

spacecadetglowao3.bsky.social•52 days ago

I don't watch a lot of horror either. And yes, very different from the book lol

cannibalsnplaid.bsky.social•52 days ago

Oh interesting! I’m sorry it made you feel sad. I’ve been hearing “horny” and “classic”. What is the sad part from?
