Its getting Longlegs hype, and I liked that movie so my loins are gilded.

I bought the AMC discount package for 13 bucks a year ago I'm using that as an excuse to get my ass to the movies more

Fuck yes. Might be my favorite horror since hereditary. Fucking riot

Only complaint is the commercials/previews being 28 minutes long when the normal 20 minutes is already absurd 

If you really want to have fun, do a double feature of Barbarian at home then go see Weapons

This has long legs written all over it. Massive curated critic hype to be followed by audience letdown.

Longlegs was cool. 

Lol yeah, I guess I missed the Longlegs audience letdown

Longlegs tried to do two movies in one, a silence of the lambs type and then a blumhouse horror, and the sum didn’t add up to a great movie

Longlegs put me to sleep.

Saw Weapons tonight and it was a lot of fun.  The mystery turns out to be kind of dumb but the final comeuppance was great.

I thought the 1st part of Barbarian was good and the 2nd half was a different, rather shitty movie.  Will I like this one?  

Yeah, overall I enjoyed it, but second part was quite cliched relative to the first.

The Gladys character was super captivating, something very nostalgic or familiar about her performance. 

She must have developed her witchcraft skills when her family built that supernatural baseball field in a corn field in Iowa.

Loved it. The humor/horror mix was perfect - I feel like it's what Cregger was trying to do with Barbarian, but couldn't quite get it (and I liked Barbarian a lot). 

Spoiler

When I was in the restroom after the movie, this group of girls came in after me and one was all "I think it's, like, a commentary on our society's dependence on cameras and like, how even though they're everywhere you like, still can't know everything." I don't think so - as my son (he's 17) said afterwards, it's about a witch doing witchy things. I'm sure someone will draw some broader commentary that's relevant, but I like the simple interpretation. Some random thoughts below.

I cannot wait to get a gif of the kids chasing Gladys at the end. Everyone in the theater was dying laughing during that whole scene. And I never would have thought it was Amy Madigan.

Loved Gladys's whole "Raggedy Ann on crack" aesthetic. It was perfect for that character.

Speaking of crack, Austin Abrams was hilarious.

There were a lot of fun details around Marcus and his partner. They had matching (but not identical) Mickey Mouse shirts, and apparently only ate food that little kids eat? They had something like six hot dogs on that tray before Gladys showed up. I'd have liked to hang out with those guys. Before all the head smashing, of course.
