Another question someone brought up. Why so many hot dogs for just two people?

That is a normal amount for two Americans to be eating. I mean the principal is not in the greatest shape.

We saw it on Sunday and everyone enjoyed it. I didn't realize Julia Garner was in it beforehand and she was definitely the highlight. In fact she could've been on-screen much more -that's my only critique. We've been to the movies so often this summer we decided it was worth it to join the cinemark club.

I'm likely going to see it again with my wife. She's not into horror but in telling her a bit about it in non-spoiler terms, she was a lot more interested. To me, it's more in the vein of a M. Night "horror" with incredible visuals and an interconnected story. I like the idea that it's label more as a horror version of Magnolia. I think that's fairly fitting.

holy shit the last 15 minutes were insane 😮😆

was reminiscent of the last 15 minutes of Killer Joe, obviously not the plot but the way the tension and the 'wtf is even happening!?!' just started rapidly ratcheting up.

both were a really fun ride 😄

That ending will make me laugh every single time I see it. One of the finest endings to a movie I’ve ever seen. Everyone was laughing while it was happening.

Not being a typical horror film fan, I did enjoy it. I appreciated the tension, the acting, the jumps in perspectives, and some of the laugh-out-loud moments. 

Did anyone else find the… metaphor if how children are, ummm hurt in today’s society interesting?

Especially that wild-life documentary feel of the zoomed-out camera shot of the kids running through the suburbs at the very end.

I don't get this at all

Cregger said Magnolia was a big influence on this movie. He said Magnolia showed him you can make bold epic movie that don't apologize or try to walk the audience through the meaning of it. There's also the trait that both share a story of interconnected characters. Paul is basically John C. Reilly's character even down to being a cop with a moustache. I've seen it twice now and enjoyed it just as much the 2nd time because you pick up on subtle things that you gloss over like Gladys being with Alex when the cops are talking to him early on.

Just saw it. Weird and creepy as fuck. Wouldn’t really call it scary or horror. 

Wait till you're kinda half awake this evening and look up at your celling fan.
