If you can get over your preconceived notions, I'd bet that you'd really enjoy this movie. It's extremely well executed and genuinely unsettling without ever getting gory, comedic or stupid.
- cheschire 4mo agoI must be the weirdo for not wanting to feel unsettled like that. Doesn’t reality have enough unsettling stuff? Why pile onto that? Give me comedy. Oh how I miss the 90 minute comedy movie.
- peteforde 4mo agoWhat I find unsettling is that large swathes of mainstream society seem to consistently tack towards safe, unchallenging pablum. Why watch Parasite when you could watch a Happy Gilmore sequel? I'm not saying this to be contrarian or give you a hard time. You should watch whatever makes you feel joy. However, you shouldn't be surprised that for a lot of people, music, movies, television and books (I kid, I kid) that don't surprise, challenge, shock, confuse or inspire us feels vapid, hollow and intellectually insulting. Long live the counterculture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujJ8talVp90 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujJ8talVp90
- kikokikokiko 4mo agoI would rather go watch Weekend at Bernie's for the 100th time.
- tinyplanets 4mo agoAmen to that!
- SSLy 4mo agoBackrooms does have comedy, or at least comedic moments in it.
- peteforde 4mo ago... I'm genuinely intrigued to hear what you found funny.
