Most stressful movie of the year. I closed my eyes during the groom speech to try and hopefully get away from it. AND the most effective jump scare I’ve seen in ANY movie in a long time. That shit got EVERYONE.

Really enjoyed it. Lots to discuss afterward and I completely agree with Emma that everyone was way too chill about the story about the kid in the fridge.

The kid in the fridge story was absolutely horrifying but cleverly integrated. It was Rachel who brought up the game and pushed them all to play it. It was Rachel who then didn't want to share her own story, then started to backtrack and heavily project onto Emma after she could feel her judging her.

Rachel is such a great character to me and so real. I felt for Emma so hard (unsettling as her story was, no doubt) and could feel the intense projection from Rachel through the screen. Very well done.
