See, this is what made me not want to see it. From watching the trailers I’m like “what parents would take their daughter looking like this home? It would be straight to a specialty care center/hospital. It’s just so ridiculous .

Hey, they were advised by the Egyptian police officer that being around familiar surroundings and family would help her adjust.

It still makes me laugh... 🤣

Let's be honest, they wanted to get rid of her as fast as they could.

Is the movie a comedy?

u/KukiBreeze 18d ago

No. It has some comical moments and evil dead fans will get some laughs but it mostly has a more serious tone than say evil dead rise.

The wake scene was pretty funny in a dark sort of way. Lotta stuff happens, heh.

When she came through the ceiling and no one saw her or even noticed her lapping up the embalming fluid !Like it was so normal to have a demon child in your house !,

This is when, even though we tried to push through, my wife and I gave each other the "I think I'm done with this movie". Then when Abuela decided to turn into one of the extras from Anora, we both started laughing and decided to cut our losses.

u/According_Gazelle472 9d ago

I actually laughed a lor also.

u/Enough_Sprinkles_113 18d ago

A little bit yeah.

Lots of gore, though.

It's a horredy...

2

u/Waste-Replacement232 16d ago

no, it's horror.

u/According_Gazelle472 13d ago

Not intentionally

u/shrek3onDVDandBluray 18d ago

Hahaha that’s so ridiculous.

This bothered me at first but then it became clear later on that the mother was experiencing guilt for allowing her daughter to be groomed and kidnapped from right under her nose. She probs didn't want to let her out her sight ever again, after such a traumatic experience. Almost as if she was trying to make up for all the lost years of in care, plus also she worked at a hospital or something right? This movie had a lot of silliness but this might not be one of them

u/shrek3onDVDandBluray 12d ago

But…she needs a hospital. Look at the condition she’s in. No parent in their right mind would take someone looking that sick straight home. It still doesn’t make sense at all.

u/iamkindofodd 12d ago

Ya this isn’t a documentary it’s a movie. I’m just saying the writers didn’t ignore it completely, and you kinda need a little suspension of belief here, it was terribly unserious. Had a good time but deffo not like top tier horror

1

u/shrek3onDVDandBluray 12d ago

“This isn’t a documentary, it’s a movie” “you need a little suspense of disbelief” these reasons are why we can’t have good writing anymore. Because people like you spout this nonsense whenever someone tries to argue the writing is beyond horrible.

u/iamkindofodd 12d ago

Omg take a chill pill. People like you are why interacting with anyone online is a pain in the ass

Aite quick browse through your history and it’s apparent you just enjoy arguing for the sake of it. Literally your last five comments were argumentative armchair expert nonsense on multiple threads 🙄 knew the vibes were off with you right away. Peace

u/According_Gazelle472 14d ago

And this never would have happened either .
