I steeled myself to be disappointed after all the hype this was getting, but I actually really enjoyed it. It was like a bigger, and ultimately sloppier, version of Get Out when it comes to a 'standard' horror premise that expands into something bigger and weirder. Pretty much everything worked for me. The Home Alone joke fell flat for me, but the kill count joke came close after and it got me good. It made me more excited for the new Twilight Zone show because the first 40 or 50 minutes would have worked pretty perfectly as an episode.

Jolo posted:Adelaide's double basically becomes or learns to be human but Adelaide either stays below and goes nutty to plot revenge or she is forced to mimic the double's actions because reasons. The double gets free will and she loses it because of location? Bleh. Well, the Adelaide who stays behind does still have free will. She literally organized some kind of uprising.

Maxwell Lord posted:(Not just cinematically either, I think there's a bit of Stephen King in how the story works.) Good call. That's probably why the half-assed explanation didn't bother me at all. I'm a big Stephen King mark, so I'm used to that.

That Italian Guy posted:Also when she's talking with her husband abound not going to the beach...the scene works in the context of "she has been traumatized by something unexplained as a child, but as an adult she powers through"; it stops working when the stakes are raised to "she'd be 50 feet away from the secret lair she's imprisoned her double in". I feel like it's pretty safe to assume that the Adelaide who's above ground has basically suppressed her memories of being a clone.

boquiabierta posted:This is a really interesting theory that I'm disappointed didn't get more of a response here. It does seem like maybe there was something weird about the editing, or something changed later, and I don't remember that monologue from the trailer being in the movie. What do y'all think? I mean, maybe there was an earlier version of the film where Adelaide remembers she's one of the Tethered early on and tells her family, but I don't think there's a trace of it in the final film. That line from Gabe is due to the fact that Adelaide knew poo poo was wrong early on and is clearly very capable when it comes to loving up doubles.

Tenzarin posted:I finally saw this movie. I love the director but there is alot unexplained. Tim Heidecker was great in it and I really liked how all the tethered couldn't speak. What was unexplained that should have been?
