I would say "this was my favorite film of 2021" except its release was so thoroughly buried that I'm not even clear on what year it came out. This was the last release of Fox Searchlight Pictures before it was shuttered, if I'm remembering correctly. Anyway, great modern cosmic horror. Came as close as anything since to giving me that good True Detective Season 1 vibe. I need to give it a second watch to add more but it's extremely rare that a horror movie wears a 2 hour plus runtime this well.

Gorman Thomas posted:Yeah I think it was, also the film was a bit of a meme at 21st Centruy Fox as the studio thought it was trash lol. I know a couple of ex-fox ppl who are shocked that it actually turned out to be a fine film. One of the funny things about it is it has both a very similar title and pretty much the same premise as The Bye Bye Man. Would make a fun double feature if you want to see the same basic plot done both as a genuinely good horror film and a so-bad-it’s-good horror film.

Lil Mama Im Sorry posted:Another low-budget horror comparison would be Butterfly Kisses, which is actually dope whereas I’ll never watch a movie called “The Bye Bye Man.” I won’t go so far as to call it good, but I do recommend The Bye Bye Man, it’s a standout bad movie of the past decade for me, very fun.
