On rewatch, sure its still funny and some of its characters are fun to follow like James and of course the performance are still great and creggers camera moves really great in so many scenes...yet what was it going for thematically?

Its so all over the place because its not just some horror junkfood but it also doesn't have a clear idea of what it actually wants to say.
I think Amy Madigan being nominated for her performance is kinda funny because its good but not great.
Its narrative structure is neat but when half of its cast is kinda weak, you lose me. Its not terrible, its still able to be funny but also scary at certain times and james is my goat( Rest in peace🕊) but it all just feels aimless.

I hope Zach cregger keeps my goat justin long employed.

Silly but also creepy.
Josh Brolin, Julia garnen, Benedict wong, Austin abrams and Alden Ehrenreich are all great.
I think most of them are fully realized characters.

I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw Justin long's face. Like I had no idea he would be in this movie.
I think how it balances it's comedy and horror is really good but I can see why it would throw allot of people off.
The ending can be hit or miss for allot of people but I myself found it very amusing.

I do not understand why some people are calling this movie transphobic at all. Is it because of the woman with a red wig?
Like I personally don't get it.

I liked the cast, the chapters, some of the jokes, and some of the scenes, but every time we were getting somewhere, the chapter would switch! Two steps forward, one step back, for what felt like five hours. Maybe I'll soften upon a rewatch.
