rewatched this because the new ethel album reminded me so much of it but here i am to publicly defend this movie: this movie is so fucking good. the plot is soooo creepy and cool, it is so pretty to look at, the fact that it’s shot in the directors childhood home using his childhood toys so fun, it is analog horror as a movie. also nostalgia is such a popular thing to use in horror recently and since it’s done so much nowadays its rare for it to scare me but THISSSSSSS used it perfectly. the main complaint i hear from people is that the shots are so long and boring and literally no they aren’t. on rewatch i had this in mind and i legit counted the longest you will see a shot where there is no movement or talking is 5 seconds. 5 fucking seconds. so if that’s too boring for you idek what to say like good luck charlie. this movie is great and i wish there were more like it.  never thought i would write a letterboxd review w paragraphs<3
