I honestly don’t want to like this movie cause yall are SICK. But yeah it was good… First I’ll say the comedy was great and perfectly balanced with the horror elements which made sense given the style. Also made this movie enjoyable!! The set design and colors were absolutely beautiful, you really do feel like you’re inside a kid’s imagination. And also, what a daring concept! Make all the leads children and get this, it’s a horror movie. And somehow, because it is sickly rooted in a child’s imagination, it works.  I think they used horror elements perfectly. It’s absurd, it’s funny, it’s disturbing, and it actually means something.  As for the critiques, it’s almost like they were worried people wouldn’t get it, so the metaphor becomes redundant. I understand it’s a surreal horror concept, but after halfway in, I get the movie already. The movie does a great job building up to the horror, but when you actually get to it, it loses its bearings. The ending could’ve been at least 15 minutes shorter and it still would’ve wrapped the movie perfectly well.  Also the references to the real world were a little too obvious. I know it’s supposed to hit close to home, but not at the cost of its originality.  After writing this review I’d say it deserves a solid 7/10. Very well done and I am properly disturbed. Also a wild concept that I appreciate they didn’t shy away from. Thanks.
