Butterfly Kisses

TS kinda good, except for the ending it feels like a cliffhanger

if Erik's making a movie, and Gavin's making a movie, and Feldman and Sophia are making a movie, then who's driving the bus?

What a refreshing take on found footage, not at all what I expected! It works not only as a solid horror experience, but also as a kind of self-aware commentary on the genre itself with an underlying layer about modern obsessions and how easily they can spiral, pulling people deeper until they lose their grip on reality.

It honestly reminded me of the kinds of internet horror rabbit holes I’ve personally fallen into over the years—things like Slender Man tapes, Bohemian Grove theories, the Backrooms, The King in Yellow, even Five Nights at Freddy’s with its dense lore and ARG-style expansion into something that feels almost like modern folklore. The film really captures that same unsettling feeling of getting trapped in an idea and not being able to let it go.

It was also fun hearing the film name drop so many familiar places in MD, it just adds a weird layer of realism. The REAL Peeping Tom is Kyree from Severna Park smh

I was not into Butterfly Kisses at all. It’s so boring. It’s also needlessly meta and the message is not as deep as the production crew thinks it is. I wish they would just tell a cool story and call it a day.

Audiences were supposed to care about Sophia and Feldman but were never given enough information about them to establish why investment should occur. Similarly, Gavin was flat and his skeptical film crew was insufferable.

The pacing was so bad and the buildup went nowhere. I was constantly checking how much time was left in the film to see if I was almost done. I wanted the climax to make up for all I had been through while watching, but it did not.
