really cool premise and from time to time really steps up its game visually but the narrative seems to stretch too thin. while the beginning was pretty interesting, some of the second and third acts just wasn’t able to hook me.

Confounding and incongruous musical direction. Tone is all over the place with awkwardly paired images and sounds. All the flare happens in the beginning. There’s a visually striking showdown between an obi-wan-type character and another cloaked figure. But then the rest of the film never comes close to rivaling that energy again.

I think the biggest thing with this movie is that it is doing too much and struggles with not knowing who the main character is. So many characters are fighting for our attention, we end and begin the story with different characters, and follow different characters throughout the story. There were also just many, many characters. You think it is Jerzy’s story, but it could also be Katy’s, and you can’t forget Barbara. Just so convoluted. It has a cool character musical theme for the other world, very solid. Also the basketball scene and (maybe) the birthday scene were by far the best scenes and it only goes downhill from there.

I only watched this movie because of a really cool poster (not the default one on letterboxd but another one) and looking back at that poster now pisses me off so bad.
Literally nothing in the poster relates to the movie at all, sure a bloody wire appears in one scene but that’s it.
They must have planned a much different movie or something, parts of the movie itself also feel very unfinished or weird.
I actually thought the first half was pretty intruing and fun, an evil child trope but with some quite interesting lore. A lot of the second half is just boring filler or really annoying scenes. The ending is fine I guess but after the mess this movie is I didn’t feel satisfied at all.
 I just still can’t believe that damn poster.

Worthy of 3 stars for the most epically bad car crash scene alone. A solid “bad movie night” movie.
