okay I'm only 14 minutes in and this shit has me laughing.
The movie isn't bad, it's good, though I think some of the acting is a bit rough, but it's mostly from the kid actors, and well thats just kinda to be expected.
But I for God's sake can't take this movie seriously so far.
I was able to be cool with everything up until like four points.
HIS MOTHER IS A STRIPPER???
Omg, like nothing wrong with sex work- but omg, how did we get here, like, I haven't seen the first movie, and don't know too much about it, but I have heavy doubts his mother was a fuckin stripper in the first movie, omg just felt so out of left field I audibly went "She's a stripper??" out loud, thank god I was alone.
When the classic Michael Myers music began to play.
That music ngl is goofy as hell if not used right. I understand in a incredibly tense scene of life or death, that music can get your heart thumping. But his running off and the music suddenly playing?? Not nearly tense enough to make that music not gut busting worthy. Especially because it truly wasn't incorporated smoothly, it almost jump scared me... but honestly I don't know how someone would smoothly incorporate that music.
Coming off of that scene with some goofy ass music it was hard to take the scene proceeding seriously. The scene being Michael beating the bully kid to death, it got a little better at the end of the scene but in the start it was rough. Him with his big branch just lobbing on some kid while screaming.
It getting better after the scene with him and his father and his father acting like an ass to him, and I was locking in and everything.
But suddenly we're flipping between this kid just sitting there on the curb so nonchalantly and his mother stripping. It's so fuck sad, but I guess I have a fucked up sense of humor because I just had to pause and think of the serious scenes that I've seen in gifs and clips and the thought that played was "all because mommy was a stripper", and I know thats not the real or entire reason, but it didn't stop me from laughing
So far it's good, it's set up is good, Rob really never fails but god... I dunno if it's a me thing or what I just have a hard time locking in or getting immersed in movies if not very delicately approached. Just another reason House of 1000 corpse's is my favorite horror movie.
