11:45 -ish. I will forever be thankful to Cabin in the Woods for "I am drawing a line in the sand here. Do. Not. Read. The Latin!"

The movie theatre is literally the worst place to watch this. Every quiet moment was filled with the sounds from the action movie next door lmao

I'm not superstitious. But I am stitious enough to be very freaked out by this one and will NEVER be watching it, thank you for your service

My favorite part of this movie was the couple choosing to sit right behind me and loudly eating chips.

33:03 that “nope, no I’m not, goodbye” was the most Canadian response to a demon I’ve ever heard 🤣👹

Wow. I didn't know a lot about this movie going into this video, and this has been a terrible choice to watch while feeding my baby at 3am. Mistakes were made.

This is basically a cognito-hazard from SCP. The idea that you are safe simply because you don't know about it and are doomed when you do is a cool concept.

My mom had postpartum depression when she had my sister and I. It’s so much more common than what people would like to admit. If you do feel this way please don’t feel ashamed. Talk with someone and your doctor, we want to support you ❤

Aww, St. Rita was my confirmation saint. She's the patron saint of domestic violence victims, impossible causes (along with St. Jude), mothers (along with many others), difficult marriages, and is invoked against depression (my pick) and I think other mental illness... I'm out of practice so I can't fully recall. Her life story, with her family, is kinda wild.

Not same patronage as what the movie says but I could see why she'd be a pick, given her ties to family traumas.

I love that the captioning on the movie has the dialogue on the tape spelled backwards instead of what it actually sounds like

I think there's themes of cases where mothers ended their own children under religious psychosis, often after being denied treatment for postpartum depression. It feels timely with the current pronatalist agenda

0:50 Missed opportunity for a raycon open earbuds ad 😂

literally HATED finding out that the cast and crew encountered some odd things while filming. the night i saw it, i woke up AT 3AM TO MY LAMP IN MY LIVING ROOM FLICKERING ON. i didn’t sleep for a week.

Me: I'm sure I can watch this video at 3 am it can't be that scary

Me, 35 minutes later, hugging my half-asleep cat: please protect me from the evil PLEASE PROTECT ME FROM THE EVIL

Soooo not a movie to watch while pregnant…noted

The suffocation made me think less about it being her literally dying and more about the idea of motherhood/caretaker loneliness (when not well supported) and the inability to escape it being a suffocating/drowning feeling.

I love that people are dissecting this movie because it's one of my favourites of the year. I also got to meet and hang out with the director at a Canadian film festival screening! I want to add my own thoughts to this movie since the director and writer is Filipino and I see a lot of Filipino Catholic influence in the story despite the main characters not being Filipino. More so because this was shot in the director's own home, so the Filipino influence was literally all over the house, in the storytelling, and some of the background details.

The statue of Sta. Rita de Cascia, for example, is infamous in the Philippines, and she's in Siquijor, which is famously the most haunted, witchy spot in the country known for having a lot of dark magic. There's also a lot of Filipino horror that centres specifically on childbirth, miscarriage, abortion, and feminine monsters that target children and pregnant women. The demon in this story is basically a fictionalized manananggal or tiktik, a mythological creature that likes to eat unborn babies, children, and small animals. They're unique for having long thin proboscis tongues, which might be connected to "lick the blood off".

Despite having the serial numbers shaved off, as it were, there's a deep and undeniable Filipinoness to the horror that I connected with immediately as a Filipino horror audio creator.

I went into this movie completely blind. I didn’t watch or read a single thing about it. As someone who lived with and helped take care of my dementia ridden grandma until her passing a ~year ago, I cried SO MANY TIMES. One of the friends I went to see it with also just had his grandma pass around the same time as mine. Usually he’s the one that watches the trailers and knows everything about the movie going into it but this was the first time he didn’t and he apologized to me afterwards. He said “if I knew it would be like that, I at least could’ve warned you and been prepared myself.” Lol and we hugged and cried when it was done. Easily one of the most impressive horror movies I’ve seen in a looonnggg time

This movie actually made me cry in the theater. Yes, it was very scary, but my tears came from the scenes where Evie is taking care of her mom. It made me think about my own mom, how I still rely on her so much, but one day she will be relying on me. When I got home after the movie, I sent my mom a text about how I promise to take care of her when she can no longer take care of herself, even if she's catatonic or has dementia. She said, "Uhhh, ok. Love you too honey."

I interpreted the ending as eve’s mother killing her like the other mothers killing the children, playing into the themes of parental trauma. Tho the ending with eve going through the same thing as other mothers makes sense, I kinda vibe with the mom killing her more
