I think I ranked this 2 stars on my Letterboxd and I feel kinda bad because this movie is more of like a 3 for me. I was just being a hater LMAOO I think my rating wasn't towards the movie specifically, but was more of a sinking realization that a lot of media nowadays that are able to gain mainstream success feel like they are shot to be one big, popular 60-second Youtube short. Idk if this makes any sense, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that every single scene felt as if it was self-contained in that moment rather than extending it's purpose towards moving the story and it's characters. In this movie especially is it guilty of this because once Nikki is possessed does every single scene up the ante all the way to 100...and then it just kinda stays there for the remainder of the movie? While I think it works in those first 10 minutes, does it start to wear down its novelty once every sequence for the next hour and a half is just her regurgitating the same idea, just in slightly different scenarios. Like ok I get that she's possessed and she has no control over her own body and the guy at the scene of the crime is a huge loser idiot coward. But that's as far as it's willing to go and I just wish it delved into the internal struggles that Nikki faces or even explore the sick gratification Bear gains when this all goes down. They only show this ONCE and it was arguably the most memorable part of the movie for me, so I was kind of was hoping it would touch on that area more considering that this movie is almost 2 hours long???? Instead, the film seems to be more interested in displaying the top 10 crazzzyyyy fucked up jumpscares which took away from any development this story could've had and just cheapened the entire message of the movie. I don't know, maybe they all are supposed to be this one-note to get the point across, but if that was all this movie was going to say then it would've worked way better as a short film. Also a bit of a nitpick because I know the budget for this was low, but my god bro I could not see what was going on half of the time because of how dimly lit everything was so it kind of took away from the "scary" moments. Still was mildly entertained and am also ready for everyone to stone me for this take
