despite the fact that we never get much closer than arm’s length from any of the main characters this maintains itself as an entertaining film, even if the message comes off as hokey or a little hollow, especially since it’s a movie about female empowerment written and directed by a dude. still, pretty great to see girls mow guys down with machine guns and i’m into that marching band cover of miley cyrus’s “we cant stop.”

this movie takes its fucking time leading up to the main course and by god is it *chef’s kiss*. the sweetest slow burn if i’ve ever seen one. not only does it take its time instilling dread that cuts you straight to the bone, but you really care about this group of people- even the ones you don’t trust. will is the perfect horror movie protagonist. i know it’s so commonplace for horror characters to do the wrong thing for…
perfect. perfect movie. perfectly for me. so fucking weird and messy and stupid and flawed and wonderful, how all my favorite movies are.
i don't know what it is about stories of listless, wayward, horny young men that somehow resonates with me more than ones about women like me. i am them, in a weird way, i think. somehow, deep down. i want to fuck them but also be them and it is so weird.
i will have many more things to say about this. i would like to watch it again and again.
