Yep, wasn't bad at all. Thought it was on par with A Quiet Place.
Yes.
Co-incidentally, they were also blacklisted by lesbians.
She wasn't deaf from birth, she lost her hearing from an accident (that also killed her paternal grandparents) that occurred a few months prior to the events in the movie.
That's why she says that her family was learning to sign - because it was new to all of them. And that's why she is able to speak normally, because she had no problem until the accident.
Yep, not bad at all for a low budget flick. The washed out color helped emphasize the bleakness and the little cannibal getting her head chopped off in the end was satisfying.
6.5/10
Gross.
Miss me with that gay shit.
We, the audience, know how the demon operates and how anything & everything she experiences could be a hallucination.
But she doesn't know that. She was already trying to cope with a lot of trauma and just got this curse added to everything else. Only when the ER guy told her about it did she actually come to know about it, but even then she barely registered what he was saying (which was a hallucination too, anyway). So from her POV, she must've thought she was "simply" losing her mind. The demon feeds off pain and dark emotions, which is why it continued to manifest those people, as it probably knew how far a victim could be pushed without offing them altogether before the chosen time.
There were a lot of hallucinations, true, but some of them were not easy to discern (like her mother killing herself, which was a hallucination within a hallucination) and Naomi Scott's acting made it bearable to watch.
True. Cult members doing cult member things. Guess stupid people need a spokesperson of their caliber to feel represented too haha
Haha, that's not untypical of some people playing that game lol. Try playing it without headphones and with the lights on. It's just a game and overcoming the fear will make you feel good about yourself rather than letting it beat you this way. You can also watch people playing it in YT to get over the hump.
I have seen Romulus and found it underwhelming. There were a couple of scenes that were good, but the cast, script and the overgrown alien hybrid baby in the end just didn't do it for me. The research station did remind me of AI's Sevastopol as did the interiors, the computers and the atmosphere. Even the black Android reminded me of the rogue ones from AI.
I think a movie based on the game would be amazing to see, if done right. I would love to see what Sevastopol would've looked like when it was operating normally.
<blockquote>Ellie doesn't recognise her mother in 2005</blockquote>
Not right away, but she does, once she hears her call her toddler Ellie and puts 2 & 2 together after spotting the necklace. The time travel thing aside, you don't normally expect to run into a younger, never-seen version of your family member, so her initial reaction was quite realistic.
<blockquote> Also strange that Ellies mother doesn't recognise her in the present day as the woman who attacked her in 2005</blockquote>
Don't think it's strange. How many people's faces from 20 years ago do you recall accurately, especially if the encounter lasted less than 5 mins and you were in an agitated mental state? Ellie grew from baby into an adult over the regular 18-20 years, so her gradual facial change over the years would make her mom recognize/perceive her much differently than a complete stranger she encountered very briefly 20 years ago. Memories blend and become hazy over time.
Yep, bit of a let down.
I remember chatting with you a while ago here. Did you ever get around to finishing Alien Isolation?
