Wtf is it with Kiki and the devil

She was lonely and he paid attention to her

Can you expound on this?

To actresses who have nothing in common in terms of looks and appear the same age play the same character nine years apart so there can be a twist

It was a bit arthouse-ie sure but I felt it worked well to help show how much her best friend changed her when he left. She's a different person, so having her look different plays into that. It is certainly unconventional but in a film about demons and possession I don't think it goes too far over the line. Realizing who she was wasn't nearly as interesting as realizing who she was with anyway. Her laughter when she understands she is with the parents of a girl she killed really sells the mentality and change of actor.

Kiki and Best Emma in the same kino is nothing to bitch about. Lucy Boynton is cute too.

This, the Witch and Midsommar pretty much have the same ending. Can you imagine how Tipper Gore and all those whiny 90's mom cunts would react if they saw these movies about pretty young white girls willfully embracing the devil and paganism because fuck this world?

Satanicpanic was an odd time. Though it is not like they hadn't lived through similar films. The most well known horror film in america is about a young white girl being possessed by the devil after all.

This movie had NO fucking story. It's like the director saw better movies, tried to mimic them and only copied the surface level shit. I thought it would be about two girls trapped in a building over a winter break with devil worshippers. But that goes nowhere. Then I thought Kiernan Shipka would try and kill or tempt or the other girl into devil worship. But that went nowhere. So she just killed people and...the devil left her, after the quickest, most awkward and questionable exorcism in cinema history. And then she goes back and there's no devil. Or was she just crazy??????? What a fucking TWIST.

For fuck's sake, muh lingering shots, sparse dialogue and "ambience" do not make a good horror movie. There needs to be good dialogue if sparse, natural acting, interesting camerawork or shots, maybe a fucking STORY. I unironically enjoy slow burn atmospheric horror, but this was pretty banal and I will never understand why people like it.

Fell asleep twice. Gave up.

You need to be sold on the mental change and its implications to enjoy the film at all. The stilted and awkward acting coming from both main actors is (at least it should be) a representation of what that kind of relationship does to you. Unsure why anyone would consider it a twist ending though, mental instability was always an option considering her parents death.
I'd also recommenced not trying to guess where a movie is going unless it is a mystery of some kind. Immersion is important when it comes to these kinds of things.

I was never trying to guess, and small reveals were interesting but ultimately the film never went anywhere. We know nothing of these people's relationships in the school proper so to say that this emergency babysitting for a week somehow made her into a devil worshipping psycho is a bit of a stretch. They were girls in different years. Probably never interacted before that point. It was a very meandering, mumbling movie. It never picks an idea and goes with it, just sort of makes its mind up somewhere else. The furnace would have been a great thing to keep returning to and building, but it appears like two or three times, barely. Nothing is given any particular importance.

Her returning to it with the heads wasn't climatic enough for you?

I can see a bit of a resemblance.

The plot of this movie just holds up to zero scrutiny. It was a massive coincidence that she bumped into the girl she killed's parents? What was she going to do if she didn't bump into them? Why did it matter that she killed them instead of literally anybody?

>This, the Witch and Midsommar pretty much have the same ending

The difference is the Witch and Midsommar earned it better. Midsommar's entire run time is literally about how all of her relationship and the entire world is just shitting on her. All this movie has is "Oops my folks are dead, guess I love the devil now."

Lot of brainlets in this thread did not understand this good movie.

True, I didn't like it until my second watch, I didn't even finish it the first time

You definitely have to be in the mood for something slow. This dude's other film - I Am the Pretty Thing that Lives in the House - is even slower, but I thought it was a pretty great ghost movie.

Yeah. Or maybe they wanted to cast the bigger names they could afford as to make some money with their boring, hacky "slow burn" bullshit of a movie and weren't interested in spending more time thinking about the casting choices than the time they devoted to their shitty five-page-long script, and you're so much of a pathetic pseud you fell for it hook line and sinker.
Or your thing. Any of these theories could be true.

Is that the Netflix movie?
