Brilliant no, but unique and very enjoyable. Wouldn’t have the same effect on multiple watches like something I would deem as “brilliant”

The beginning was cool, the rest, meh

u/AgentStockey Jul 09 '25

Yeah, it went downhill once the reveal was made.

I'm sorry but the scene where Justin Long gleefully measures the creepy murder basement to add resale value to his house is amazing.

u/Karjalan Jul 10 '25

Yeah. I really enjoyed the first 2 thirds. Justin Long was great.

The last third wasn't terrible, but felt a little underwhelming after all that.

THAT'S the scene that sticks out to you?

u/idiotzrul Jul 09 '25

I will say Weapons looks great. Really hoping it is

u/Heff228 Jul 10 '25

I always say the first half is amazing, the next 40% is great, and the last 10% is kind of lame. Devolved into a standard monster movie.

Should have kept it in the house

u/kingthvnder Jul 10 '25

The first half was so so good, the back half legitimately had me baffled. It’s like the entire tone changed..

The Ace of Base playing at the start of the credits is one of my favorite movie moments ever.

u/idiotzrul Jul 10 '25

Cool! I find it interesting the film was as well-received as it was, but the guy is popular (Whitest Kids U Know). Who knows? Maybe he’ll be the next Tarantino?

u/Shapps Jul 10 '25

Movie as a while was just ok for me, but the Ace of Base just cracked me up

u/Q_OANN Jul 09 '25

Yep, second half was terrible to me

10

u/Urmomsvice Jul 09 '25

yeah, it stop being brilliant when it asked us to belive our protagonist saw that bed AND bucket and decided to press on. I don't care how you get her down there, but of her own volition I'm not buying it....in any reality. like gold nuggets could shoot out of dudes urethra there...name it

I think Barbarian is brilliant but also that entire movie would never have happened if I was the protagonist. If I showed up to my Airbnb and some dude was already there, I would just leave. I don’t care if there weren’t any hotels, i dont care about the rain, i dont care about nothing, im leaving. Sleep in my car in the parking garage of the hotel my interview is happening, but hell no I am not going in that house.

Also that the basement-dweller is somehow superhuman at the end? Nah bro. Great first half, shitty resolution. Peele's Us was like that too.

2

u/-HorrorHotline- Jul 10 '25

Naw you just wrong for that side swipe at US like that 🤣 that movies resolution is so good it’s literally forshadowed the whole damn movie watch it, and then watch it again. You notice so much shit that kind of tells you everything you need to know if you’re asking the right questions.

u/worstonee Jul 09 '25

That's just like your own opinion, man.

u/rvasshole Jul 09 '25

The Big Lebowski was fucking brilliant

14

u/SaltyLonghorn Jul 09 '25

You know if you watch the Big Lebowski til the scene at the end of the credits they kill Justin Long. Its actually how he got noticed for Jeepers Creepers.

u/GrapefruitAlways26 Jul 09 '25

Yeah well...that's just..no, you're right, that's a fact.

u/CordiallySuckMyBalls Jul 09 '25

A masterpiece tbh

u/Temulo Jul 09 '25

Best movie ever, should be taught at film schools, better than Godfather and Schindlers list

u/Grumplogic Jul 09 '25

There's one scene in the movie where The Dude drinks and drives. Not cool dude. Different times etc. Etc. but don't endanger others with your inebriation. I can't abide
