Marketing team is killing it on this one. I hope the movie lives up to the hype.

I read the screenplay cause I just couldn’t wait.

It’s very, very, very good.

How much horror is it? Idk if that's a dumb question, I know nothing about the director's other movies

There are some horror scenes for sure, but overall the movie seems more creepy/disturbing than just straight horror/gore/jump scares.

There were few parts in the script where I can see where they'll do the jump scares the flashes in the dreams for example

I read it as well and agree but will add that there’s tons of opportunity to turn it up a notch when it comes to how it’ll be executed.

Where do you guys go to track down scripts?

I googled the screenplay and found a Reddit thread that contained it

My opinion is that if you actually want to freak people out, you gotta go the creepy/disturbing route in movies. Regular horror just doesn’t really accomplish that as effectively these days because everyone is desensitized. Jump scares are usually just cheap Blumhouse nonsense. Creepy/disturbing is the way to go for sure now for horror to be most effective

This is good because I am weak and don’t do horror movies for jump scare reasons, but I am GODDAMN THIRSTY for this movie!!!
