Awesome, I'll be sure to give it a watch! It's definitely been flying under the radar.The first omen was actually really solid. It’s too bad it came out so soon after Immaculate because the two are very very similar and it made it super predictable, even more so than it would’ve been.
Still, it doesn’t rely on jumpscares like Immaculate did, Nell Tiger Free is a much better actress than Sydney Sweeney, the horror worked really well, and overall it was a movie I do think horror fans should watch. I’m shocked too because up until last week, it wouldn’t have been on my radar at all
The more I think about Civil War, the more divided I am on it. The set pieces and production values are all top tier, but the story/world building and the repetitive nature of the movie's structure is definitely starting to gnaw at me more and more in the days since seeing it. (Getting distance from Arcadian is also helping with that clarity ) There are just too many plot points that don't really add up. Plus the needle drops in the soundtrack were total tonal whiplash. That's obviously what the Garland was going for but it comes off very pretentious and "Film School".
And then I think of the Plemmons scene and my mind loops back around to really liking it again
