- the intro then panning to the broken tree in the back yard is awesome
the names of the tapes are so clever lol - ethan watching the films with a notepad is me right now
- the sound of the ropes when he goes outside to look at the tree – nice touch
- the montage of him putting the film in is cool
- the sounds in the second film – ick – music/sounds from films are uncomfortable, eerie,
- him going to take a drink and the glass is empty while watching the second film
- ethan trying to figure out how to edit the film back together, also cool
- that tree keeps coming into frame is cool
- using the phone flashlight is pretty sick, you can tell they really used that too bc it’s not lighting up anything lol
- the cop is such a great supporting character – “snakes don’t have feet” / the fan girling is so comical
- when he takes the screenshot of the face and stands in front of it – it’s like a stand off
- the face moving in the still on the computer – iconic
- when he holds the screenshot up to the window and pulls it down to see the face outside
- scorpion, snake, doggo – manifestations, yes
- the way they introduce the kid’s spirits is pretty cool, and how their movements are making actual noise in the house and making him move around
- the light work when they’re fighting in the bedroom, him sitting in the shadow and moving in and out of the light, the wife mostly in the light…and then they switch places with her in the shadow
- “your kids are your legacy” – the twist of the kids being the killers and their own families legacies bc they were never found
- the scene of him waking up, going into the attic, the kids and the thing up there, spooky but wish it was creepier
- ugh the hope of them actually leaving and the movie ending there.
- knowing what was going to happen, sick to my stomach dawg
- the images gateways – ethan’s screenshots of the stuff
- the darkness behind him at the desk…..foreshadowing of what loooms
- “the problem is that you moved” … “you not only sped up his timeline, you put yourself in it”
- the goosebumps of stephanie swinging on the parent’s leg….
- the glowy green stuff in the coffee was a bit corny
