Like i don’t like comedy as as genre but when it mixes with action or thrillers it’s a complete shitshow. Characters make weird decisions , responds to the situation in stupid ways , characters cracking joke while someones losing their head , makes plot holes as in that’s so stupid no one would do that it’s only there to advance plot , makes remarks not suited to the situation all so they can sneak in some one liners or cringe jokes. There are aldready comedy movies let them enjoy that and let others enjoy other genres . Mixing comedy with other genres ruins an othervise good movie.
As you said the characters are no jokimg it’s the drug doing that and in the end i can understand coz you know context.
It’s only revealed in the last 20 minutes of the film. Were you upset before that?
No it wasnt
It was hinted through the whole damn movie
You either didn’t watch the film or didn’t understand its subtext. The movie is making fun of people like you.
I did watch it and it is mocking holywood steriotypes , cliches not people hating comedy in horror
Yeah, you didn’t watch it. While the company that runs the rituals is a mockery of Hollywood, and the cliches of horror genre are all satirized, the Ancient Ones represent the audiences. Specifically the genre snobs like you, who simultaneously demand contradictory expectations and confuse genre with their personal taste. At the end of the day, these are capricious gods who want the film makers to do exactly what the genre, but something new, kind of the opposite but not quite, but also mix it, but at the same time don’t mix it too much so its familiar, and when ultimately displeased and dissatisfied, they will figuratively destroy the world that the film exists in with their damning “I don’t like it when…” just because the ritual (film) didn’t fit into their ephemeral mold of expectations.
The point of the film is that at the end of the day genre is just a marketing label, just shut up and watch the film, whether you liked it or not as a insert-genre-here film doesn’t ultimately matters to the film and their makers. It matters to you. But any platitudes or futile attempts to define, judge or evaluate a film based on genre will always devolve into waste of breath arguments that all they’ll achieve is one thing: anger the Ancient Ones. Make everyone in the room mad. Because at the end of the day movie genres have no objective definitions. For every formula that defines a genre, there’s dozens of films, widely regarded as part of that genre, that break the formula.
