Fear (2023)
Great on Shrooms!
I'm quite sure this may be one of the worst movies I've ever seen had I been sober. But let me tell you hwhat! Having just eaten a magic candy bar, this movie absolutely made my night.
The movie starts with a cheesy opening. The color of clothing all of the characters are wearing seems to imply something. All in white with one wearing red. Wrong. Just a weird choice.
The flow of dialogue is ridiculous. Nothing sounds natural. Everything sounds entirely forced. Like T. I. saying the word "botched."
The sheer convenience that all of the characters are goaded into admitting all of their fears out loud while occupying a lodge where "fear witches/spirits?" reside.
They make the characters go into some sort of dream state where they experience their own fear while in the real world are actually dying from some sort of real version of this fear. And some of the characters can actually see the witch/spirit as it's sucking their soul out.
Another occurrence is the witch, who apparently lives in a trunk in the basement, can control media or convince the entire party that records are playing backwards and news reports are making false reports while a creepy voice tells them they'll all die, making it impossible to tell if the report is real or not.
And finally the false endings. Which seemed to just keep going on. And honestly that part was pretty fun. Reminded me of the end of the Super Nintendo game: Donkey Kong Country.
All in all, it was an absolute blast to not only watch, but feel like I was a part of in this madness while I was just confused af. Absolutely recommend to watch while on psychedelics.
