this movie was so fun for me. it really aligned with my sense of humor, and i already love james' acting because he does NOT hold back in roles like this. very unsettling, and still so funny.
I did enjoy the film, but i would have tweaked the third act a bit. If it was more of a revenge thriller than merely the family defending themselves, it would havelooked more like "when a passive person has enough and lashes out" tone and will give the not-so-happy ending feel the director intended (and considering the director of the remake directed Eden Lake, which the director of the original cited as one of the inspirations, i believe this was his intention). That being said, I did enjoy the remake. That i hadn't know it was a remake and not having seen the trailers helped me appreciate this one. I do prefer the original, no doubt, but this one was worth it.
I just got out of this movie based on your recommendation, and I liked it! I'm glad you decided to continue movie reviews, I likely wouldn't have seen it if you hadn't posted this review so your input is very appreciated.
He prepared for this role by playing Patricia
Both amazing roles for him

Well that's good to hear!
Perfect casting for Mcavoy
I love seeing him in anything
Definitely not better. It misses the whole point of original. Also a lot less scary and disturbing.
It doesn't try for the same point and miss, it intentionally went in a different direction. For me, it was better.
@@BoxOfChocolatez Glad you liked it but it went in the "basic ass Blumhouse" direction
What was the point of the first one to you?
Going tonight, looks good
Enjoy, it's a lot of fun!
@@BoxOfChocolatez Thank you!
