- ReviewedCarrie2d agoNobody puts Queen Carrie in the corner! 💃🩸 That final dance is so epically euphoric because she is finally, ferally free. Free of the shame, the surveillance, the social rules, the demand to make herself smaller for everybody else’s comfort. She’s just taking up space, being weird and ecstatic and unapologetically herself. After being constantly told who she’s supposed to be, watching her choose joy over obedience hits like a full psychic exorcism!
- ReviewedMenendez Brothers: Misjudged?3d agokids killing abusive parents bc adults wouldn't help. couldn't save them when it mattered, couldn't save them at trial. travesty of justice, nothing new. seems strange internet randos wanna help more than their whole fucking family & community. demonize & ridicule the abused? victim blaming to the highest degree, punish those who admit abuse so others won't come forward, same old shit in a system run by abusers. "When you're inflicted with abuse, you start feeling like you don't have a sense of control, you can't change anything, it's never going to stop. So in turn a victim can become compliant with the abuse to minimize the amount of punishment they may get. So they're basically hoping that the abuser takes it easy on them if they just comply with everything and don't create a fuss. They truly start believing that no matter what they do, nothing will change and that they're incapable of leaving." "Childhood sexual abuse can affect the brain and cognitive development, the way victims can act and think. We see increased aggressiveness, increased impulsivity, memory problems, heightened sense of fight or flight all the time, constant stress level that they operate on." "When someone is sexually abused, that sense of freedom that they can experience initially and that adrenaline high could lead them to do something such as spending impulsively to feel that freedom and enjoy life because they haven't been able to."
- ReviewedThe Serial Killer's ApprenticeOctober 15, 2026poor = prey, predator playground. psychologically proven predictable pathways. monsters manipulate masterfully through trauma tells. social safety net non-existent --> perfect preconditions psycho proliferation. plutocratic patriarchal powers perpetuate. "There is this mental frame that people can get into under the right circumstances. We call them adverse childhood experiences. To be able to be manipulated by a predator who's targeted them." [Ramsland] "Right now we don't have an adequate response to a person who's a victim and perpetrator. And we need to." [Ramsland]
- ReviewedMessiah of EvilOctober 15, 2026Unrivaled opening monologue which includes manic pixie dream zombigirl 🤯 Arletty's journey to nightmarish Californian town, Pointe Dume, marked by paranoia & alienation, serves as critique of historical handling of female hysteria, suburban life & the American Dream. Idyllic facade of the town hides dark secrets & corruption, mirroring disillusionment with post-war American society. Themes of apocalypse & rebirth suggest cyclical nature of destruction & creation, adding to feeling of helplessness & hopelessness. Mesmerizing visual style employs distinct use of color, lighting, & set design (expansive murals, floating master bed) to create disorienting mood. Elegant execution of art direction contributes significantly to the film's unsettling impact, multilayered sound design enhances eerie atmosphere. "We sit in the sun & wait. We sleep & we dream. Each of us dying slowly in the prison of our minds."
