I’ve heard that you needed to prepare for it. ---

I had never even heard of it until last night. 😬 I will check it out though. ---

Just watched the trailer. 😲 ---

The trailer is creepy but I certainly didn’t think, “Hey, I wanna see that!” when I saw the trailer. A good friend who watches every nominated film (she works for a media outlet) said that it was, indeed, mind blowing. ---

I thought it was a great movie. It wasn’t mind blowing throughout but there were scenes where I was like “so you are just gonna throw that out there. Well alright then.” ---

I had never heard of it until it won all the awards. I would like to see it though. ---

It was a good, entertaining movie. ---

One of the best movie’s I’ve seen. Also watched some reviews on its cinematography, apparently it’s top notch too - the imagery (stairs going up and down to resemble the class system, the direction the rain water is going, the kid’s water-proof tent vs flooding, the exact moment when the tone of the movie changes - around the 50% mark, the peach allergy scene), all done to perfection. ---

I thought it was a good movie. Not gonna lie though I was expecting a radically different movie than what it was, but it was good all the same. ---

Haha that’s fair. I was kind of expecting a horror movie about an actual parasite. Despite some dramatic moments I don’t think I’d call it a horror movie and there weren’t any bug-like parasites. ---

> [@NormalDan](#): > > Despite some dramatic moments I don’t think I’d call it a horror movie Well, it’s a horror movie because it accurately depicts how people are actually living in S Korea right now. (and most asian cities). and there’s some blood. also the guy emerging from the basement and the boy fainting is pretty scary. ---

about midway through i thought it was one of those great movies that come around every 5 yrs or so. Great directing, acting, and story. After the ending… mind blown ---

just before, when they were enjoying themselves while the family was away
