neutral · AI labelView post →Is "There's Something Wrong with the Children" a great movie? Obviously, no. But it is about the bitter war between parents and their childfree friends, and for this, I recommend it: jude-doyle.ghost.io/the-parent-t...
positive · AI labelView post →What did you guys see this weekend? Any gems?. I actually went on a tear this weekend. The new Mission Impossible movie was my theater viewing. It delivered on everything I expected it too, and even managed a few surprises. I watched *Evil Dead Rise* which weirdly kinda worked as a proper Evil Dead movie. I tend to put most of my horror film watches in the guilt category as they rarely transcend their genres and are so often just schlock, but I can enjoy a film in almost any genre. If you…

neutral · AI labelView post →There's Something Wrong With the Children (2023) Review: The interpersonal drama is interesting & engaging, then the actual plot happens. It's all a little bit silly & doesn't really go anywhere fun. Overall it just feels like a meditation on why having kids sucks, which is a choice.😄 7/10
neutral · AI labelView post →I just put on a shitty looking movie on Amazon called "There's Something Wrong With the Children." It's starting out with a slow motion montage of kid's playing while "More" by Sisters of Mercy plays over it so it seems to me that the kids are very much alright???
neutral · AI labelView post →Hello, my name is Cynthia and I will be live-posting my reactions to There's Something Wrong With the Children all evening, for the benefit of perhaps three readers. First thought: weak script. Exposition shoehorned into dialogue, names dropped into conversation way more than real people talk./1
negative · AI labelView post →We're slowly working down a list of recommended horror films from a friend. I very much enjoyed There's Something Wrong With The Children despite its reviews everywhere being fairly terrible. That said, one review I read said it got one star for not having "cool effects" so I think maybe that opinion can be discarded. Parents might find it a difficult watch in a couple places, fair warning. We also watched Men which was a beautiful, surreal and effectively unsettling two thirds of a film…

To make matters worse, it involves children & a mysterious cave. Stream: MGM+ & Prime #HorrorDirectedByWomen #DomesticHorror
neutral · AI labelView post →That's so blatant it's crazy. I don't know if you ever saw the movie There's Something Wrong with the Children or not? They basically took the Mexican movie Here Comes the Devil's story and copied it without labeling it a remake. I'm not a big fan of either but still lol.

negative · AI labelView post →There's Something Wrong with the Children: B-. Did a good job with creepy kids overall. "Bugs" as the supernatural theme misses me a little bit. The end kind of missed it.

negative · AI labelView post →There's Something Wrong With The Children - had some promise, but ended up being so dumb. Infuriating that they promised an interesting monster and showed nothing. Not to mention badly written characters. The only thing that was believable was the characters hated each other. 2/5 #horrormoviebinge

positive · AI labelView post →#ZachGilford is one of those actors who seems to very vulnerable that I want to wrap him up in a soft comforter. In #TheresSomethingWrongWithTheChildren, he’s just so tiny and soft and no match for them at all.
