It could have been better if it leaned more into looking like found footage. The whole thing should have had more "VHS" style noise. It was too obvious it was a movie when they mixed actual older footage with noise with the movie shots. The back and white scenes to show the background footage should have been shaky cam footage to explain why we were getting those shots. We could already tell it was background shots it didn't need to be black and white. The guests could have talked over each other to seem like actual talk show guests.
It started off promising but then the tonal shifts were jarring and it ended without any sort of satisfying conclusion.
Maybe it's a horror because we're all laughing at someone having a mental breakdown.
Maybe it's a horror because we're watching a man commit rape and murder because he was rejected in high school and we think it's funny.
The movie is about grief
This wasn't bad, it just wasn't interesting.
As a reader of the original books, I don't like the changes to the characterizations. In my eyes, this isn't a Dune movie adaption, it's a fanfic.
The sounds of wailing women being the police siren sound was disturbingly beautiful.
Give the dog an Emmy!!!
Not knowing any background I don't know why we are cheering for the Count when it seems he was a "well born" rich guy that had his riches taken. Why do I care?
Formulaic but the voice acting for the animals is endearing. It also feels too long but some of the cuts and the narration shows that it WAS going to be longer so I appreciate that they trimmed it at least by how much they did.

The movie wasn't great but it's worth a watch for the outfits! :heart_eyes:
OKAYO NOOOO. I was BAWLING
You telling me the guy who wants gun control laws is the "bad guy" and the guy who wants to sell brain chip body controlling technology to the military is the "good guy"? Couldn't finish and won't finish.
This got real dark yikes
I have my little non paranormal theory. Keeping in mind that I have no exposure to the case of these missing people except this movie and the last one.
My theory is that the people are being hunted by other people - people with money.
Dogs can't find scent because the hunted are being targeted near water, to cover scent - that could be planned.
A theme that was mentioned about the people were that they usually had a disability/illness. They could prefer these people for the hunt so they don't get caught.
The cases in the film mention that that even though the hunted were older they were experienced hunters or fit or they knew the area - so they likely visited the locations multiple times and were known to the area, which could explain why they were targeted by the hunters in this theory.
Animals were ruled out because the hunted's equipment was usually moved or disappeared.
Why specifically people with money?
Hunting is a common pastime for the affluent. Money equals the means to be able to take time to plan hunts. It could explain how a cover up may have happened. One of the cases mentioned sudden fog for example - that could be man made fog so expensive equipment may be involved to plan hunts. Part of the hunt would be the getting away with it or the hiding it from suspicion. Regular serial killers would be ruled out because they usually kill for infamy or what their deeds to be known, or they kill to interact with the body in ~some way~.
There are multiple movies made about people with money hunting "regular people" for fun...
This probably won't fit all of the cases though.
I'm not crying, you're crying
Let me tell you, I was STRESSED while I was watching this. I was STRESSED.
Um... what the... justice for Heidi!!!

The short, which you can watch on YouTube, is far superior.
The music in this is beautiful.
Olivia did very well.
Let's go Dianne :fist:
Noooo Charles! You were too nervous.
Nirvali's song was so good!
Charles is right about the dating apps :(
I liked the listing of the background actors at the end of the movie! That was sweet, I would like to see that in more movies.
I recall the book left the ending open ended.
The absolute terror I felt watching this. I never want to watch it again
