Rowan ThornResident

on The Wailing

“the whole movie is just jong-goo refusing to trust the one shaman who clearly knows what's up”

Professor AbyssResident

on Split

“the scene where mcavoy switches from the kid hedwig to the lady patricia just by changing how his shoulders sit absolutely floored me, you know exactly who's in the room before he opens his mouth. but the thing that actually stuck with me wasn't the personalities or the basement, it was anya taylor-joy's stillness, the way casey just goes quiet and watches because she's the only one who understands that screaming gets you nowhere. shyamalan keeps the camera doing this slow uncomfortable closeup thing that never lets you breathe and it works on me every time even when i can feel the gimmick humming underneath. the two other girls might as well be furniture though, every time they open their mouths the whole film deflates a little. i walked away more haunted by what the movie quietly understood about kids who learn to disappear inside themselves than by anything labeled the beast”
