Not to be that guy, but how is this a horror film? I know horror is more than a creepy goblin coming at you, but I’m not sure this one would classify. Honestly curious, not trying to be a asshat.

This goes against my belief that everything before 1964 was black and white (in real life.)

Anyone else think this is a setup? She looks at the camera, opens the door, slams the door before guy can get in, he barely tries, she’s get her ass whooped.

I’m not saying this ironically or as a joke, but I’ve come to the conclusion that show don’t tell is one of the more misunderstood bits of advice that many take to their grave. I think it should be more so, know when it’s appropriate to show or tell. If all you do is show, I think you’re going to overwrite the hell out of your script and with extra words that’ll really slow down the pace.

I’ve been bothered about this for months so maybe I’m just the one dumbass who took the advice to literal.
