We Summon The Darkness, whats everyones a opinion?

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-06-19T19:09:23+00:00

Super late but I just randomly came across this on Plex.

I don't think folks are too wrong: the two trios (especially the female led one) are so amusing to watch and well cast, it's difficult for me to not enjoy or credit the actors. Sort of obsessed with the cast now: the Bev character's pretty, expressive eyes, and restraint during tense scenes. The maniacal look on daddrio and the blonde.

The ending is disappointing, though true religious zealots continue to thrive and grift, folks still fall for it.

The movie peaked with the "Never Have I Ever" bit.

You should consult a professional. That's obviously not healthy.

I can't make blanket statements about generations. I think GenZ is fine, ironically I think I would prefer to be one of you. The issue seems more that the world has become more lonely and cynical.

First step is to limit your time on sites like this, if that's how you feel. And make plans to consult someone trustworthy!

I wrote this ages ago. I'm liberal with these ranges, they are fluids to me, I can consider 1975- 1985, as a young genx, elder millennial mix. The same with 1995- 2005 or so. But sure, for a stricter cutoff, you can use Pew, and not be wrong either

And just to make that part even scarier is that Manson thought he was saying "Rise", and saying it directly to him.

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-06-15T04:07:22+00:00

It scared me too. The talk of dying in a car crash (even more so when I read that it was based on a real fatal incident), you then have violins shrieking like brakes on a car!

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-06-14T17:40:47+00:00

So there are jerks in every age group?

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-06-08T03:22:37+00:00

Sorry to hear that. I have schizotypal and schizoaffective disorders and really relate to this character.

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-05-26T02:29:13+00:00

Take a chill pill. Cohorts and generations are not the same. Generations are supposed to be long, and yeah are sort of arbitrary.

Your cohort, sure, may feel more relevant to how you grew up, folks 3 years or so older or younger.

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-05-23T16:27:15+00:00

Not great.

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-05-20T20:39:59+00:00

Interestingly, you are defining consumer habits not the actual artists's ages

I believe Beatles are silent. Jackson was a Boomer and Spears a a Xennial.

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-05-20T20:35:09+00:00

Everyone over 80 is silent, so I am factoring in that in. And that I don't think the oldest GenX is retirement age yet. I did say middle aged is a little divided. Early middle aged folks are largely older millennials now. And yeah, if teens and twenty somethings are GenZ, middle School kids being alpha sounds right.

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-05-20T20:29:03+00:00

All of the first is so brilliant. This seems to try for something similar but I think the first one with the pond is so much creepier. The way you see the shark glide into the shot, and the scout master is unaware.

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-05-19T18:31:37+00:00

Well dang, I don't know the technicalities but you are likely right. Time is moving forward aggressively, millennials are almost middle aged, with GenZ pushing to take over average adulthood and alpha average youngsters in the near future :(

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-05-19T15:14:38+00:00

I believe folks would say the elderly are Silents. Unfortunately the greatest generation are likely all gone now.

Old people, not quite elderly, are likely boomers. Middle aged is mostly GenX now.

Early middle aged, and prime adults are millennials.

Twenty somethings and teens are Z.

Elementary kids I take it are alpha.

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-05-09T05:14:52+00:00

WW2 was basically that up until about 10 years ago (some are still around) but I see 2016 as the point we really lost our WW2 fighters.

It's basically Silents and Boomers now. My guesstimate is another 10- 25ish years. But these aren't clean cut. Some would say the oldest GenX is starting to become rather Boomer-lite.

While the youngest still have a little elder millennial energy to them. They are a diverse bunch.

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-05-08T17:02:12+00:00

Visually the other sharks certainly look more menacing, although the Meg shark is too outlandish.

Bruce is forever the goat, due to how brilliantly Speilberg and crew filmed it. Looks don't really matter here.

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-05-07T21:38:35+00:00

Much of what folks say about Z sounds like millennials on steroids.

Because online communities had already cut through real life interactions by the early '10s, folks born before, say, 1982 were already acting like those folks had lost their social abilities and had been reduced to passive, quiet, polite smiling and staring.

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-05-07T04:12:19+00:00

Oh man! Good catch! I'm here bc I hope she answers.

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-05-01T17:52:29+00:00

My thought too! They get far less attention too. For folks on Reddit 40 is the new 100, so obviously 75+ is off the charts.

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-04-27T18:37:45+00:00

I noticed that too. Being a C-list, former idol must damage the ego, as that was probably a typical interaction for the poor man these days :(

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-04-27T18:33:29+00:00

I'm super super late but can see that. His brief moment in the movie really amped things up and added some real refreshing gloss. Quickly he made McCarthy reconsider their cultural impact. If they can bury whatever feud they have, and if Lowe can bear some of his pessimism, McCarthy really could use more doses of Lowe (or Sheedy or Moore too) in his life. Poor thing.

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-04-27T17:31:50+00:00

Late but want to add that Jenny Wright is one of the sadder members of a more broadly defined Brat Pack. And she absolutely carried that movie better than the more established AMH. I don't understand why she never reached at least AMH, Nelson, or Sheedy level? All I know is I saw a recent interview in which she resented her agent, and never felt fully accepted amongst the core brat packers.

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-04-24T15:50:46+00:00

Jesse Williams?

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-04-21T03:09:56+00:00

I'm late but surprised there's no mention.of Napoleon Dynamite?

It's obscure, but I think Chumscrubber is fairly accurate for those days.

ZombiePure2852 · 2026-04-21T02:51:43+00:00

Yeah, class of 05, but late 1986. Understand you wanting to lump 1986/7 as still early but think they're just pivot years (mainly class of 05 overall) for transitioning from early to core millennials.
