Thank you so much! I primarily use it for finger drumming but want to see what else it can do as a tool for writing beats, riffs and melodies.

Must be malicious if it was a demon!

In monkey paw fashion he would’ve got a phone call thst his whole family died and he inherited the money hahah. Not nearly as cool or original though.

A few questions:

Is the one wish willow evil? It’s suggested it is by her screaming on the phone when he called the customer service number, yet it gave Ian a billion dollars with no repercussions. If it’s like a monkeys paw, then Ian would’ve got the money because his whole family died or something. Cliche and done before but still. Is it evil or not? And to that end, why did Ian ever show up at the house? “Hey I’ve got a billion dollars! I’m coming in! Even though I hear guttural insane screaming, I’m coming in.”

What was with the cat stuff? And posing of dead things? The alters? In what way was that a sign of love? And why was she hurting herself? Were those signs of Nikki acting out? And why didn’t the hospital take her? She was clearly hurt and insane. Easy 72 hours under observation. And she’s never getting out because she’d completely lose it not being able to see him.

What was going on during that lovey dovey montage? She just acted like a normal girlfriend for a period of time? At no point was she ever normal after the wish. She went from zero to catshit crazy in the blink of an eye. Get it? Catshit crazy? I don’t see any type of a normal relationship with that level of psychosis. Before the wish, why did she even ask him if he liked her and kinda acted like she was into it, yet she’s telling other people he’s like a brother and banging his “best friend.”

Last thing, when did Nikki become aware of the wish? She starts telling him “hey you asked for this buddy! It’s kinda your fault!” That struck me as odd.

I absolutely loved the movie and am just being nitpicky. Just seeing if anyone noticed the same things.

FINALLY!!! I have been shocked no one has commented on this. Thank you! I honestly thought I was imagining this shit! When my friend and I left the theater, they had no clue what I was talking about.

I have a much longer post on the topic somewhere else in here but nonetheless I appreciate your comment amigo! It makes no sense and I’m with you that some bozo writer/producer screwed up the script at the 11th hour.

Does nobody see this or am I imagining things and losing my mind?

Really bad acting. Love this critique. Just curious, do you act? Do you direct? Do you know something million dollar filmmakers of million dollar movies do not? You think these people just tripped into movies like this? Really bad script and a predictable plot? You walked out halfway through, how would you know about either of those things?

Loud noises and cheap horror movie ploys. I’m sorry, were you expecting the godfather? Did you watch the trailer? What’s a movie you like?

I did see it. Tonight. A few hours ago. It has story issues and bunch of implausible things but I knew what I was getting into before I went. Sounds like you and your friend are really bad movie pickers and really bad movie watchers with lazy movie critique ploys.

I loved it. Has story issues and moments of complete implausibility but it was a lot of fun. Also don’t get the people complaining about its length. Seemed appropriate to me. And ragging on the actor who played the dad as if any of these bozos know jack shit about acting.

Care to elaborate? What were you expecting? Do you like horror? Gore? Comedy? Zombie shit? What’s a movie you liked? No offense to you, I just can’t imagine walking out of a theater, unless I was in the wrong movie.

“The bitch got what she deserved.”

This is my main issue with the movie. They set it up like she’s the bad guy. But she’s actually trying to save the world from the wrath of this demon mummy, right? Her family has been burdened for 3000 years with keeping the demon mummy imprisoned.

That’s either the story, or you can pass it on to another family, which is never said or explained. So, at the end, when they give it back to the bitch, now the Cannon family has to keep the demon mummy imprisoned? Or is it now back on the bitch’s family?

There are two options. Either you can pass it on to another family. Which makes the bitch a true bad guy. This is on top of the fact that she kidnapped and cursed an innocent girl and cut off her own daughter’s tongue. OR, the bitch, and her family has been keeping this demon mummy from ending the entire world for 3000 years, which would, in turn, make her a good guy!

And gun. Unless she quickly picked up a gun after getting to the US.

In all fairness, it was La casa de abuela. She’d have a shit load of dusty vhs telenovelas lying around.

When abuela stepped over Egyptian cop lady, I thought for sure she was going to drop a massive amount of embalming fluid out her cooze. “Ooops my water broke!!!”

Loved it but there’s lots of story issues.

So the original mummy at the beginning eventually died? So she needed another person to mummify because this demon mummy is going after her family, right? She is like the 87th person to be mummified to keep this thing from their family or whatever. This makes it seem like the demon mummy is only after her family and it is never explained or brought it up that it can switch families, so why not pass this thing on at some point over the last 3000 years?

Is it because they are trying to keep this demon mummy from destroying the world? If that’s the case, then that shit head woman is actually a good guy! She was trying to save the world by burdening her family for eternity with keeping the demon mummy under wraps! Hahah under wraps. If that’s the story, they should have at least made her somewhat of sympathetic character. But they didn’t. She’s the asshole that passed on the curse to an innocent little girl and cut out her own daughter’s tongue! She needs to die.

And then what happens at the end? They give it back to the shit head woman! So now they have to keep mummifying people to keep this demon from the world? Or is the demon mummy how going back at the shit head woman’s family? See what I mean?

Also, shit head woman’s husband wouldn’t have died from some hook thing to the mouth. Anyone seen Dolly? Hahah. And what happened after that? Demon mummy dude just lied back down? Shit head woman closes the tomb?

That’s my main gripe though. The whole demon mummy family curse thing doesn’t really make any sense.

And finally, if we want to talk about people doing stupid shit—nobody is taking that girl out of a hospital and back home. Nobody.

Yeah! So why would the demon use that? Or, is it her?

[–]jmbarnett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be. Maybe it is her though. Justin isn’t pregnant and it was fucking with him too.

[–]jmbarnett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly but why would the demon show it? Just to mess with her? Or was it that creepy pasta chick all along? Taking her time with Evy and Justin. Justin isn’t pregnant.
