The Horror of Lucas Films Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I wonder if it has a chance at getting good reviews? The trailer is quite solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 This looks like crap. Would rather watch Gentlemen, Last Full Measure, or even Dolittle to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxofficerules Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Has anyone seen this yet? You’d normally have some reviews on letterboxd by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you disrespect The Gentlemen and Last Full Measure by grouping them with Dolittle. Shame on you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said "or even" Dolittle, just to make sure they're not counted in the same category 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure people have seen it but if there is an embargo then not sure they can say much anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it has a chance, Universal probably ignores it...lol This movie is getting dumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Completely shocked that Finn wasn’t able to get some of the Stranger Things fans to watch this especially since its PG13 cause the tracking thread....YIKES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit early to tell. But even adult TV stars in general have always found it difficult to get (lead) roles in successful movies. So nobody expects kids to carry blockbusters. If RDJ couldn't help Dolittle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Yeah, TV stardom has always been difficult to translate to movie stardom. But no one's gonna hold the failures of the movies against the Stranger Things kids at all because they're, well, kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze Heatnix Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I watched the trailer again and I still don't get why doesn't the girl simply leaves the house, once weird stuff starts happening... The whole thing looks dumb and badly planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Horror of Lucas Films Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Nobody's blaming them for the failure of these movies, we're just saying that there isn't a correlation between popularity in internet and in the real life. As @Krissykins would say, those teen fanbases are loud, but cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB33 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Just ordered a book containing two Henry James novellas, The Turn of the Screw and In the Cage. Looking forward to reading the former specifically and getting to know the basis of this film. Can't help but feel, even with the existence of The Innocents, that a straight up adaptation of the story would have been better than this modern take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze Heatnix Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 No reviews yet...Bad marketing // promotion. Wow, is the movie really that bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze Heatnix Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 There's a fresh review on RT now ( guy probably broke the embargo ). He's a top critic who also gave a fresh review to The Grudge, so that probably doesn't mean much. Other than that, movie is invisible.

It's a film that was supposed to come out last February and the studio could have rescheduled it for anywhere but they chose to stick it in January. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxofficerules Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Reviews are pretty poor so far. From what I can gather, the narrative is incoherent and the ending is confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
