katie_wilson_6055 shared a tip "I liked this, but felt like they could have done more with the story. Why would it be a never-ending cycle? How does that benefit the aliens?"

seth_flanders shared a tip "Very trippy and I love the ending how the characters act reminds me of people in the Holocaust (not a movie the real event) and actions of the people in the the book “Night” by Elie Wiesel."

samantha_blizzard shared a tip "This movie was so bizarre but stayed true to its paradox theme. It’s stuck with me far longer than I expected and has deep undertones that leave you feeling like crap afterwards, but in a good way."

another_yegian shared a tip "Great film. Metaphors are pretty blunt but worth some thought. I'm sorry but I find these types of films * comedic as well as thought provoking; in that the tragedy shines a light on the absurd aspects of human life, at which we can only really choose to laugh or despair. #greatacting #greatdirecting #hiddengem * other recommendations The Double , The Bothersome Man, Darken ..."

emma_birchmeier shared a tip "So this was very thought provoking. And it leaves you with a chill down your spine. It was freaky. I’m a huge fan of sci fi, but this pushed my boundaries. It was very well created, and the premise is unique and intriguing. If you liked the movie “don’t worry darling” you’ll like this. I definitely don’t recommend watching it alone, it will freak out out lol. But I still recommend it none the less"

rat_9991 shared a tip "This is one of my favorite movies. It's not really a "horror", more of a thriller or mindf*uck movie with horror/unsettling elements, but this movie is just soo good! (especially if you walk in not trying to be scared) I also 100% recommend watching this movie twice cause there's so much you get from coming back and watching it again. I could genuinely gush about how fantastic it is and all the possible symbolism and how the science/could/ work but I literally don't have space lol, watch it!"

kay_6180 shared a tip "Very unsatisfying was my family’s conclusion. The movie is full of mystery but no answers are given or clever, unexpected surprises revealed. The movie is exactly what you would expect from the trailer without having to think much beyond the tropes. It’s a good movie to have in the background, but not necessarily a must see."

christinakelton shared a tip "I'm not normally a fan of weird fiction, but there is a lot going on beneath the surface of this film. It has to be watched with metaphor in mind. After each of my several viewings, I uncovered things I hadn't noticed before. This was my chosen film for an essay for a college course in literary analysis, because there was so much to unpack."

callie_callie_j. shared a tip "A disturbing film with even some empathetic moments. It is high on building, psychological horror centered around sc-fi. The acting is also superb from everyone. It's like a sci-fi version of The Shining. Extra note: I'm CURRENTLY watching it as I type this and I think I have the ending partly figured out because of what's going on, but it will be interesting to see how this plays and out and see if I'm right."

callie_callie_j. shared a tip "A disturbing film, with empathetic moments, that is centered around sc-fi. The horror builds nicely in this nightmare and the acting is superb. It is like a sci-fi version of The Shining. Extra note: In currently watching this as I type, so by how things are going I think I've partly figured out the end. It will be interesting to see how the rest of this plays out and to see if I'm correct!"

http.christina shared a tip "Still not sure how i feel about this movie... there were some parts towards the end that left questions unanswered, but i still couldn’t manage to stop watching it the entire time. Great visuals, definitely creepy, but the ending didn’t leave me quite satisfied."

starchild992 shared a tip "This was garbage. Thought it would be good but the story ended up being extremely predictable and bland. Doesn't tell you anything about the aliens, no real plot or twists, waste of an hour and a half of my life."

laura_perez_9003 shared a tip "Oh my god. I never want to watch this again but I’m glad I’ve seen it. I love Jesse eisenberg. This movie is crazy and the end was shocking."

punkscience shared a tip "This is actually creepier than the description would suggest and despite being completely incomprehensible, it is compelling to watch just for the visual beauty and direction."

ana_christy shared a tip "This is a strange but enticing movie. It grows on you. One keeps needing to watch more and more, and when you're afraid that it's going to be a waste of time the plot engrosses you, and carries you to a surprising ending. I do recommend this movie, and to keep it in mind if you ever check out real estate to live in that is tract housing!"

amy_bell_83 shared a tip "Just the right amount of weird and creepy, exploring a plot of a couple visiting a vacant housing development they can't seem to leave."

sweetclove shared a tip "I really loved the themes of this movie. I felt like they were executed in a scary yet simple way that’s easy for the audience to understand. The horror of living in suburbia without being able to escape, raising a child you don’t want, trapped with a partner who is slowly distancing themselves leaving you to deal with the madness on your own is all very overwhelming. To me, this was a genuinely good horror movie. You should give it a watch if you’re interested in alternate dimensions as well!"

kaylafoat shared a tip "this is a great movie with superb directing, but it leaves you feeling somewhat empty inside. i came for jesse eisenberg and stayed for flipping off the word alien kid"

emilychase shared a tip "Just weird, not very deep but I enjoyed it, fiance didn’t enjoy it as much. Worth tossing on but likely won’t be your new all time favorite. Definitely a unique storyline"

courtney_kiefer shared a tip "It’s not your typical movie at all, it just makes you sort of think and feel weird I guess? I wouldn’t say I love this movie, but would say it is one you should watch if you’re into psychological horror."

adam_jensen_5472 shared a tip "This movie completely messed with my mind. Just when you think there is hope, this movie manages to pull the carpet out from underneath you."

clockwork_canary shared a tip "It's unsettling atmosphere will ensure you never feel totally prepared for what comes next, and you'll always find yourself questioning what you just saw. It can be a bit confusing at times, but in a good way. If you like movies that feel just a little different, give this one a try."

jennifer_sugg shared a tip "Has some strong Beetle Juice vibes but only creepier. This has been on my recommended watch list for about a year but was resistant bc Jessie Eisenberg is a mediocre actor at best but the plot and set design outweigh any mediocre acting. If you’re into medical herbal supplements while watching movies, you’ll probably like this movie."

hard_freckles shared a tip "I would say this movie is more psychological than science fiction. This movie will stick with you. My boyfriend and I watched this about a year ago and we still talk about how haunting it is. It’s a mundane real-life nightmare come to life."
