The Overnight (2022)
GREAT Music...Movie made a lot more sense the second time
At first, I was left scratching my head. Didn't understand how the different elements of the plot connected, especially the death loops. But I loved the music and it looks like the soundtrack isn't out yet, so I decided to watch it again. Full disclosure: a friend of mine knows somebody who worked on the movie so I decided to buy it on Amazon based on their recommendation.
So I decided to give it another shot. On second viewing, I noticed many more details than I had the first time. I would strongly recommend listening closer to the background sounds. If you pay attention, there are so many clues that pop out early on. For instance, when they walk into the antique store, the background music repeats later on in the hotel. It plays House of the Rising Sun. The lyrics mention "baby sister" and that ties into the plot with the hotel owner's possessed twin sister he's been trying to save.
The other thing was the stalker guy. He picks Jessie up in a white taxi when she escapes the hotel the first time, and on the second watch I realized that there is the same white car following them when they are driving to the hotel. The way they set up the creepy doll thing seems to be a red herring at first, which it turns out it really isn't. It plays a role, but not in a supernatural way. The stalker picks it up, follows them, and if I'm guessing puts it in the road on purpose to stop Jessie and her boyfriend David from making it to their destination.
I'm not sure if the stalker knows anything about the hotel, but there are some details that suggest he might have a connection to the caretaker Salim. Seriously, none of this made ANY sense the first go-around. I am so glad I watched it again.
One thing that bothered me the first time was the acting. It's a bit too "thespian" at times, and I can see how that would annoy people. Second time, it didn't bother me as much. I picked up on more of the jokes, the little details in the dialogue that indicate not all is that it seems.
It's not that scary, but it's got some creepy scenes with mostly Emma and the stalker dude. Creepiest scenes are somehow the funniest though. I would highly recommend watching it twice. I hope they put the music out on Spotify soon.
Halloween (1978)
One of the BEST Horror Movies Of All Time
This will always be my favorite Halloween movie of the franchise. Watch it, you won't regret it. Of all the slasher films that followed, this will always be the one with the best music, best use of quiet moments. The jump scares are so much different than the jump scares of the day. Varying from slow and methodical, to quick and unexpected. Whether you see Michael coming from a mile away, the idea of someone lurking in the shadows at any given moment is terrifying. I have seen this film at least 100 times in my life, and I am still blown away by how much *********** fate especially shocks me. The build up and use of silence and tension with John Carpenter's is pure genius. 10/10.
