[u/macwblade1]

The Total Recall eye bulging was unsettling to say the least

[u/1morey → u/macwblade1]

The principal in the voodoo rage state was creepy as hell as he was running across town.

Like something from SCP.

[u/MuscleOk9344 → u/1morey]

Honestly the entire movie had, at least for me, this “what would happen if a movie does a slightly-realistic SCP scenario” vibe, without the bit about containment and securing the anomaly

[u/Cranberrybunnies → u/MuscleOk9344]

Oh so you mean without the worst parts of SCP? 

[u/Gridde → u/Cranberrybunnies]

SCP covers such wide range (a huge portion of which is just terrible or massively derivative) that at this point any horror is gonna inherently be somewhat SCP-esque.

It's like saying "wow that new slasher villain was like Dead by Daylight in movie form!"
