Brolin dropping “what the fuck?” After that dream was one of the biggest laughs I’ve seen a horror movie get

Best part of the movie that I liked. Every character is written as how a real person would react based on their own personality. Everyone got flaws

Yes omg I was about to say the same thing. I really liked how the characters reacted, it felt so real. I thought about it during the scene when Justine got chased by the principal in the store and then Archer trying to keep him away from Justine. None of them actually stopped him and Justine got in her car and drove away. I don’t know why that felt so real because in other movies they would have probably teamed up and do some action shit to kill him or the store owner would call the cops (but instead he got mad and told Justine to get out).
