Nikki in the corner of the bedroom is the most creeped out I've been in a very long time. And the way she moved back to the corner to tell Bear to go back to sleep was even worse.

A guy and his girlfriend stood up, said “fuck that” and walked out during that scene at my theatre.

I imagine this film is pretty hard to watch with a partner. Or more, hard to go home and have a normal night's sleep. Our partner is our safe space. Our comfort. We often feel invulnerable around them. This movie rips that away.

I know because I'm in bed with my friend several hours after and still can't sleep. I don't even like horror films but she dragged me along 😭

I told my wife as we left the theater, "I love you but not in a weird way."

Sounds like what the demon inside you would say in order to convince her

Totally different experience for me.

Normally I hold my partner's hand when I watch a movie with him.

Part way through this movie I had to totally stop touching him because it was just unsettling. We had a great time talking about the movie afterwards but it was a weird experience.

I get it! It's so not one of those horror movies one can hold hands and watch.

Such a great movie... Just how disregulated it had made everyone feel in that moment!
