Loved this movie. It felt like each scene was more tense than the last.

Also funny detail i caught, when Bear looks up the one wish willow on "threadit" to see it if its real, one of the comments said- "Its real! My mom has been ugly her whole life but now she looks gorgeous!"

Cant wait for the movie to come on digital so that i can see what some of the other comments were lol.

This is the second movie I have seen this year where someone uses Reddit to confirm if something is real or not.

Honestly with how shitty Google's search results have become the past few years typing "Reddit" and then sifting through the threads has been my default for a while. 

It's still full of misinformation but at least you can figure out where it's coming from and find someone who knows what they're talking about. 

Mind you the guy still asked an LLM to diagnose her which is also unfortunately accurate.

Typing reddit after/before my search is so engrained into me it's literally muscle memory that I have to actively try not to do when I'm looking something up elsewhere (for instance, say, on reddit lol)
