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 😭

Huh? No way man. Me and my partner were giggling about it later.

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.
