it's really me, just not using this acc yet until tumblr users become the death of me
bloodlines is really funny, most effective splatstick since 2, errs on too self aware tho. new gimmick is super fun and a lot of good will is bought by having the survivors have a reason to be warm to each other for once.

they took a hit.
November 26, 2025 at 7:27 AM
it felt clinical to me in a way I struggle to articulate, and 3 also had a twist villain among the survivors and I liked him more

best kills:

1. tanning bed
2. the teacher's entire house basically
3. spaghetti
4. gymnastics
5. air bag. idk it caught me off guard
November 26, 2025 at 7:15 AM
on bloodlines now, the pattern has held.
November 26, 2025 at 6:06 AM
gymnastics is top 5 tho
November 26, 2025 at 4:16 AM
3 spoiled me with the tanning salon scene actually accounting for the owner being able to hear them

also 2 separate deaths that rely on someone being left alone in a compromised position by staff responsible for them. justice told me death lures them away with their favorite candy bar & they're like "oo one sec"
November 26, 2025 at 3:48 AM
record number of deaths that just kinda arbitrarily torture the person with things that aren't really instrumental in the death, like that one scene had me frozen with stress but it was all just to compromise her so she slips and falls out a building, like just spill hot coffee on her at that point

5 is ok. I like the focus on more squeamish relatable pains like small sharp objects, dismemberment is a bit of a distant concept for me.

a man chooses

and maybe that's fine, like gyo is a horror manga that just validates one specific unrealistic fear, but final destination is so attuned to realistic anxious thought patterns where plausible problems stack up to catastrophe, & then 4 is like "also what if there was a shark in the pool"
November 26, 2025 at 1:44 AM
these movies have value to me as OCD exposure therapy, they're catastrophization movies. but the point of catastrophization is that every link in the chain is plausible, if there's too much of a leap it's just like "well that wouldn't happen"

she would have let a child die and his living family would think they lost another family member to music and purposefully forget about him just like we have already seen them do. miguel has no relationships outside his family & he'd disappear in like 20 years
November 26, 2025 at 1:36 AM
imelda has the ability to save miguel from certain death for the entire movie btw. if there was no twist she'd have let a child die in front of her
November 26, 2025 at 1:31 AM
oh I almost forgot the fucking metal bathtub in a hospital room directly above a patient on life support. death isn't in 4, they just died of criminal negligence
November 26, 2025 at 12:41 AM
i don't think death is even an agent in 4, like it's not unlikely accidents brutalizing people it is just a world that is designed to kill u
November 26, 2025 at 12:37 AM
i do not want to be asked questions with complex nuanced answers on a twitter
November 26, 2025 at 12:23 AM
gonna watch 5 today
November 26, 2025 at 12:13 AM
jack saint used 3 seconds of guardians of the galaxy footage in his oz video and i was reminded all at once of the dumbass teenage crush i had on rocket when that movie came out
