I'm not one who usually feels scared or terrified when watching any kind of film, but

Spoiler!

that ****ing bear in the house scene... Jesus Christ, it actually scared me. Or maybe it just stressed me out to a severe degree... IDK, but it was ****ing awesome. The "roar" or scream it has is obviously haunting and disturbing. And I can't tell you how happy I was during the final 30 minutes or so of the film. The audio may have given me an erection, and the visuals were absolutely stunning. I didn't care much for the hug/trippy irises at the end, but I understand that the books are a trilogy and it has to continue on somehow.

Mentally this had a similar effect on me as Mother! did, where I just sat for a few minutes in my seat after the credits, devoid of most thought just soaking up what I had seen.

The character's story is lacking, but overall it is an enjoyable film for sure. ****ing beautiful.

Your post inspired me to see both movies...and I agree. You do sit there for awhile as the credits roll trying to digest and comprehend what just happened. That's rare nowadays and I love it
