Expected more bizarre horror.
After that synopsis I think I expected something more wacky. As someone who went into the lore clueless, with no prior knowledge of the source material, maybe my expectations were misplaced.They dropped the masterpiece of popcorn with pigeons scenes so early on, everything that followed seemed so… mid. That said, the concept of the curse was extremely interesting - a curse that does not necessarily bring you pain and misfortune, but makes you actively avoid happiness.
The performances were great. Somehow even the overacted moments perfectly fitted whatever scene was happening on the screen.
For the production - while the movie looks stunning, I cannot move past the fact that at least partially the soundtrack was “composed” by AI.
Overall, I guess I expected more? It for sure leaned more towards slow paced dark fantasy, rather than exaggerated horror.
