esther: in case you haven’t noticed, i'm weird. i’m a weirdo. i don't fit in. and i don't want to fit in. have you ever seen me without this stupid choker? that's weird.
if i adopted a murderous russian demon orphan who made horrifying pervert blacklight art and dressed like a haunted victorian doll i would simply love, support, and cherish her forever
closing out halloween with one of the most genuinely deranged modern horror films and a personal favourite. there's obviously a great history of horror about gaslighting and parental anxiety but this is the one that makes me the most viscerally queasy. for material like this the performances and craft alone are impressive (collet-serra brings some incredible cross-cutting and camera moves) but im most taken with how it just leans full-throttle into its nastiest, trashiest impulses including a never-ending onslaught of perverse child endangerment/violence setpieces that are so beyond poor taste i can't help but respect that they made it into the final movie and warner brothers agreed to release it.
esther thee orphan was SO rude and violent i'm fckn obsessed!! like she had no qualms bludgeoning nuns or breaking girls legs or burning little boys alive. all she wanted was some dick. i actually loved this so much. daddy issues are sexy!!! now manifesting an Orphan Girl Summer
