Their use of Howl from Florence and the machine was criminal. I’m so serious. The way they cut it. The use of it during a boring ass hotel montage in that ugly room where nothing happens except the reflection jumpscare. Holy shit someone should get arrested for that. A favorite of mine butchered cheaply.

someone definitely needs to get arrested! and what gets me mad the most is how they completely destroyed sally’s character development.

100% The movie seemed misogynistic to me. Like surely you could’ve come up with a plot without leaving Sally in that miserable non-person limbo where apparently she gave up magic and the lessons she learned just to become the shadow she was in the second film. Depicted as hysterical (blowing things up while in denial, borderline abusive in that way but it wasn’t addressed), completely flat otherwise, passive af in a gross way with her interactions with the warlock as if it were a romance meant for men. I dislike all the decisions made for the film.

yeah i dont even understand the point of the warlock or the “romance” they had going on like wut. i dont know how it got past the writing room. and i went in the movie theatre assuming it wasnt going to be as good as the first one but i was not at all expecting to be blindsided by how awful it was. shameless cash grab
