Metaphor beats allegory.

I think when things kind of chime against each other, they resonate with each other instead of they kind of line up.

And there's an effort at the very, very end to kind of line things up that I don't think the movie even wants to commit to.

I think that's a fake out.

I don't know.

My sense that this trauma nonsense is a recent phenomenon, I was thinking about it.

I don't think it is, right?

Horror works on a metaphorical level.

It always has.

Dracula means sex and Frankenstein means hubris and ghosts means unresolved issues.

Trauma, I guess you would call it, right?

And listen, if you're a person who doesn't like scary movies, this is not for you.

This is most resolutely not for you.

You'll spend your entire time looking at the lower left-hand corner of the screen just hoping nothing happens down there.

May or may not be how I...

Watch this movie.

Okay, that brings us to the end of our show.

Hard recommendation for Holcomb.

Jordan Cruciola, Monica Castillo, thank you so much for being here.

Exactly.
