Woke but not the worst...
It's woke but not intolerable. Production did a good job in evoking the feel of an 80s slasher flick, albeit with a modern twist. There are graphic murders (expect an uptick of them in the media) but alas no boobies and less bush than a glacier. So, not very faithful to the source material... Damn. I dislike the writers' attempts to get us to sympathise with a murderous maniac mom or her mutant whelp but how else do you subvert the morality of the Western civilisation? Drip-feed us until we get desensitised and eventually hooked? Oh well, chivalry will be the first victim so I hope the writers are ready for the backlash. The anti-heroine MC is Shrodinger's single mom; both an empowered boss woman AND a victim at the same time. It's probably some man's fault that she goes postal but I haven't seen that far yet... Whilst all the 'baddies' are white male dummkopfs or snarky 'hoes', the competent male, romantic-lead is a patient and understanding black cop - so add miscegenation too. At least he doesn't indulge in ebonics. Oh, and his sister is the plucky reporter being held back... Yawn. Anyway, if it wasn't for the memories of the original, I'd never endure this tripe but as it is, I'm hoping for a cast TPK. But, like pumpkin-boy himself, it probably won't stay dead.
Even though nothing sexual happened and actresses actively denied the "lesbian sexual themes," it just doesn't feel right to me. Phoebe released the female ghost, and they almost kissed. According to the actress, these two female characters' relationship was like "Friends," and Phoebe "mentally connects" to the female ghost easily! They're both facing the same type of mental trauma; that's why they easily "connect." It just feels fishy to me. What if they actually make Phoebe a lesbo in the future?
Moral of the story: Don't time travel if you don't want a homo brother in the new timeline.
The movie was going good until it went to the "homosexuals are not evil" part.
The absolute state of people who come to power. Left/Right! They don't mean anything more. They're all corrupt or corruptable.
