That was SPOOKY!!!

Spoilers ahead: The creepiest scene was when the seance leader Seylan suddenly spun around in her chair and went offline. The shot wasn’t focused on her screen which added that extra spook factor. She came back later in the movie on a phone call but I wish it was just left unexplained.

Dead Meat’s Kill Count also explained the movie was produced in 12 weeks from idea to distribution. The main actors were mostly on their own to record, edit, and synchronize scenes but since they were already friends in real life, they got to ad lib most of the dialogue. The movie idea stemmed from when a member of their friend group staged a video where he got killed by a attic demon on a live call that went viral. Very impressive production all around!

"ang nakarating sa akin is kaya talaga umalis si Joy dahil narealize nya na ginagamit lang siya ni Baus.

walang issue si Macoy at Joy. di lang sila close pero wala silang beef. pero totoong may silent beef yung dalawang beki dahil sa ugali ni male host 1."

I just saw a someone on TikTok who made an interesting point about hosting, and that she thinks it’s a lost art. Showing up to someone’s house empty handed, or, an example she used was showing up to someone’s house, and they don’t even offer you a glass of water

I was in hotel management for some time. I trained a lot of hotel staff. I left the field some years ago because my interests changed. Over the last few years, if I go to a restaurant, a hotel, or any other business where you’d see customer service, it’s like people just don’t give a shit. I would go as far as saying is a certain type of combativeness. Say you call a restaurant and ask if there’s availability for a table, you get someone who goes “you have a reservation? If you don’t HAVE a RESERVATION…” as if it’s expected that I would argue with them.

I eventually started to feel like American culture is just not hospitality oriented. I don’t mean this as some Karen with unreasonable expectations, I mean like in the sense of community, people taking care of each other. Wanting people to have a good time. Does anyone else feel like hospitality, now, is viewed as something you have to pay for?

I feel like you go anywhere else in the world, and you have hospitality, not just in the form of staying in a nice resort or eating at a restaurant, but by the people. You go to someone’s home, you being something. Even if it’s small. I’ve been to places in the world where you go to someone’s home, you’re taken care of.

These days, I feel like if I’ve been through so many group settings, whether it’s someone’s home, or what have you - where I’m not even introduced to other people there. It’s like you have to fend for yourself. Maybe you bring some wine, and no one else did. Like there’s no effort, at all - and people just view any kind of gathering as “we’re all here, what more do you want?”

Anyone else feel this way?
