This completely slipped under my radar until the other day I was listening to a movie podcast and they were praising it. This was really good and original. It's a PG-13 horror, but that didn't matter at all. Not gory at all, but full of suspense and interesting scenes. Kaitlyn Denver puts in a strong performance, despite only having a couple lines. Actually, there's almost no dialogue in the entire movie, which is a little gimmicky, but didn't hurt the movie at all. It's basically about a woman who lives alone and her home gets invaded by aliens and she has to defend herself. There's a lot more going on but I don't want to give it away. I hope some of you have watched it and join the discussion. I found it very enjoyable.

Thanks! So I'll say if we're doing evil advanced aliens we better see what you bring to the table with interesting alien technology! And I don't think they disappointed

!the different ways the tractor beam was used was awesome, felt like I was in Destroy All Humans lol. Both against her (the battle pot getting bent in half against the way, holding her in place as the alien shows off it's tentacle ball) and in her favor (snapping the possessing guys back, bruh). I was a little confused by the parasites purpose, I get controlling the humans but we see it crawl out of the first alien too, I guess that implies they're being controlled too but there's no real direction I see that thread went unless it's just supposed to be a hidden extra scifi bodyhorror detail. I really didn't mind the no talking thing either, I get it has some small hitches but it makes sense given most of the story is her alone, makes her feel alien to the world + she doesn't have to talk to herself during the attacks I thought they blended the practical effects well, and they aliens look solid for being cgi. I'm sure there's plenty little green men movies out there but this is is the first I've seen donit in a mostly "grounded" way, has some war of the worldsiness but makes the most of its compact movie areas!<

Lol, I don't know what the point of asking how to do spoiler tags when you just used Reddit's version anyway, which doesn't work here.

That being said. I loved the tractor beams as well, especially the red one on the ceiling. Yeah, they don't really explain the parasites motivations, but it still worked for me.

I realized the lemmy app I'm using has a spoiler tag hotkey, seemed like it worked for me 🤷 does the > ! ! < like you said to do. Did it not work on your end? Maybe I'll let the dev know...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah, the apps don't show up the same as the default Lemmy web version as far as I know.

I didn't say to do this. I said:

That is how Lemmy's markdown is done. You can see the formatting on this page. Looks like you're using Sync and yeah the spoiler hotkey is how Reddit did it. It works in the app but doesn't on Lemmy's website and probably some other apps.
