The Pitters' Place

A few years ago someone here, or at least someone on IMDB, said that I should watch this movie. So I bought it a few years ago, and just now finally watched it.

Wow. Holy crap. I wouldn't say that it's amazingly good or anything, but it's so intense and haunting, which I like in movies. One of those movies that just left me sitting still through the entire credits in silence.

I find it interesting that they seemingly changed around a couple things to make it so that the religion in question iosnt just mainstream real-world Christianity, such as the whole thing about the pearl and "the boy." I guess ultimately the film is a statement against fundamentalism or religion in general. Though at the same time, in the movie, the Christians end up being right. I guess some poeple think that the ending is meant to be all just her going crazy and imagining all that stuff, but I feel like it makes more sense to just say that it was really happening.

Compelling, good, haunting. Worth a watch.

Oh, and I loved the silence during the end credits. Fit so perfectly. More movies (of this type) should do that.

Now I'm gonna watch something lighthearted to recover from that.

You people suck.

I'm gonna watch it.

sike!

Hm? What? Were you saying something?

I'm watching this movie right now. It better be everything you've promised it is, or I'll sue.

Ok. So Thomas Newman does the score, and I can already see that his music is responsible for a lot of the haunting feel of the movie.

Wow I hadn't realized that, but that explains a lot.

I fell asleep watching a couple times, but the movie is definitely a bit eerie. Especially the ending. Mostly because God basically turns out to be a sort of villain by the end
