What was your favorite moment from Vivarium (if you have one, that is)?
-
You're over analyzing it. This movie was about how real estate agents are made.
-
The shot of all the same houses with the single one having “help” on the roof instills some sense of primal dread in me. The fake clouds also make me feel some sort of instinctual, deep fear.
-
The screaming of the child alone is something that was so wild in this movie. It was maddening as a viewer, I can't even imagine being unable to escape it.
-
Shit is terrifying when the alien boy just lifts up the concrete, showing how he only has access to the fabric of the world and how malleable it is.
-
What I liked the most was how the girl tries so hard to find out what is happening and gets a very brief grasp on it, just to die. It really cements the pointlessness of their struggle, it's like a goldfish trying to flee his aquarium.
-
Did anyone else get chills/genuinely freaked out by the neighborhood in general, like it really reminded me of the scenery from The Cat in the Hat (I’m being fully serious, it made me extremely uncomfortable).
-
The movie felt like a nightmare. The false/ surreal nature of it was so weird. I thought that one of the most terrifying parts was when Gemma ends up forming somewhat of a bond with it.
-
This movie is pure dread. I don't get why it is reviewed negative by most people. I think the missing background of the creatures and the purposelesness of their existence adds to the dread. They simply exist and reproduct, killing humans in the process. And by doing so they are a perfect mirror how we act on this planet and with the beings around us.
-
9 may have been chosen instead of 8 because the path taken to draw a 9 has a specific starting point, but then curves back on itself and becomes trapped in a loop.
-
i enjoyed this film a lot. it’s honestly so scary to me, a teenager, feeling this existential dread of finally meeting the monotony of adulthood. i don’t understand why people LOATHE this movie, i find the lack of real answer or purpose to be exactly the point, just like you said.
-
This movie has stuck with me more than any other recent horror movie I've ever seen. It almost has a sense of cosmic dread.
-
First time i saw the film.. The endless labyrinth of houses terrified me, not because of the creatures in it but more about the fact that there no escape besides death.. the slow creeping wait for death
-
I didn't realise this film had attracted so much dislike. Sure, it was flawed, but on the whole I really enjoyed it.
-
First spirals, now loops. Waiting to see which geometric concept gets horrorized next.
-
the aspect of the food having no flavor was an element that scared me so horribly. im very passionate about food and i cant even imagine a life where the food has no flavor and its all just prepackaged lumps of nothing, made in the shape of food. this whole movie wrapped its grubby little fingers around my fear of just surviving.
-
After watching this movie I started hating Cuckoo birds.
-
The number 9 is a message in and of itself. It has a loop with a line going away. And a solid understanding in sigils shows the message to be, “break the cycle.”
-
I just watched the movie yesterday, and I think your interpretation is pretty bang on. I think some reviewers try to find deeper meaning in this movie, but I think the point is very simple: We are seeing a human version of the cuckoo life cycle. I think that's pretty much it.
-
this movie reminds me of scene where squirdward move to the real estate looping the same thing everytime
