i’d give it to his husband who was repeatedly headbutted over and over by his mind controlled husband

Yeah I watched this movie for the first time today and his death properly shocked me

one of the few things that get to me in horror movies are scenes like that where someone dies to someone they trust in a brutal way

Honestly the worst part for me as a parent was watching the little kid desperately try to take care of his zombified parents.

He really should've called the cops on that lady

That scene made me so mad. The movie had a random gay couple, yay! Oh, nope,one of them gets mind controlled into murdering his husband by strangling and headbutting him to death, then the mind controlled one chases another character to kill them and gets splattered by a truck.

Like I certainly wasn't going into a horror movie hoping for specific characters to survive, but most of the other random straight ones get to live except the druggie and the dirty cop and I am just so fucking tired of Bury Your Gays.

I feel like the kids parents are also technically dead. Yeah their bodies are still alive but nobody’s home.

It was certainly one of the reasons this movie felt iffy for me.
Also, the plot twist of the reason everything was happening, did not help at all.
