Counted the jumpscares in Mudborn. Lost count. Lost interest. Refunded the popcorn emotionally.
“The tomato's grin says it all.”

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Mudborn?
Rewatched Mudborn last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Unpopular opinion: Mudborn is the most overrated film of the decade
Director clearly thought Mudborn was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Mudborn?
Honestly, Mudborn would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Hot Take: Mudborn's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Everyone praising the Mudborn performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
