Whoa! What a fucking head bender of a movie this was. It sucks you in right from the beginning and just gets more intense as it goes a long.
It does leave a lot of questions unanswered but it sure is worth the ride!

The gun over the house in that one scene was so weird and out of place.
In an interview with The Big Picture Zach Cregger said he just saw that shot in his head and really liked it and thought it worked well so they included it, wasnt really because of anything but I was curious as to what it meant also.
I thought that part was great, captured the vibe of that sort of dream and foreshadowed that character later developing a mental model of what was happening to the victims. Seemed like a realistic depiction of how dreams can be involved with how we process things where it seems like mysterious nonsense in the moment but comes together later.
Yeah that one lost me. I haven’t figured out the symbolism,.
Substance abuse.
Are you being facetious? A floating gun over is a symbol for drug abuse?
No, and they’ve been pretty explicit about this in every interview about it.
The sudden personality changes, the “monster” that takes over your psyche. Multiple characters also have addictions, some illegal, some socially acceptable.
Edit: sorry, early morning misread. The film was about substance abuse, Archer’s dream about the floating gun specifically had 2:17 which was when the kids were weaponised. It’s a dream couched in crazy dream logic about events.
The symbolism is the studio saying they dont want a school shooting allegory, or at least dont want it driven home so hard.
