fayanoraI just had a horrible experience. Woke up from a familiar nightmare that's going to sound weird until it sounds horrifying. It's about a movie where you meet a children's television celebrity similar to Mr. Rogers. I forget his name, but it doesn't matter. The point is, in the movie, he gets murdered and eaten. Now, this movie is like Jumanji in that you get pulled in, and you have to watch the whole thing unfold as if you're there. Then you become the next victim. You'll survive, but you still go through all the terror of being murdered.
Real catch is: you can either cooperate and have an easier death, or you can fight it tooth and nail and your death is much more horrifying and drawn out. But you *are* going to get unalived either way. With one exception: you are allowed to opt out if you get out of the house that is the first murder scene and to the designated safe point in time. The problem with this is that it's not easy to do that in the time provided. The house is complicated and mazelike, and the safe point is far from the house.
I said it was familiar, and it was. I just finished describing to you what happens with the first movie. What happens with the second movie is that it's a sequel. My character starts watching the movie unaware of what's going on, finds themselves drawn into the movie, and there's a woman in there who has also seen the movie but this is her second time. She enjoyed the first experience, which should be a red flag the size of Texas, but of course my character doesn't know shit about what's going on. After the children's TV celebrity is murdered, the woman gets aroused and they bang. They are mid coitus when they realize they got caught in the movie's second act.
Somehow the woman forgot about the second act, and she starts trying desperately to get the both of them out to the safe spot in time, but of course they wasted time banging at the first crime scene, and the movie is resisting them. The harder they fight, the worse their death is going to get. I feel, at this point, like the whole thing is familiar. Dunno if it really is or not, but the point is I feel at that point like I'm going to have to actually watch their gruesome murders, even though I didn't actually have to see the first murder of the movie.
So then *I* fight, and of course my brain interpreted this as this being a sequel where I have to watch all three of the murders before I get a chance to opt out, and the movie will not accept an early opt out. And I don't want to do any of that and it was tough forcing myself awake but I did it.
As horrifying as it was, I feel like this would make an amazing horror movie. Like Jumanji, but rated R for being a horror movie.
