uh everything? everything.

i love how it captures both comforting winter and uneasy loneliness of the midwest - it gets to the core of how despairing inherent loneliness can feel perfectly even when there's seemingly ppl around you who love you. kat's parents not directly being given traits so you don't know if they're loving or distant or bad or just. her parents. is nice. that level of disconnection can be so irrational and her attaching herself to the demon further shows that. the whole idea of allowing yourself to be possessed versus it being forced upon you, so you can have anyone who won't leave you even at great cost is such a crazy good idea. her doing the same awful things the demon does to get it back but it being too late, that it either can't come back or has moved on to another vulnerable target... that she just severed both her only chance at someone who treated her well and put that final nail in her own coffin and she knows it.... just masterful from start to finish.

kiernan shipka is just also a phenomenal actress she does the same things i love in pacinos performances where you can feel the thoughts going through the characters head. you can tell when kat's falling further and when she and the demon are both hovering in consciousness together.

just a really really good movie. i can't watch it too much bc it hits a type of brainweird that blows my brain out but it is the absolute best i watched it like 3-4 times in a row first i saw it also on netflix lol...
