Is it awful that I kind of want the twist of THE LEGEND OF OCHI to be that the adult monsters really are impossible to reason with, and would have happily and deliberately eaten the girl if Willem Dafoe hadn’t shown up in time? Seriously, how many times have we seen this movie? The message as provided is not exactly subversive.
My major hope is that the trailer is a total head-fake, really. Which… maybe? A24 does like to do unexpected stuff.
