RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she’s happy to see, since most of us don’t have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you’ve used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.
Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.
That ending……WOW. Never saw that coming
My sister did the Peetimes for this movie, but I want to see it when it streams.
Even though I thought something was up (a twist) from the beginning I haven’t been that surprised since the Sixth Sense.
I found myself (a Christian) wondering how I feel about it. I realized I wasn’t interested in choosing sides—- i already know how extreme others will feel—- but I had a heart for the characters in this movie. ALL the characters. I found myself wondering how I would feel in their shoes. It was a really well written script. And wonderful acting. This may be my favorite movie of the year. I love when movies make me think— and this one did from the beginning and continued after I left.
Now I really can’t wait to see this movie! I’m sure it will be streaming in a month or so.
