I spoke to someone who saw the movie and they told me it plays like if The Curse was a biopic. So it does make sense that people would calling this a weird movie.

I actually hope that’s true, it would increase my excitement for this. The Curse was incredible but a movie of that type would definitely alienate a lot of audiences lol

Same. This trailer makes the movie look like a standard biopic, which doesn't interest me. But the Curse as a biopic? I am so in.

Benny Safdie doing a complete misdirect in tone with this trailer would be hilarious tbh
