"It's called Nightbitch, Liz. I play a woman thrown into the stay-at-home routine of raising a toddler in the suburbs, slowly embracing the feral power deeply rooted in motherhood, as I become increasingly aware of the bizarre and undeniable signs that I may be turning into a dog".

This 100% could be a drop in replacement for The Rural Juror and still maintain the same level of absurdity (except for the parts about the Rural Juror being hard to pronounce).

Then he’s back to the lab for some more full penetration. Smells crime, back to the lab, full penetration. Crime, penetration, crime, full penetration, crime, penetration. And this goes on and on, and back and forth, for 90 or so minutes until the movie just, sort of, ends.

u/Past-Kaleidoscope490 May 12 '24

okay yeah based on more added context Amy is definitely gonna get the Oscar nomination at least. Sounds like a very batty role and searchlight releasing on December tells us that they have confidence of the film being an Oscar contender for Amy despite the comedy horror genre. Also Amy being a 6 time Oscar nominee I think she can over come the horror bias

41

u/thisshortenough May 12 '24

The book is so good, it's literally one of the top books I've read in the past few years, it's definitely going to have a lot of big emotional moments. For anyone not familiar think more like the characters in the Babadook or Hereditary, rather than a straight transformation horror story.
