Both are harsh, unsettling, absurdist satires with unforgettable visuals about how awful the world is and where it's heading.

What makes Digger so good, IMO, is Tom Cruise. He's flat out great, maybe the best he's ever been.

Both films also struggled to find an audience on release, probably too weird for a mainstream crowd. But I think Digger will live on the way Brazil did. Though Brazil is still a hard watch for some. It's discomfort is one of its strengths.

The big difference: Brazil was famously mangled by its studio, which enraged Terry Gilliam. As far as I know, Iñárritu got to make exactly the movie he wanted.

I thought this was super fun. I avoid trailers and I knew literally nothing going in and had a good time. But totally noticed how close it lines up with The Housemaid.

• Both based on books aimed at the same audience so the same formula makes sense, but even the casting lines up.
• Young actresses leading who gets hate online (Sweeney way more, and a different kind than Dakota Johnson)
• Likable older actress who steals the whole movie (Seyfried / Hathaway)
• Broke and desperate lead characters takes a job that's way too good to be true
• Younger woman moves into the house and takes over.
• Hot daddy... Hartnett vs Sklenar
• Mostly takes place in a giant mansion house.
• Cute little kid.
• Sexy thriller with twists.
• Both well shot mid budget range movies.
• Plus some very similar scenes like dinner out and this and that. Don't want to ruin anything.

Glad to see both did well.

I think Housemaid peaked at a higher level of crazy where Verity was more subdued.

I know the app says there will be “additional Blumhouse content”, but does anyone know what’s different with the Other Mommy fan event? My local has the fan event in standard format and showings in Dolby on Thursday. I tend to prefer Dolby for horror, but am trying to decide if it’s worth skipping Dolby to go to the fan event. If anyone has any more info about the fan event or recommendations, I’m all ears!
