Goosebumps (2022)

Six stories- one great movie

I loved the plot! There are few chapters and in each of them there's a story where somebody ends up being killed. I loved the one with Choi Minho. How can he be such a lucky guy even in movies lol His story is gripping but the ending is terrifying as well as funny (black humour vibe). How come this movie is so funny but also frightening at the same time?

-huge spoiler-
If you want to see a 'falling angel' who almost killed Minho and Pyo having the time of his life as peeping Tom breaking into a girl's flat and wearing her underwear on his head, you should watch it!

Such a great thriller with lots of black humour (and not only). Worth watching!

A Quietly Disturbing Look at Modern Life

New Normal is an interesting, if somewhat uneven, film that follows the lives of six different people, with each story unfolding through chapter-style storytelling. This structure works well because it gradually offers insight into each character’s life while emphasizing how disconnected people can be from one another, even while living side by side in the same world.

One of the film’s strongest aspects is its cinematography and overall presentation. The way the movie is shot reinforces its central theme: everyone appears to be living ordinary, routine lives on the surface, yet there are darker and more complicated events happening beyond what others can see. That sense of hidden reality creates an unsettling atmosphere throughout the film.

The ending, however, is where the movie becomes more divisive. It takes a very nuanced and ambiguous approach, which makes the story feel intentionally unresolved. While the final revelations and the group chat sequence provide enough context to understand why certain individuals were being targeted, the film leaves many questions unanswered. Not seeing the aftermath or consequences of those events may frustrate some viewers, especially since no one is truly held accountable and life seemingly continues as normal.

At the same time, that unresolved feeling appears to be deliberate. New Normal leans heavily into the idea that real life rarely provides complete closure or easy answers. People move on, mysteries remain unsolved, and the world continues regardless. Whether that approach feels thought-provoking or unsatisfying will likely depend on the viewer.

Overall, I neither loved nor disliked the film. It presents some compelling ideas and creates an effective atmosphere, even if its storytelling choices do not always fully land. One thing that stood out, intentionally or not, was the soundtrack, which often felt strangely placed and unexpectedly comedic at times.
