James McAvoy - always humble and charming and sooo talented!

Interviewer asked some really good questions.

Just a heads up for this interview: it contains major spoilers about the movie's ending from 3:17-3:43

Are you tryna trick me…..etcetera? #hedwig. When he smiles all I see is hedwig😂

[skatingcanuck]

This should say SPOILER ALERT in the title. That aside, nice work.

[MsTriangle]

SPOILER ALERT AT 3:17. Ends at 3:43.

James gave me goosebumps! Such a great eerie character he created. And the kids were beyond, exceptional in these very challenging roles. And I love the strong protective mum character. Finally a strong woman and it is not coming across as forced for the “messages”.

[KittenBasedHome]

Damn, he was playing an x-man when I was a kid. And then I saw him in Filth when I was obsessed with Irvine Welsh. A great actor.

[coldbattery]

he's so charming it's terrifying.
Like he can lure me in some dangerous trap easily.

Should have read the comments first - spoiler for a film that only came out 5 days ago! Ffs

[ChilliCheezdog]

James McAvoy - is in danger of being more entertaining than his movies.

[chrissayeranderson]

The original was much better . Probably should have waited a few more years for that to settle first. The ending of this one was more satisfying.

FINALLY MAN-
FINALLY. FINALLY. A MOVIE THAT DIDNT SUCK, AND UNSURPRISINGLY, IT WASNT HYPED-
I WAS FULLY PREPARED TO COME BACK LIKE (ok this one's totally on me- a PG13 "horror" movie- I was fully aware but went anyway [cuz extreme deadbeat shck has nothing to do but wait for whistleblowers but anyways-])
BUT THIS MOVIE EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS- I DID TAKE A FEW POINTS OFF BC EVEN AFTER AN HOUR INTO THE MOVIE THE MOVIE DIDNT TAKE SHAPE AND THERE WERE ONLY SPECULATIVE GUESSES ON WHERE THAT WILDCARD OF THE KID WOULD GO
GOOD MOVIE. GREAT ACTOR I DIDNT KNOW HE WAS THAT GOOD!
ONE MORE THING! LOL!:
THE FIRST LIKE 10 MINS I WAS LIKE (OH YEA, THAT'S THE GUY FROM 'IT', BUT HE LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE ELSE A LOT DEEPER, BUT I CANT PUT MY FINGER ON IT)
AT LIKE 80 IT FINALLY DAWNED ON ME - NO OFFENSE TO HIM: LOL!!!! SO MANY PARALLELS ITS HILARIOUS
*MAJOR SPOILERS*
AN EVIL MALEVOLENT GUY PLAYING "good guy", BUT HE'S BASICALLY MONEY LAUNDERING MONEY FROM 41 COUNTRIES AND IS AN EVIL EVIL MAN, BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS, THE FAMILY DIDNT WALK IN AND BASICALLY SEE SWATSTIKA FLAGS IN EVERY ROOM AND ACTIVE [ukr IS THE MOST CORRUPT COUNTRY IN EUROPE] MONEY LAUNDERING HAPPENING IN EVERY ROOM "ok! ok! here's our acct number and routing number take all of my taxpayer money!" THE PARALLELS IS HILLLLARIOUS!!

[MsTriangle]

Do we really need to remake a perfect film from 2022? The original is called "Gæsterne", I highly recommend it. Judging by the trailer of the American version, the original is much more subtle, it's not as obvious, the trailer did not reveal as much. Here we basically get a confirmation that something bad is going to happen from the get-go.

I'm pretty sure the original movie is much better.
