So, 'Firstborn'—it's this strange blend of comedy and horror that really plays with your expectations. The pacing is pretty unique, shifting from laugh-out-loud moments to some genuinely tense scenes that leave you a bit unsettled. You’ve got this desperate guy trying to make a sacrifice, and the way it unfolds is both darkly funny and a bit poignant. The practical effects are solid, adding that gritty feel that complements the themes of desperation and absurdity. Performances are a mixed bag, but there’s a charm to the awkwardness that feels intentional. It’s not your run-of-the-mill fare, definitely sticks with you after the credits roll, and kind of makes you rethink what you’d do in his shoes.
