Round 5!
If you recognize the movies hiding behind the decoy titles, please do not give identifying details about them in the notes.
Movie n°1: The real eldritch horror was in you all along
The leader of an isolated community, which lives in fear and reverence of the god they serve, is consumed with envy when a newcomer arrives who impresses the people with advanced outside technology and gains the favor of their deity. After alienating his people in an attempt to win back his god’s love that seemingly ends in the manslaughter of the newcomer, the leader is surprised by his rival and they are both stranded in the outside world. Kidnapped by a sadistic torturer and his attack dog, the newcomer has an existential breakdown when he realizes his entire past is false implanted memories, while the leader has a crisis of conscience and rallies the mutilated prisoners to escape their torment.
Movie n°2: Check out your kids’ candy
After quitting his job, a nerd receives a book from his dead relative and goes on a trip with a bunch of weird people (one of whom had just been bailed out of prison) to a strange city. Along the way, a few of the weirdos become his friends. One of them wants to steal this cool rock from the city, but the nerd says they can’t take it because a bunch of people will die if they do. The rock gets stolen anyway but the nerd and his friends get it back after a fight on hovercraft and a big balloon thing. Everyone but the nerd goes home and concocts an elaborate cover-up story that includes the death of the nerd.
Which of these movies do you think is the most compelling?

See ResultsWe came back once, let’s do it again. Let’s ‘Candy’ crush this match!
(Please don’t vote against me just because of the awful pun, thx.)
Hahaaaa
I don’t recognize either of these things, they both sound cool but the “Eldritch Horror” one sounds like an even more traumatic AU version of Tron Legacy
