#i just had the same problem i did with longlegs (speaking of oz perkins) where the atmosphere was fantastic

the funniest example i have of an intended plot twist sailing completely over my head is when i watched the blackcoat's daughter for the first time and did not register that kiernan shipka and emma roberts were different people, nor did i consider for a second that we were supposed to think they were playing different characters. my faceblindness prevented me from telling two similar-looking blonde white women with the exact same hair color and style apart and so for me there was no big reveal that they were the same person. that was just...the movie i was already watching

when it first cut to "joan" at the bus station i just assumed that kat had snuck out and was going somewhere under a fake name, but of course when it cut back to the school and she was still there i figured out that these were two different time periods we were following at once. closest thing to a "twist" for me was confirming that "joan"'s story was in the future relative to rose and kat's. i did not realize how it was supposed to play until my usual routine of checking the wikipedia article for a full cast list after finishing the film. don't know how many other people had the same experience but that was mine
