They low key tell you that the reason you're not closer to your family is because you're too close to society. The sort of person that appeals to has a very fearful psyche, perfect for the lead role in a cabin horror film.

Yea I could see that. They’re targeting the people that are scared of society

Aren’t horror movies pretty chill in the beginning usually?

Everything is perfectly normal until the dog dies.

A bunch of them do make you feel uneasy at the start. It's likely their marketing "technique." It got us talking about it lol. They just want something different that sticks in peoples heads.

Yes! Thank you, those things drive me nuts and every time I see one I’m like “this family is gonna die.”

Me too! Theyre creepy commercials!

Who watches media with commercials? If you are, you're doing it wrong.

This post itself is a commercial, and they got you to do it for free. (or not. getting paid would at least make you a smart corporate whore)

You sound triggered so often I can’t even really joke about it. It’s like every single post, man. Incredible.
