Are you the weirdos the letterboxd reviews talk about
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
The original Blader Runner was already considered something of a classic when I watched it on VHS in my formative years. What is this "letterboxd reviews" heresy of which you speak?
It's just so outrageously slow....like I'm 1.5hrs in and this is my 2nd attempt. Maybe I need a cinema or something
I was going to post my agreement with your suggested plan of action. However, I realise that in my rage I initially misread "cinema" as "enema'.
If you can't watch it at the cinema, try watching it with your mobile phone and laptop in another room. I find this is a big reason why cinema helps, less digital distractions!
Also, I checked out

You're Next (2011) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1853739/
Not bad.
I kept correctly guessing upcoming changes in the plot, so although predictable at times, it was still an enjoyable experience nonetheless.

Not a big fan myself. Outrageously slow. On that film I will happily defer to the Letterboxd reviews.

Heretic (2024) - 7/10
Very creepy and well written with some clever observations on religion and how it has been changed over time.
Grant does a stellar performance as the disturbingly friendly lead and whilst the setting effectively adds to the claustrophobia and oppressive atmosphere, the house could have been more eccentric.
The ending stretches belief a little too far, but the use of light, no matter how contrived, was a good contrast to the house and what occurs within.

Have to admit I fell asleep when I tried to watch it. It does look good for its time but I agree it is slow.

Caddo lake 7/10
Drama mystery with more than a hint of Dark about it. Really good film, keeps you guessing and trying to figure out what is going on. Good performances from the cast too. Recommended if you like this sort of film.

The hate is from the people who liked the first film and the fact this is basically giving them the middle finger.

Ermmm, really liked it up until the last ten mins
So 7.5/10
Mind I have no love of the original and the book is one King title I have not read. Should fix that.
What I liked about it, is .. didn't take itself too seriously at times. Felt more like.... A 12 than a outright horror.
