Blog entry: January 30th, 2026; IRON LUNG


Just got home from seeing Iron Lung and I have Thoughts™

Most of my thoughts are very spoilery so all I'll say now is Really fucking good movie.

I really really enjoyed it, though some of my friends were uncomfortable with the gore, fair enough

[SPOILERS] My thoughts (dropdown)

So right now this movie's taking up a similar place in my head at John Carpenter's The Thing

What I mean is it feels similar in how it tells its story; it does a lot and leaves a lot of questions unanswered

Of course I may have missed some, I could definitely tell I didn't get everything

Some questions I have fresh in my head:

  • Why did the oxygen meter raise up a tick?
  • What was in the box?
  • Who was talking to Simon? (this one may have been obvious I'm unsure)
  • How much of that actually happened and how much was some form of psychosis from being down there?

I'm sure I'll think of more later, those are just the main ones that came to mind

I really enjoy how intentional everything felt, like every thing brough up was there for a reason and would come back later.

It just felt really well crafted, I could feel Markiplier and his whole team's passion throughout the entire thing.

I'll likely update this page when I have more thoughts, just wanted to write my thoughts while they were fresh
