The fact that this is probably a huge underestimation is absolutely wild to me.
This already has been incredible time for independent horror films ESPECIALLY ones made by people who are/were online creators (Iron Lung, Talk to me). I really think that if this does well the pattern to producers and the industry as a whole will be hard to ignore.
If i were to predict I think we are going to see a large rise in independent stories first created online being able to finally cross that gap into more widespread releases which is very exciting!
I am very happy to see Kane Parsons get the opportunity to create with no limitations and have it be a huge success as his series genuinely has inspired so much great work! I am so so excited to see this movie man
