'New Group' Review: Japanese Horror Film Takes Groupthink to Bizarre New Heights

Humans don’t typically operate like bees or ants, working as architectural wizards in unison, marching in a trance and operating under collective cognition to support a fertile queen. Totally unrelated question: Do you own a Labubu? Sure, people with a Labubu hanging from their tote bag presumably don’t aim to serve its creator, or the Chinese toy company Pop Mart. But the craze for the fuzzy little guys has become an example of strange collective behavior, a herd mentality akin to that of the Beanie Babies craze. Labubus are virtually harmless, but when said collective behavior impacts decision-making by sucking in those with weak critical thinking skills, groupthink can breed catastrophic consequences — like, for example, a totalitarian state.
