This has happened to me a few times. For example, I saw Long Legs when it first streamed and I wasn't impressed. It was mildly interesting but I didn't find it scary and I thought it was overrated. Just this past weekend I decided to watch it again and really pay attention and not be futzing around with my phone. I really enjoyed it this time and found myself spooked at various scenes.

I did the same with Hereditary. Didn't like it on the first watch but I kept thinking about it so I watched it again and enjoyed it so much more. I eventually watched it a third time and caught all kinds of interesting things that I missed the first 2 times.
