Its such a spiral into madness & if you keep in mind the clues throughout the film you cant quite put it together until the end.

Even in a scene when a crazy event happened it had me second guessing if it actually happened that way or if that was just how a crazy person saw it - or if it even happened at all.

I looked it up and saw it was made by A24, the same film company behind The VVitch. I thought oh, this explains why I was left feeling uncomfortable by the end. Its like they doubled down on the suspense.

I mean, I liked the movie, but I wouldn't say it was a good horror movie. Thought the end was dumb tho, but I just in general don't really like that kind of ending.

Never made me feel like, uncomfortable or afraid or anything, although I was interested in the story.

Its Oscar-worthy, in my opinion. At the very least for Best Actress.

Yeah, it's pretty incredible. You should check out Green Room if you haven't yet too. (Also distributed by A24)

Its funny to me to see fantastic movies like this get great reviews from critics and meh to s*** reviews from audiences.

The VVitch
Krampus
Hereditary

I think Get Out would have also gotten bad user reviews if it didnt have a happy ending and the comedic character.

Anyways, on my list to see is:
It Follows
Green Room
It Comes At Night

The scene with the piano wire. Omg

At first I was confused by what she was doing, like maybe stabbing herself with two knives. Then I saw the wire and remembered seeing a broken piano in the living room.

Just going to mention concerning A24's horror/suspense films that It Comes at Night is kinda garbage compared to Heredity and The VVitch (dealwithit.gif)

it was good. definitely owned the execution and kept it believable and interesting throughout.

but i definitely wouldn't call it one of the best anything ever. that's a little ridiculous.

Oh it definitely follows the same structure. But with The VVitch theres no mystery. From the beginning it shows you theres definately a witch.

Good suggestion, Green Room was a bit of a hidden gem that slipped through the cracks.

I loved Hereditary, I thought it was a fantastic movie, but A Quiet Place is still my best of the year. I do agree though that it's tough to call Hereditary "horror" it's more like a psychological slow burn thriller. Something like that.

I enjoyed it, but I feel like it is very overhyped. That one horrific scene really fucks you up, but is basically all downhill after that. Once you figure out what is going on it becomes kind of boring.

Annhilation was also good but got bad user reviews.

10 Cloverfield Lane got good user reviews. I liked the ending with the sci-fi action, the lady destroying an alien ship with a Molotov, & somewhat happy ending. But I know it would have gotten bad user reviews if it ended the moment she got outside, saw the alien ship and said come on. People would have been upset.

I dont know about the development of the movie but I could totally see it having just been about the underground life with John Goodman and then halfway through production aliens get shoehorned in and the name cloverfield slapped on the title.

A Quiet Place is definitely worth seeing. John is a good actor. But I wouldnt put it on the same level as Hereditary.

the movie was good but i disliked the ending, but there was no really any other way to end it really

toni definitely did a fantastic job obvs

a quiet place was novel but upon retrospection isn't really as good overall. definitely a more accessible movie though

i've been meaning to watch the witch though

I liked Hereditary a lot, but I'm careful about whom I recommend it to. It's too disturbing for most of the people I know. I tell them to watch The Nun instead, Lol.

The movie was enjoyable (save for the son's generally awful acting and the terrible ending) but lets not be so hasty to call this art. Its an above average horror movie that doesn't rely on jump scares.

Art is reserved for movies like Upsteam Color, Blade Runner, Requiem For A Dream, Mulholland Drive, etc

The Witch is way better IMO. Hereditary's convoluted nature kinda worked against it's slow-burn take on horror IMO. Still good though.

Green Room is also great.

A Quiet Place is also great.

It Follows was lackluster to me tbh.
