    For me, sometimes the pure bleakness of fictitious horror is what gives me strength and hope. A great example is the film THE DARK AND THE WICKED, which is an ultra bleak, HEREDITARY-style film. It centers on caring for a dying parent, something I've experienced. BUT THEIRS IS SO MUCH WORSE.

    Since those absolutely clock me as a 90s kid, some more recent ones include Hereditary (the *sound* in the theater when the thing, you know, happens), Black Panther (just a goddamn celebration), and seeing the Mission Impossible movie with a Mumbai scene in some weird theater in Mumbai by myself.

    This is a whole thread but the bottom line is they made like 9 hours of IT movie without a single scare you'll think about the next day. I'm sorry, but we can all go watch The Babadook or Hereditary or The Witch now, and could by then as well. Step your fucking game up, you've got no excuses

    "Hereditary" is probabiy the scariest movie I've seen in the last ten years. And yes, I enjoyed "Midsommar" but I would not say it was scary. Just uncomfortable.

    We've had Hereditary, Get Out, Sinners and Weapons so it frustrates me that horror films are still seen as "less than" & must be seen as "more than just". Having seen Frankenstein (which I really enjoyed) it's a fucking horror film and there's nothing wrong with that www.pajiba.com/news/dont-ca...

    We watched Bring Her Back the other night. Gnarly as hell, but an instructive film if you're interested in why the similarly themed Hereditary and The Babadook are classics of the A24 Horror era but this isn't. You can feel the difference somehow.

    shades of Hereditary in this (which is a better film), but goddamn i loovvvvved so much of this. it’s heavy and dark and goes hard on the body horror [complimentary], and it’s anchored by the most charming doomed siblings in all of Australia. (plus a wackadoo Sally Hawkins!)

    I disagree with the premise of this video. It draws a distinction between movies like Barbarian (campy comedic entertainment) and movies like Hereditary (elevated self serious horror), but fails to square the circle of something like Get Out, which is considered Elevated. youtu.be/a8PBzFQzwCg?...

    For HEREDITARY, Ari Aster built the family's house entirely as a set, then filmed it to look like the miniature dolls' houses that haunt the film. He framed rooms so the real home and the tiny models became impossible to tell apart.

    One of the best atmospheric folk horrors since Hereditary. The entire film is a creepy, dark nightmare. It’s the perfect stormy night flick. Unrelenting in its loneliness, the plot will find your last nerve and sit on it. 📽️🩸 What dies, kids? EVERYTHING!
