Quite a few of my all time favorite movies are horror but they aren't of the slasher variety or whatever

I like slow burn atmospheric s*** like The Shining and Rosemarys Baby and The VVitch but hardcore horror fans consider people like me basic. I do like alot of Texas Chainsaw Massacre type of things too and a ton of creepy 50s s*** from Japan and Europe etc but it's still not enough for me to be considered a real horror fan probably.

You need to see The Shining for Jack Nicholson's performance and Kubrick's atmosphere it's an all-timer

Not jump scarey or gorey

I haven’t seen a horror movie I really “liked” since Hereditary tbh. I can enjoy anything that isn’t boring or annoyingly self-righteous though. I saw the Candyman reboot too. It’s... a little better than “okay”. I think there’s enough for you to enjoy if you do see it.

I've only seen Hereditary once and thought it was cool, its a fine line with these artsy horror flicks tho. When they try to do too much or seem deeper than they actually need to be is but done right they hit really good.

Martin's reaction at 00:57

Feel like Eggers does it well cause he's a guy that's genuinely into horror. A lot of these artsy types tackle a genre they just don't seem to get and it's like cinematic blue balls.

Yo, was he trying not to laugh? My brother liked Martin way more than I did but Hustle Man and a couple other characters always got a laugh out of me

Eggers isn't even into horror or film as much as he is mythology, folklore and language in general. Gives him and edge over these other dudes for sure.

Yeah I love seeing actors try and hold in their laughter when someone else is being too funny the most infectious type

I completely agree and it’s why I absolutely f***ing hated Midsommar, A Ghost Story and Lamb. A24 needs to stop trying to do horror completely and switch to comedy or musicals or something.

He’s so deep in the roots of what “horror” is that he doesn’t even register what he’s doing as genre. Explains how he can switch tone so easily without losing depth.
