lmao i can’t imagine ever making it through The Lighthouse again without falling asleep

to be fair Yorgos hype is a lot worse than Eggers cuz he gets all that praise when most his movies range from absolute dogshit to mid

Found Aster’s style of horrors to be very appealing. The Witch is easily my fav film by Robert though, great film.

people really be on his d*** lmao i had someone tell me that The Lighthouse was their fav movie, and how it blew their mind, and that i was sure to love it. this was a week after it dropped

just cause it doesnt do what most s***ty mainstream horror movies do now doesnt make it good. the best part of the movie was the image of the severed head.

I said that after wwitch alone

I meant not enough hyperbole as in like everybody should be sucking him off way harder

idk i find the hype over his most recent couple films to be pretty undeserved, but i REALLY like The Lobster.

personally there is stuff I loved about lighthouse. The sound design and cinematography is genuinely extremely enveloping and Dafoe is god level in it.

But everything else is just so mediocre or bad (the final scenes with Pattinson feel like a Yeezus stan directed a movie) that it is at best a slightly above average movie to me

Several of us think this

YOU think this

i havent even seen the lighthouse but the witch had more soul and charisma than f***ing hereditary x a billion

I feel it was scarier than The Shining and I watched that movie when i was 15 lol. Most horror movies in general just don't have that combination of bold slow paced filmmaking and high production value to sell the effect.

Lordie, Marth and Fidelio too

Maybe aruji with some reservations

Watch it already

you didn’t enjoy the part where the mom is having a mental breakdown cuz she thinks she’s going insane and doesn’t realize she’s being f***ed with/controlled?? that was my fav part, so emotional and scary

honestly think I found Paranormal Activity 1 more scary than The Shining off first watch

yeah but your taste is weird af though and borderline retar*+!. i only respect it cause i think you're a genuinely smart guy.

Had a handful of people over to watch it and we all just said meh when it ended. Usually were screaming and yelling and laughing for a good horror.

such unpredictable takes, consistency hard to perceive

yeah i’ve never thought the Shining was that scary. imo “scary-ness” is highly subjective tho cuz it’s usually dependent on the viewer’s personal psyche and experiences. can’t really measure it

are you talking about me or him? i'm drunk right now

looks like you infected your friends with trash taste

Yeezy

Feels like we have alotta good times

yeah I don't necessarily use scariness as a factor to judge a horror movie on.

Love the s*** out of the first Conjuring but its not scary. Same with The Shining.

I think what made me scared af of movies like Paranormal Activity, Blair Witch, or even Hereditary was that it always felt like I was watching something very new and cuz of that there was a degree of unpredictability.
