Glad for it eventually crossing the mark, even if it doesn't make much of a difference. I seem to be the movie's lone fan around here,
-
You know what I mean, fucktard.
-
There is definitely a problem with modern auds where they don't want to take horror films seriously. So if you've got a very serious type of horror movie these people laugh at it. I don't get it, but that's what it is
-
I don't consider Green Room to be horror, more of a thriller. But if I did it'd fall in the middle for me. Something about that movie rubbed me the wrong way, just a really ugly film. Felt like I needed a shower afterwards.
-
The thing is...its not funny either.
-
This will probably end up being great...but that trailer was put together entirely by marketing execs. Not a creative touch on it.
-
Pretentious isn't the last word people would use to describe me...and I thought Sacred Deer was one of the most pretentious pieces of claptrap I've ever seen.
-
That's right...rankings... The Witch Hereditary . . It Comes at Night . . . . . The Killing of a Sacred Deer
-
Yeah, the two are nothing alike. It Comes at Night wasn't even a horror film in the end, which was the worse part of it all. This is definitely an out-and-out horror film.
-
Agreed on the finale, and what you're saying about the "greater forces" is its chief problem...it's not good to keep audiences too in the dark on the logic of it all, because then they're trying to piece it all together and that can take 'em out of the movie. I liked it a lot, and that ending is ace filmmaking, but it would've been scarier if Aster wasn't so keen on playing hard to get with the big questions.

Why are horror movie auds so predictably dumb/close-minded?

Yeah...I don't put much faith in great directors in producer roles if that's what you're implying. Chris Nolan on Batman v Superman or Spielberg on Transformers 2 come to mind. -
Goodness gracious...give this movie to me now.
-
I think you all are making a mistake thinking this is going to be like his last three films where he goes deep into subverting/rewriting history.
-
Can we stop pretending this is a first sequel and JW is an original? This is Jurassic Park 5, people.

This is a really cool concept that looks like it might be ruined by awful acting and an inexperienced director. Outside of Weaving, why did they cast a bunch of CW rejects? -
Probably not but it was dropping big from JW anyway. Marketing hasn't been very appealing.
-
The trailers have been quite terrible so it's not that surprising. It amazes me how horrible some of these filmmakers are at eliciting old-school Spielbergian wonder. Abrams is the only guy who's been remotely successful at it. Nolan too but that's another discussion that I don't want to get into...
-
The marketing was slick and unique (like all of his films) and reflected the movie's tone. I'm not going to knock him for refusing to cater to the Fifty Shades crowd.
-
Sorry but there are some movies where product placement is a part of the narrative, part of the joke...this is one of them.
-
I know, right? Wolf of Wall Street, Baby Driver, Wind River, now this.
-
It was an incredibly dark serial killer thriller whose source material was more popular overseas AND it legged it from 12m to 100m. I don't care what the budget was...that's a success.
-
You're so dumb it hurts.

The exact quote was something like "if the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes had a baby." So whether we're talking about the fact that she's from Iran or that she's African-American, either way it was a bigoted statement.
