horror films
Ohhhhh shit. Midsommar premieres right on my birthday... Assuming I'm not in Ohio with my family that day (probably postponing the yearly trip a bit this time), real tempted to have myself a REAL disturbing 44th. This film's shaping up to be everything I've ever wanted in a grotesque waking nightmare. >:D
re: horror films
@mmsword Right? Have you seen Hereditary? Ari Aster's one of the most cunning damn audience manipulators I've ever had the pleasure of being fucked with by...
I also love the whole subversion of having a horror film take place largely outdoors, in bare golden (midnight!) sunlight and pretty blue skies, right in the middle of a genuinely pretty festival. I hear rumors that the protagonists are pretty immune to Genre-Induced Stupidity, too.
