KK 3,307 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 One of the more rewarding horror films in recent years, that one. Better than most other hailed "modern horror masterpieces" these days. A24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 And no jump scares! They accomplished a spooky romp without having to startle you into shitting your pants every two minutes. Of course, some of my geek mates on Facebook despised it for that very reason. I fear the industry will continue to listen to them more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,333 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Most of the horror lies in the drama, which is more horrifying than meaningless jump scares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Yea, it gets to you in other ways. I remember feeling sick during the car accident scene. Watching him just quietly sneak in bed, pretending as if nothing happened...that's the stuff of real nightmares. And even some of my friends were turned off by it. I guess it's because it has you on the edge of your sit for the whole film, but rarely, if ever, offers release for that tension, which is what pop-up scares are designed to do.

A24 4,333 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 What most people want is actually nothing more than amusement park horror. It's a kind of horror that is safe because it never feels real. You know it's just a ride. Like KK says, watching the action or reaction of the brother makes you understand that this is not one of those 'attractions'.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I was a bit lost about where the sister's body was found. Was she still in the car or did the brother put her to bed? I was also surprised how he wasn't made to face a judge over the incident, especially since he was obviously high at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Crosspost from the Tolkien sub-forum: Looks somewhat bland, not so much the concept but the execution, but that might just as well be only the trailer's fault. I certainly don't mind the imagery of WW1 and other events being obvious parallels to Tolkien's writing, as that seems to be pretty accurate. Shame Colm Meaney doesn't show up in the trailer, but at least Derek Jacobi does. I rather feel George Fenton should have scored this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that video, the name or 'the director of Get Out' doesn't appear. The point is that I recognized the style before I knew who the director was.
