A24 is a demonic ass studio

Demonic but they make excellent/above average movies..

We need to support these types of companies if we dont want to drown in this popcorn superhero/action bullshyt thats being shoved in everyones throat on the daily....( i like to watch these but only ONCE IN A WHILE)

PROTECT A24


Edit: Hereditary is a modern horror classic cant wait for Midsommar!!

 

[the cool]

ill wait until it becomes available via digital download...i thought hereditary was trash so having the same director for this...i can wait

Hereditary was so trash

 

[Take It In Blood]

theres a deformed cac in the trailer thumbnail so i refuse to hit play

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Seems like half of y'all think Hereditary is trash and the other half think is great. Ima have to check it out. This new flick seems way too long for a horror flick. Homies review didn't sell me on it.

@MartyMcFly how was hereditary?

 

[ThirdAct]

Hereditary is really well-made but not the end-all be-all to horror movies like how people made it out to be. It is better than that overrated It Follows shyt, though.

I watch all their shyt off GP. Only studio whos website I go to just for titles.

 

[Apollo Creed]

Im hearing this is a comedy horror?

 

[FreedMind]

Im hearing this is a comedy horror?

I see why people would say that, as there was a few good laughs in the film, but I think it's a bit of a stretch to say its a full horror comedy. This is not shaun of the dead.

Bait and switch marketing.

based on early reviews it’s sounding like this is Aster’s “Us” compared to Hereditary which was his “Get Out”

very accurate

My wife talking about going to see this and I think Hereditary is one of the 10 worst movies every made :grippingafrancis:

Going to be eating it from the back all the way through the 4th to try and avoid it :grippingafrancis:

Freak man freak man yeah that’s you

Spoiler

Nah I haven't saw it but peep the plot

Spoiler

Sidney Johnson, an acclaimed poet, accidentally interrupts his twelve-year-old son, Isaiah, masturbating. He apologizes and reassures him that the act is natural. Sidney does not realize that Isaiah had been masturbating to a photograph of him.

Fourteen years later, during Isaiah's wedding reception, Isaiah's mother Joan discovers Isaiah about to perform fellatio on a distressed Sidney. While Joan is in the shower, Sidney leaves a typed memoir under her pillow, Coc00n Man: Confessions by Sidney Johnson, which chronicles the years of sexual abuse he has endured at the hands of his son. Isaiah discovers the memoir before Joan can see it and confronts Sidney, telling him he will burn the memoir and warning him not to make more.

While Sidney is taking a bath, Isaiah breaks down the locked door and assaults Sidney. Joan hears the struggle, but raises the volume of the television. Isaiah climbs off his father adjusting his pants. The next day, Sidney removes a secret copy of Coc00n Man from underneath the floorboards and attempts to leave the house with it, leading to another confrontation with Isaiah. Sidney runs into the street where he is struck and killed by a van.

After Sidney's funeral, Joan asks Isaiah why Sidney cried for hours in the bathroom after Isaiah's prom night ten years prior. Their argument escalates into a physical fight, and Joan kills Isaiah with a fire iron. She throws Coc00n Man into the fire.

Saw that years ago. Never realized same director
