Yeah that's a dope ass movie man.

But still....when you think about all the tropes in horror and how certain shyt like zombies, slashers.....Japanese ghosts a few years ago, etc. get ran into the ground....hardly anyone uses cults. It's a gold mine for creepy shyt that's rarely used. It's weird honestly.

Cult movies are the only ones that truly make me feel uneasy. Hereditary did a masterful job using that trope, by especially having the cult on the fringe and not upfront. They're invading, but never fully present. And even when they are present we don't know who they are and what they believe. It gives them a frightening mystery...and then having them standing around naked increases that uneasiness. The cult comes off as friendly, amiable, welcoming--only their presence being remotely upsetting. That is unusual for cult films, as we usually know their aims, beliefs, rituals and personalities. In Rosemary's baby the cult is ever present..and the frightening part is that their presence has a far reaching, pervasive influence, i.e. the doctor being part of it. In that Netflix movie The Apostle the outside guy invades the cult: we see how they live, what they worship and even get a look into their politics. All 3 have differing variations of that trope, and all of them do it particularly well; the main focus of each differs; in each there are differing goals: an offering, a recruiting and a preserving (Hereditary, Rosemary's baby, the apostle, respectively).

I fully expect Midsommar to introduce us to something totally different than whats been done before.

Aster hates Christianity :dead:

People that were mad at Mandy and/or Hereditary should stay home for this one

One scene honestly. But as far as brutality it’s worse than
Charlies death in Hereditary

I basically told my sisters that they should stay away from this one

I'm taking my girl, but we going in the afternoon so maybe that should help :mjlol:

Hereditary was jokes to my honestly, and the 'scene' from Hereditary didnt really do much for me since I'm pretty much desensitized from seeing 80s and 90s practical effects gore as a kid.

This was Aster’s Us. It was a much slower burn than hereditary but the gut punch by the end
where we are juxtaposed into the bear suit
was :ohhh:


This felt like a psychedelic/psychological version of Hostel


I still can’t decide if I liked this as much as Hereditary, but the trip was better :mjlit:
