Hey you did great, keep it up-very entertaining.

Again...check out "The Devils" with Oliver Reed. Disturbing to the Nth Degree.
@@ersturdevant2831 Yes, it's so disturbing that they've never released the full uncut version anywhere.
@@chooch610 True! Supposedly there is a somewhat full version on Torrent...so I've heard.
A24 is such a gem of a studio, giving opportunities to rookie directors who have real talent. They have a real great identity as a company and are just great for film.
It's one of the last studios that gives a chance to "artsy" films. Pretty soon the entire scene will be owned and operated by Disney and the era for unknown directors making their passion artsy pieces will be over. Disney even talked about opening up their own theater chain which would put smaller privately owned theaters who still play the smaller movies out of business. It's truly tragic, It's been a huge issue for a few years now.
No they donât I think their. Bad at making movies
@Ciguaphyria X plus A24 doesn't make most of their movies. They're primarily just the U.S. distributor. Most of the movies in their catalogue they had zero to do with the production (still love their catalogue tho).
I'm glad there are people who like A24. But for me, it's a big keep away sign. I'd rather watch artless trash like Maniac Cop than The Lighthouse. Keep horror trashy and low budget and hungry. A24 is like adding symphonic instrumentation and production value to raw black metal albums.
I love The Killing Of A Sacred Deer. Glad to see someone who doesnât think itâs boring đ
It's amazing!
clonekillerz I didnât really like it, but I donât think that itâs boring.
To me, that's a masterpiece!
Angela Comprés I agree!
clonekillerz i wouldnât call it boring at all, Iâd call it slow for sure though
I invited a bunch of friends over to watch a movie. I put on Tusk without any context. I have no friends now.
I'd be one of those friends who would have said "what a fun ride- any more recommendations?" ... I mean srsly, even "death becomes her" had more body-horror to offer. at least in variety
Man, that sucks. My friend showed me Tusk and not even a month later, I got a walrus tattoo (despite being extremely disturbed and moderately depressed for the following 48 hours of seeing it)
Damn Ur friends sound like pussies lmfao, such a tame movie
Herriditary has a weird connection with me. The first time I finally got decided to watch it about 20 minutes in I got the call my grandma had passed away tragically. I didnât pick the movie up again for months. Even now when I watch it it still brings up hard memories. Itâs a real good Movie though!
Art with Rstardoodles Wow thats crazy
wow
*Hereditary
That has nothing to do with the movie though. Youâre just forming connections between 2 unrelated things which is a very common human practice.
That movie slightly fucked me up.
Midsommar is my favorite one, it was so beautiful. You donât see horror type movies with the color palette and environment as that, and it keeps it like 100% throughout. I LOVED it
I never realized how much I love A24 movies until seeing this video. I love almost all of these movies! Oddly, I haven't seen or even heard of The Killing of a Sacred Deer! I'll be checking that one out for sure.
Hope you enjoy it Julie!
It is a Fantastic movie ! In my top 3 for sure !!!
That was the same for me as well I stumbled across the trailer while doing research on the director. It wasnât much promotion for it and the trailer doesnât give anything away either.
Itâs coming to Netflix this month !
Iâm so hyped for Saint Maud whenever that comes out.
Me too! It will likely be delayed now though!
I'm so excited to see it cant wait!!đ
Itâs going to be in home tv
bananabob456 itâs amazing.
@@finbain569 u seen it?đ
A24 just blows every other movie company out of the water, in my opinion. They just completely align with what I love in film. Thank you for this video!
I made the mistake of watching Tusk while I was eating my lunch.
haha whooops!
this video makes me realize Iâm either ALL IN with an A24 movie or completely all out lol movies like Tusk and Green Room were just so amazing but I couldnât stand movies like Climax and The Lighthouse. definition of hit or miss for me, but I loved hearing your list!
I'm actually quite opposite...
Most definitely! A24 has made a few bombs, but inversely, a few that are worth a re-watch over and over again!
Obviously, "Hereditary", which definitely deserves be high up because it was REALLY successful on a budget of $10 million with returning just over 8Ă at $80.2 million and pretty much made Toni Collette a scream queen!
Totally agree. A24 supports so many creative minds and Iâm here for it, we get to see some stories play out that we otherwise might not. Sometimes tho, it feels like in an attempt to find a story thatâs âuniqueâ and âdifferentâ, like most of their films, they find some people that cross the line into âwtf actually is thisâ territory.
Thanks Sarah! I know we have pretty different tastes so that makes complete sense to me!
Your Climax review was kind of disappointing because the only negative thing you had to say about it was that it made you uncomfortable, so it's almost like you would have enjoyed it had it not been so intense, whatever though. Still appreciate your channel
It Comes at Night is honestly my favorite horror film of all time. The amount of tension Shults manages to build throughout is outstanding. I also think it has one of the best / bleakest endings out of any horror film. He managed to create an ending that was both surprising and completely inevitable.
I love that Shults refuses to reveal exactly what âItâ is, instead implying that humans are the real monsters.
Its a masterfull subversive piece of cinema
Fernando Haberfeld I agree 100%. The marketing was abysmal, and it really hurt the film. But going in blind is the best way to fully appreciate it.
Bahh hated it
I agree 100%đđ»
Went in blind. Loved it, totally agree.
It's crazy that A24 have made at least 4 of the best films of the decade! Of the ones I've seen this is my list!
1: Hereditary
2: Midsommar
3: The Blackcoat's Daughter
4: The Witch
5: The Lighthouse
6: Green Room
7: The Hole in the Ground
8: The Killing of a Sacred Deer
9: High Life
10: Under the Skin
11: Life After Beth
I feel as though Killing of a Sacred Deer is so underrated, such an incredible film!!!! Same as Climax, both these movies really shook me to the core. Shoutout to A24 for saving horror.
Climax so disappointing to me... Killing of a Sacred Deer is solid though..
I found " Under The Skin " to be a phenomenal film. So much subtle tension. Truly an artistic masterpiece. 5 đ
A lingering, truly disturbing films, like Oliver Reed's "The Devils" and "Eraserhead."
Yeah, I think it would be #1 on this list. I'd have to re-visit some of them before I committed to that choice, but I think it would be at the top.
I found it an odd flick. Ending was very uncomfortable and sad.
I agree. I feel like cosmic horror has so much to offer creativity-wise. And the scenes where she lured the victims into her realm along with the sounds and visuals prove this; so haunting and unique!
Ranking the ones I have seen
1- Hereditary
2- The Witch
(First two are almost interchangeable)
3- It Comes At Night
4- Midsommar
5- The Lighthouse
Your channel has helped me find so many hidden gems that I've never seen before. Thank you so much!
Top 5: Green room, The killing of a sacred dear, Lighthouse, Midsommar, and one of my all time favorite movies Hereditary.
Totally thought Hereditary would be number one. I still haven't seen The Killing of a Sacred Dear, but now I absolutely have to. I do enjoy me some Yorgos Lanthimos.
He is everything!
It's a really good film, but also a difficult one. I loved it.
thanks for the spoiler
The Lighthouse is a masterpiece
It's good.....
You gained a subscriber in me the moment you placed Tusk in your top 5. I watched the movie with my wife and a friend and they both thought it was stupid - I, on the other hand, actually thoroughly enjoyed it haha. Good to know I wasn't the only one!
my ranking, i haven't seen much tho:
midsommar 5/5
the lighthouse 5/5
hereditary 5/5
the witch 5/5
the blackcoat's daughter 3.5/5
it comes at night 2/5
merjem i agree with hereditary (favorite move of all time), lighthouse and the witch. but midsommar kinda dragged on for me, itâs really beautifully shot but the story kinda felt slow moving and the beginning with the parents i felt like it was unnecessary, they couldâve done more with it
i have it at 4/5
BHENgames the intro with the parents and sister was so tragically horrifying that it actually scared me of how abrupt and expertly shot it was. However the rest of the movie after that felt like something completely different and I didnât understand some of the intricacies of it, which distracted me from the style of horror. Certain things dragged on for too long with no purpose (Iâm mostly pointing out that fucking sex ritual). But other than that itâs a beautiful piece of cinema and I would understand that the more you watch it, the more you appreciate it.
I still need to watch a lot of A24 movies, but so far, The Lighthouse, Hereditary, and Uncut Gems are my favourites.
The black coats daughter is phenomenal 5/5 easily
@@jasont2003 agreed, that movie legit gave me nightmares which is hard to do
The Blackcoat's Daughter is my favorite horror movie after the original Martyrs and Hereditary. They all haunt me.
For me: Midsommar, Hereditay, The Witch, The BlackcoatÂŽs Daughter, (Under the Silver Lake*), The Lighthouse, In Fabric, (Ex Machina*), The Killing of a Sacred Deer, The Monster, The Hole in the Ground, Climax, It comes at Night, Green Room, Under the Skin...*= if one might call them Horror(esque) ;-)
Great idea, Emma :-) Blumhouse next?
Oh, Enemy needs to be between The Lighthouse and In Fabric :-D Nearly forgot...
I gotta go with The Witch, Midsommar, Ex Machina
Arthouse horror is on a tear right now. Love A24 !!!
Iâm so happy that Tusk was so high on your list. That really surprised me and it was so welcome hahaha
I am so happy this is a list that exists. There were a few in here I hadn't heard of/didn't know were A24 so I'm definitely adding some of these to my "to watch" list!
Yey... something to look forward to in rainy weather and home quarantine
:D
I fucking hate this true horror of corona
*spoilers* I think It Comes at Night is underrated. The advertising completely misled people, for sure, and that's unfortunate. But taken less as a direct horror film, and more as an exploration of what fear does to the mind in times of crisis, I think it's pretty great. You witness in real time the transformation of people as they start as rivals, become family, and then end up as enemies, all because of a virus, something that (like fear) can't be seen but has the power to destroy. I also appreciate that it asks a pretty simple though profound question. Is death the worst fate possible? Or is it worse to lose ones humanity and live with the consequences?
I've always enjoyed the film. Though, granted, I may be seeing it in a different light at the moment due to what is happening in the world at large.
Great list, well spoken. I definitely need to see High Life.
Also, that firm has the BEST jump scares I've ever seen!
I watched it in the theater when it came out. I loved the slow moodiness of it as opposed to waiting for It to come at night. It's rich in subtext. I think the title does a disservice to it in equal to the marketing. Rewatching during the pandemic is a good move too! Haha
@@ikesours6558 seriously. It definitely hits different, given the circumstances.
The Killing of A Sacred Deer and Hereditary are interchangeably my favorite movies! Never even realized KOASD was by A24!
Although I became a staunch supporter of A24 after being blown away by Ex Machina in 2015 and then selecting The Witch as #1 overall for 2016, it is the lower profile releases like Climax and In Fabric that are constant reminders of the bold and pioneering spirit of this studio.
I absolutely loved Black Coatâs Daughter and I couldnât even tell you why but I just loved how different and creepy it was
Alliee Raee I feel the same way about this film! loved it and canât explain it lol. Itâs so good though
Tori Morrow exactly! Itâs the vibe and just everything itâs so intriguing
I really agree. I'm not 100% where exactly it would be on my list, but most definitely top-5.
No real plot but it has amazingly disturbing atmosphere.
That background is so awesome! I donât know why but Iâm always attracted to the backgrounds of a creatorâs videos. It keeps me hooked and yours is great for this video!
I will never forget the first time I watched Midsommar. I just cried and cried when the credits rolled. Itâs been years and I still canât quite figure out why.
I just saw the killing of a sacred deer a few days ago and honestly its one of THE best movies ive ever seen. Its like a car crash that you dont really want to see but cant stop watching. Brilliant. Midsommar is also one of the best horror movies out there, gotta love A24
Great idea for a video. While we're waiting for more films, maybe you could do other similar company driven lists (Blumhouse?). Thanks Emma. You made me think about The Blackcoat's Daughter...
I dont think I could do any similar lists given this one was so short. The Blum house would have to be at least 50 movies haha!
Literally waited for this to premiere đ€Ł Yes Emma/A24 content ! â€ïž
Great job as always. Iâve mostly been a lurker over the years, but just wanted to say that your content just keeps getting better and better! I need the check out the killing of the sacred deer now
Arthouse horror is on a tear right now. Love A24 !!! There are quite a few I have not seen yet.... Got some work to do ...Need to add to my 31 days of horror list. Thanks Emma for compiling an A24 horror film list.

Amazing job with these rankings! Still a bunch I need to see. The Lighthouse has stayed with me since seeing it last year, so I would probably make that my #1. Keep up the fantastic videos!!
No matter how your movies are ranked on your list, I really love how honest and passionate you are about your opinions. Superb video!
I was surprised with the âtuskâ pick (I dig it) and then you throw âkilling of a sacred deerâ at number one! Good ranking
These covid-19 lockdowns are driving us all to a "The Lighthouse" situation lol
My dad is this close to ask me if I like his cooking.
Thanks a lot for this list, great content as always âđŒ
Next heâll be asking âwhyâd ya spill yer beansâŠâ
Brilliant list Emma, I loved 'The killing of a sacred deer', loved the mythology angle. A24 have helped to create absolute gems of film's. You do a fabulous job. Well done from Ireland!!. đ
Havenât seen you in a long time and love that you just got recommended to me!! đ§Ąâš
Of the 8 that Iâve seen, here is my ranking.
1. Hereditary- a family tragedy turned horror. Wow. Love this film. Has some genuinely terrifying scenes.
2. The Lighthouse- acting is wonderful, so metaphorical, a wonderful display of a descent into madness
3. The Witch- beautiful film, intense, creepy and very well made.
4. Tusk- funny, strange, disturbing, dumb, emotional, and disgusting makes this a fun watch
5. Green Room- very intense with some great performances, good gore as well
6. Midsommar- over the top weird at times, drawn out, but has some memorable scenes, incredible acting
7. The Killing of a sacred deer- acting felt off, simply wasnât entertaining enough, but disturbing
8. The Hole in the Ground- first two thirds were great, last third was disappointing, good performances
Loved the hyped up films: The Lighthouse, Hereditary, and Midsommar. Now, Iâm interested to watch The Killing of a Sacred Deer
i was scared you werenât going to include tusk, but literally screamed with joy when i saw it for #5!!
Thank you for this list, A24 is amazing, and there are a few films I have not yet seen or heard of so I hope to see them soon. Your video was terrific, with great enthusiasm. and heart. You can really see and hear your excitement about these movies, keep up the good work.
I haven't seen all of them, but here's the rank list of all the ones I have watched:
Midsommar (2019)
The Witch (2015)
Under the Skin (2013)
Hereditary (2018)
The Lighthouse (2019)
In Fabric (2018)
Yorgos Lanthimos might be my favourite director at the moment
I love you for loving Tusk đđ
Great list, I agree with many, I need to really think about how my list would look like đ€
Iâm soo glad I found this video. Iâm a HUGE A24 fan. Your list is pretty much on par with mine. Keep up the great work!
âI could have put it in the back to please you all, but I love Tusk so muchâ.
Can I use your line for myself whenever I have a hot take on a list that I know wonât please people? Because I loved it!
Also, I do respect your opinion. My favorite A24 horror is The VVitch.
About to watch Under The Skin. Already the beginning score is chilling...
âSo Awesome !! What an outstanding A24 List. Thank you so much Emma !!! Be safe out there.
Thank you! You too!
Thanks to your video I've noticed I've been missing 10 amazing films to watch! I must say, though, the others I've watched are the best in your list and mine, so far. Thank you very much for making this list, now I've got plenty of films to enjoy! I love your voice and the way you explain everything :)
I just watched The Killing of a Sacred Deer for the first time and that was easily one of the most disturbing movies Iâve seen. Great film.
surprised by your number 1 pick! though I agree it is a wonderful film. here's what my list would be, ranked from worst to best, minus hole in the ground, in fabric, the monster and life after Beth bc I haven't seen those ones :<
12. Climax
11. Tusk
10. High Life
9. Hereditary (I rlly want to give it a second try though bc everyone seem to rlly love it but I didn't really on my first viewing!)
8. Under the Skin
7. It Comes at Night
6. The Blackcoat's Daughter (weirdly enough this is the scariest film for me out of this whole list lol. it's so goddamn creepy)
5. The Witch
4. The Killling of a Sacred Deer
3. The Lighthouse
2. Green Room (I'm not sure why but boy do I love this one)
1. Midsommar. It took me a while to actually watch it since I didn't like Hereditary but I was completely floored by this film. hands down one of the best horror of all time for me!!!
Great Picks! surprised by your 9!
Ooh you definitely need to rewatch Hereditary. I really didn't get the hype on first watch, but then I rewatched it when my partner wanted to see it and it's now one of my favorites; I feel like I caught so many more details the second time around which made it much more enjoyable, since the first time I was busy just trying to keep the plot straight in my head.
Tusk is definitely my number 1. So I totally understand your love for it and was happy to see it was so high on this list. Great video as always.
I just watched the killing of a sacred deer and I honestly didn't find it disturbing at all. But thanks for notifying me about that climax movie! I love movies that involve LSD lmao I'll be sure to check that one out! Great video btw.
*_Finally,_* someone else who enjoyed _Tusk_ as much as i did. I guess a lot of people just sort of _"grew out"_ of Kevin Smith's sense of humor, & he's got such a _skewed_ (pun intended) perception of reality that it just feels right, & translates very well to horror, imo. Whenever i mention liking _Tusk,_ however, i almost *always* get a confused look from others, almost as if liking it automatically means there's something wrong w/me... They're mostly right in sensing that something's wrong w/me, but i don't think this film necessarily warrants that kind of reaction.
The Killing of a Sacred Deer and Hereditary are foils of one another
New subscriber! I really love your videos and the way you break things down and explain them without spoiling. This was a great list to make , HUGE A24 fan.I'm really excited to watch more!
So many of my favorite horror movies are A24 films! Climax, The lighthouse, The Witch, Hereditary, Midsommar, The Killing Of A Sacred Deer, and the ever unpopular Tusk lol. But honestly some of the best recent horror movies IMO. Good video đ
Tony collett in every movie is jaw dropping
My list (skipping the many I still haven't gotten around to. (How have I not seen Climax yet? argh)) is...
9. High Life (2018)
8. Midsommar (2019)
7. The Monster (2016)
6. The Witch (2015)
5. The Lighthouse (2019)
4. The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)
3. It Comes at Night (2017)
2. Hereditary (2018)
1. Under the Skin (2013)
The 5 that I ranked higher are all SO GOOD for me. When I was writing this down I couldn't believe The Lighthouse and The Killing Of A Sacred Deer wouldn't be in the top3, but 3. It Comes At Night is... everything... I find it one of the creepiest films with one of the best atmospheres ever. 2. [copy and paste all Emma said about Hereditary, I agree with everything.] 1. Under The Skin is one of the films I've watched in theaters the most in my life. I just can't get enough of it. I've recently started listening to the soundtrack too, and it's also so perfect. Everything about Under The Skin is perfect for me.
So yes, here we are.
It's so nice to come here and see your videos about all of our first love, horror and spooky stuff lol its definitely a break from all the craziness happening in our world today... its like we're living in a real life apocalyptic horror movie lol Thanks for keeping us sane Emma! You're an angel, a dark twisted angel, but nevertheless, an angel đ€Ł HAPPY HAUNTING and well wishes down underđ€
Omg this is the video I never knew I needed!!! A24 is one of my fave distributors for film cuz theyâre so different and unique from what we normally get to see! I havenât seen all of their horror yet but Iâve seen a good amount! Faves for me are Midsommar, Hereditary, It Comes At Night (perfect for the current state of the world right now lol), and The Witch!! I just watched The Monster in January late at night (bad idea) and it scared the shit out of me which is very rare!! Itâs literally one of my worst nightmares (alone in the woods at night, neglected kid scenario)
And I thought I was the only person who liked Tusk?
so happy you liked climax
Awesome list, per usual. I hope with new movirs being in shortage right now that you will continue to bless us with content like this!
I'll try ;)
I'd never seen one of your videos before and I absolutely love your style !!! đ You summarize so well and I love your analysis. Definitely will be watching more.
PS: Your accents amazing! I love it
I was stuck in a boarding school in the cold snowy woods of CT. Always stuck alone overnight at vacation waiting for a Saturday flight home to TX. I relate on another level to The Blackcoatdaughter(February).
Great film. Oz Perkins ftw
What about Ex Machina? I know it's sci-fi, but it deffo has horror elements, too. It's my favorite A24 movie, with Hereditary being a very close 2nd.
In Fabric was insane! I LOVED the sound design in that movie, particularly the TV ad and the fire siren at the end. Totally a trip
Just discovered your channel after watching your review of The Lodge. Amazing movie. This list is awesome!!! I guess now I officially have to watch The Killing of a Sacred Deer. Oh boy...
Welcome mark!
My least favourite is definitely Tuskđ BUT I do think it's because I really really don't like body horror. Its the one horror genre that gives me nightmares. Its why I avoid Hostel esk movies and human centipede etc. It just grosses me out and is too much to deal with mentally. I didn't like lighthouse as a film but can appreciate it as art. I haven't seen killing of a sacred dear. Midsommar is my number 1 A24. My husband and I just sat in the cinema for 10 minutes afterwards in awe of what we just watched. Incredible list I have some movies to watch as there was a few I hadn't heard of
when I first saw tusk, until the end, I was like wow this is such a good psychological thriller. I really liked it, but again, the ending was weird? however, I appreciate the film
Right!? It is definitely worth the watch. It was sad in its own way and has a lesson to be learned in the ending. I felt the same way. Its underappreciated because its not typical for the producer and his normal comedy films.
you've got The Blackcoat's Dauther Tusk and Under the Skin high in your ranking? LOVE YOU. just love you.
Good review! I look forward to checking some of these out.
I hadn't heard of A24 so I was surprised to find I've seen some of these. I think my favourite is hereditary
Tusk. Hehehe. Ok, I'll stop. My favorite is "The Witch," hands down. Next would be "Midsommer."
Thanks for sharing Media :D
Great list! I would probably have my top 5 be hereditary, under the skin, the lighthouse, climax, and the witch
Haven't seen about half of them, but I will now! Thank you for another awesome list! Oh and I also love Tusk!
YAY đđŒTUSK!
Glad to see Tusk on here. I think it's underrated.
Agreed!
The Blackcoatâs Daughter is awesome!
This is a great idea for a video, would love to see your rankings from other studios like Blumhouse or Neon
I would love to but the good thing about this list is how short it is! Its too hard to do over 50 movies.
Nice list! Although the Witch at number 8 is a crime. Lol
I watched it again last night! so great!
Hard to order them all since they are all great films!
@@spookyastronauts It's ok. I made that comment before I finished your list and you redeemed yourself with Sacred Deer at number 1. That movie is a masterpiece!
i can't even express my love for midsommar
Of what I've seen:
1. The Lighthouse. One of my favorite films of all time.
2. The Witch. Unbelievable period accuracy- love the language especially.
3.Hereditary. Far and away the most disturbing horror movie I've ever seen. I almost turned it off about halfway through just because of how unnerved I was.
4. Midsommar. Brilliant visual design and well-acted, just not particularly engaging/frightening.
5.Killing of a Savred Deer. Couldnt even finish it- characters were completely unlikable, attempt at causing dread didnt work for me, wanted to punch the antagonist any time he came on screen.
Agree with pretty much everything you said! Especially about Hereditary (LOVE that movie) and Killing of a Sacred Deer (I had to force myself to finish the movie. Absolutely hated all the characters and felt nothing for any of them)
Awesome list - I'm a little embarrassed to admit that, despite being a movie nerd and a horror fan, I really didn't know much at all about the A24 movies. You've given me some homework, so thank you! :D
That is some mighty fun homework! đ€đŒ
don't ever apologise for your opinions!!
one thing i love about you Emma is how passionate you get about movies, even if they're "unpopular" it's still so uplifting seeing you get excited over something cheesy đ
"Ex Machina" and "Good times": not horror films...but they are. "Clockwork Orange", "Requiem for a Dream", "Naked Prey" all horror films to me.
agreed, "Ex Machina" is sci-fi/horror 100%
Requiem for a dream is my favorite movie of all time. Everything about it just resonates with me. And i agree, its a horror. And the scariest part is they are all just human. No ghosts or ghouls. Just humans being themselves.
@@ashleyharris5409 The final sequence is devastating ("...she's not coming back": Jared Leto, with a nurse, minus an arm).
Tusk is fantastic and a gem of Kevin smithâs filmography
đ§ą. That movie was cheeks
It was hilarious to me but jesus christ it was weird
Perfect timing! I have two weeks off work cant wait to watch the ones of these I havent seen
Hope you enjoy!
Totally respect your placement on It Comes At Night, and I understand where youâre coming from with the misleading trailer. I went in blind when I saw it and it ended up becoming one of my favorite psychological horrors ever made and it really parallels the global pandemic we all are experiencing, we all know about whatâs going on but we donât at the same time and thatâs truly what makes it terrifying. Please give it a rewatch if you havenât already
The Lighthouse is one of my top 5 favorite films of all time now. Absolutely love Robert Eggars.
Fun fact: the kid who plays the son in Sacred Deer also plays Atreus in God of War.
cool
I liked Tusk as well but I think the context I watched it in was one of the main reasons. I had never even heard of it or seen a trailer, but I saw it for free on Amazon prime one night so I decided to watch it. The description said something about an arrogant man becoming a walrus, and mentioned that it was directed by Kevin Smith. So I legit thought that it was going to be goofy Kevin Smith style comedy about a man who gets a walrus spell/curse put on him and has a wacky adventure trying to figure out how to become human again and has to learn not to be a jerk (e.g. The Emperor's New Groove). It was so extremely different than what I imagined it was going to be, and I loved it a lot for that reason alone.
This is awesome. Thank you Emma!
