    Sorry for any pronunciation errors, I try my best.
    I listen to pronunciations before speaking, but sometimes I slip up.
    As someone who scripts, films and edits alone things fall through the cracks.
    I have speech and reading problems and I refuse to let it discourage me from making videos.
    I'm just doing my best and I hope I continue to improve.

      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.

      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.

      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 8× at $80.2 million and pretty much made Toni Collette a scream queen!

    • @bananabob4567
      @bananabob4567 Pƙed 4 lety +3

      Totally agree. A24 supports so many creative minds and I’m 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 that’s “unique” and “different”, like most of their films, they find some people that cross the line into “wtf actually is this” territory.

    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 “It” is, instead implying that humans are the real monsters.

      @BadMoody420 Pƙed 4 lety

      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 didn’t 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 (I’m mostly pointing out that fucking sex ritual). But other than that it’s 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.

    *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.

    Of the 8 that I’ve 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 wasn’t entertaining enough, but disturbing
    8. The Hole in the Ground- first two thirds were great, last third was disappointing, good performances

    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!!!

      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.

    *_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.

    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.

I haven’t seen all of their horror yet but I’ve 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!!

    My least favourite is definitely Tusk🙈 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.

    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.

    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.
