My mom of all people recommended this movie. She just went, and saw the sequel in the theaters, as her first in theater experience in 1.5 years.
Horror movies are not my bag, but this movie is really masterfully done, and escapes many of the tropes of the genre.
If you have the ability to watch it on a surround sound setup, I highly recommend it the audio mastering is excellent.
They kind of did but just as I was thinking to myself 'this doesn't make much sense', a character on screen literally said 'don't try to make sense of it'.......it's certainly worth a watch but it was by no means a good movie. You may feel differently.Watch it and let us know what you think.
Really enjoyed it and want to see the second, though I'll probably have to wait until it's available for streaming. Most things still closed where I am.
Not a big horror fan myself, but thought this was enjoyable enough. As you said it’s not your typical horror. I’ll watch the sequel when it’s on one of my channels. Can’t see myself going to the cinema again tbh.

I miss going to the movies. I haven't been since Tenet last year, where we were 2 of 10 people in a giant IMAX auditorium.
I am lucky enough to have a setup that brings a bit of bomabast to home movie viewing, and tries to capture some of the theater experience. Nothing will ever replace actually getting up, putting on clothes, and driving to a dark place where phones are banned to focus on a movie.
I just haven't been inspired to see anything in the theater yet. I will probably head out to black widow, next month. It looks like it deserves to be watched big, and loud.
I’ve been to the cinema less than once a year for the last 10 years. I’d happily pay to watch a movie at home on release. The only reason I ever go is to avoid spoilers.
The Inheritance (2020)- 👎American inherits a creepy haunted mansion in Ukraine, where some family member was murdered, family intrigue. She is supposed to settle the Estate. Mobsters or mobster-like thugs, husband is a ****. I just did not care.
Not really a horror movie per say, artistic and tried to be suspenseful as the secret is revealed. You have to care first. At least my wife picked this one, she hated it too, and it was only 90 minutes.

A great illustration of what happens when you don’t listen to your parents.

My wife and I watched Aladdin (2019) with Will Smith as the genie. It was better than I thought it would be.
Outlaw Josey Wales (1976)- watched on Netflix. Clint Eastwood in his prime. Just a guy who is a pretty good shot trying to live the American dream, gets caught up in the North South conflict after his family is killed.

Mulholland Drive (2001) by David Lynch.
This is by far one of the best movies ever made. Acting is perfect, and Naomi Watts' breaking role is above superb. Direction is incredible, so many things to notice after each viewing. Soundtrack is just amazing. It's one of those movies that will make you think. It MUST be watched without any distraction, no phones, no interruptions or anything as it's mostly about flow. Only movie that gave me nightmares and it's not even a horror movie.
(This time I watched in its Criterion Edition)

The Long Good Friday.... 1980....starring Bob Hoskins with Helen Mirren
An interesting London gangster tale.

The Vanished (2020)- starring Thomas Jane and Anne Heche. This is a drama that comes across almost as a dark comedy, about a couple’s child who disappears at a camp site, with a twist at the end, but not worth it for me. Ehh.
This is an outstanding film. Lynch is on the order of Kubrick, IMO.
I've been disappointed in the last few Best Pictures. Nomadland I found kinda boring, and I found the family in Parasite completely unlikeable. Maybe I just didn't understand what people saw in Parasite that I did not.
I have not yet been able to see Parasite as it did not play here with English subtitles. I subscribed to Disney+ for one month just to get access to Nomadland. It also has Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri which got very good reviews so I will give it a try. In addition, Isle of Dogs is there. I saw it on a plane a couple of years ago so now will see it on a bigger screen. Directed by Wes Anderson who certainly makes quirky films.
