Ill start by saying I like slow movies.
I lovedIt Comes At Nightwhich is one of the slowest and most anti-climactic horror movies ever.
A24
But I did not likeThe VVitch.
It wastooslow, the ending didnt hit for me.
I didnt get it.
I didnt feel enough about Thomasin rising into power at the end.
who have been excommunicated from their colony.
Heres the trailer:
Im starting to think there are two kinds of horror fans: Blumhouse and A24.
Despite my deep and abiding love for Midsommar, I fall into the Blumhouse camp.
I like jump scares.
I like murder mysteries.
Give me a killer on the loose and a group of hot twenty somethings in a remote location.
I dont even mind found footage.
I like to be scared and I need things to happen to advance the plot and hold my interest.
It could also just be an Ari Aster vs. Robert Eggers thing.
I loved AstersHereditaryandMidsommarand loathed EggersThe VVitchandThe Lighthouse.
I really, really hatedThe Lighthouse.
Even as a Robert Pattinson fan I felt it was basically unwatchable and not scary at all.
Maybe its because its a period piece.
When I get myself into a story for an hour or two, I want a payoff.
Theres no joy in it.
