The trailer bit wasn't directed to you per se, as i have seen quite a lot of people complaining about the flick on here.

If you didn't see the trailer, you are an OG, you should be able to discern garb movies like this, without seeing the trailer sef, it totally reeked of it.

Honestly I had a feeling it was going to be bad...

Even when I started it, the first 10 minutes screamed bad but I kept going because of Viola

I dey tell you.
There's some movies I just look at the poster and I'm running away from. I need trailer or soothsayer to tell me nothing. Unless, I already knew that and just wanted to watch anyway because of a particular actor.

This one oozed tons of shittiness from the get go. If I read the premise sef I no dey . grin grin

Hereditary isn't a Robert Eggers directed movie. It's from fellow horror auteur filmmaker β€” Ari Aster.

Robert Eggers also has The Witch, The Lighthouse and Nosferatu to complete his four-films directed filmography.

OMG, I totally mixed them up. I actually have seen all Ari Aster movies except "Hereditary". That means I have seen all of Robert Eggers movies, like the ones you mentioned including "The North man". I love both directors works equally, I think their style are kind of similar.

I've seen all works from them both except The Lighthouse from Eggers and Beau is Afraid from Aster. I've ed them a long time but yet to find time. πŸ™ƒ

I think they're very slightly similar in the sense that they work on horror and have distinctive styles. I feel Eggers dwell more on the looming unseen threat and atmosphere of uneasiness while Ari Aster leans more towards gore and bizarreness to deliver the dread. Aster deals with complexity and subtle themes to reveal what he's driving at, but you blink once, you miss the message and might not understand the whole story. While Eggers might field complex characters, the storytelling isn't cumbersome where you feel lost (not taking anything away from Ari).

Still I love both directors; both of them and Mike Flanagan are the bonafide present-day horror directors with an easily recognisable stylistic theme you can identify.

But after Beau is Afraid some people really got pissed with Ari Aster. grin

Β° Brodaman, Them suppose flog the director, scriptwriter and producers of A Lagos love story cuz what is this?!? From the beginning, the actors were performing like they were acting a movie, it was so weird to see quality cast underperform not because they were bad but production was not well planned. I don't understand the plot, there was no conflict, so what are they resoluting? Choice of location? Yes, we don't have the budget but make dem dey try small. Β°

This looks like a perfect family movie for thanksgiving but the stubborn execs at Marvel want it to be a summer movie.

Releasing two MCU movies less than 3 months apart from each other is not a good idea. Given the fact that you have to market both movies to the same general audience at the same time.

I have not seen Thunderbolts and you're already pushing F4. Someone should remind them that we are not in 2014 when CBMs was at the peak of Hollywood.

Anyways, we have Superman and F4 with the same vibe releasing in the same month, just two weeks apart. One of them will underperform, quote me anywhere.

"Beau is afraid" is actually good. The movie bothers on surrealism and absurdism so it might seem weird to some. Joaquin Phoenix did a really good work portraying the titular character. "The light house" is like complex and layered with many people giving their interpretation of what the movie might mean. I myself had to check online and I saw people stating what they thought the whole story is all about on Reddit and Quora. Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe both gave a stellar performance. It was really riveting.

I agree with what you have mentioned about their different styles. One thing also is that Eggers likes dealing with stories touching on the supernatural, for example in "Nosferatu", it was actually based on vampires. "The light house", was based on mermaids. "The North man" was based on Vikings(they actually existed though) but then it involved witches, sorcerers, seers and prophecies. "The witch" obviously was about witches.

Aster's movies on the other hand bothers on outlandish themes, in your face shock effect. I watching the suicide scene in "Midsommar" and I felt sick to my stomach when the elders jumped from the cliff. "Beau is afraid" grossed me out at some point especially the scene where he was struggling to leave his apartment.

Mike Flanagan? I am afraid I haven't seen any of his works. Do you watch foreign horror movies? I highly recommend "Exhuma" by Jang-Jae-Hhun.

PS: Have you by any chance seen Alien:Romulus? Is it any good?

When I watched the trailer I immediately knew I was going to enjoy it. Issue was my procrastination and the runtime didn't help matters.

You sure do take your movies seriously. You know your onions. You're a horror fan and also an A24 lover. You sure you are a female? grin

On a serious note, yep, I totally agree with you. Robert Eggers loves the supernatural and his antique period setting. He doesn't like contemporary modern era, like mid 20th century onwards. I'm eagerly anticipating his Werwulf movie next year. And I might shoot someone if Nigerian cinemas don't distribute that film next December.
On the other hand, Ari Aster focuses on shock factor, loneliness and bizarreness. Midsommar was bizarre AF when it came out and the talk of town. A movie hasn't shocked me and rubbed me weirdly since that film. That film really shot A24 to global recognition.

Mike Flanagan? I am afraid I haven't seen any of his works. Do you watch foreign horror movies? I highly recommend "Exhuma" by Jang-Jae-Hhun.

PS: Have you by any chance seen Alien:Romulus? Is it any good?

You're missing a whole lot if you are yet to watch a project from Mike Flanagan. I call him the God of horror genre presently. Only Robert Eggers I see has the potential to match him (later in life). But for now dude remains untouchable. He's so varied and excellent at his work he can work on any and I mean ANY theme, genre or setting. He's the GOAT in my opinion. He's a master storyteller which I don't think anyone in the horror genre comes close to. But his best works are in TV show format. Mike's masterpieces are his TV shows which are so nuanced, well paced, engrossing storytelling and superb all round cast. Only Mike Flanagan can have an ensemble cast with over 20 important characters and still give each of them superb character development, you like multiple personas at once.

His movies are good and can be compared to other top horror directors with films like Hush, Doctor Sleep, Ouija: Origin of Evil, Oculus. But his crème de la Crème lies in his TV shows.
If you don't mind watching TV shows I highly recommend: Midnight Mass, Fall of The House of Usher, Haunting of Hill House, Haunting of Bly Manor. The dialogues in these shows are world class. The realism, mirroring of life, philosophical analysis, and character deconstruction are top notch.

He's the Christopher Nolan of horror genre.
Flanagan is well known for his TV shows but it seems he's currently making a push back to movies with his latest Life of Chuck. There's also The Exorcist movie he's working on.

I've ed both Exhuma and Alien: Romulus since late last year but sadly I still haven't watched. πŸ₯² Romulus is in part because I want to rewatch the older Alien movies first before coming back to last year's version. But most online conversations about it is that it's one of the best of the franchise.
