mellenthin Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Lighthouse is cute, but I don't care for it as much as others do.
Uncatena Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Having recently found God, self-effacing young nurse Maud arrives at a plush home to care for Amanda, a hedonistic dancer left frail from a chronic illness. When a chance encounter with a former colleague throws up hints of a dark past, it becomes clear there is more to sweet Maud than meets the eye.

Lemon Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Saint Maud deserves more, but still solid placement. The last scene alone ( and its terrifying implications ) challenges so many movies here ( especially known top 10 colleagues ). Direct, gradual, sharp, thriller mode constantly all in function of crooked blind faith and human nature. The Lighthouse has acting and scene going on for it, but nothing inducing or consequential. The Killing of Sacred Deer is convoluted revenge plot for no reason to be this bizarre. Green Room is okay, but I would also recommend VFW for those who enjoy Green Room. Talk to Me hopefully picks up thriller/horror punch even more in the sequel.

rooby.booby Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Green Room, i love it more and more every time i watch it. This is a nice top 10!
Lemon Posted January 23 Posted January 23 No one putting The Eternal Daughter and/or Into the Forest on their lists. While I don’t care for Into the Forest like that, The Eternal Daughter executes eerie atmosphere better than many movies here. 1
genetic fail Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Night Swim was terrible! I thought it was gonna be so bad it's good but it's just laughably bad I feel bad for Oscar nominee Kerry Condon
Alaska. Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I watched The Collector and thought it was alright, but then I watched The Collection and that one is so much fun lmao. It's more nonsensical than the first one, but at least it has way more replay value
skankle Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Killing of a Sacred Deer is kinda just a worse Safe (1995) to me
El Nino Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Why does Gen Z love paranormal films so much? They're unrealistic.
