In a Violent Nature
(2024)
|
May Leitz
|
I feel very strongly about the movie, in that I think it's cool but has a bunch of unfortunate implications for future slasher movies...

Longlegs
(2024)
|
May Leitz
|
It's trash, but good trash. It's what I'd consider to be well-made horror, and I'd give it as close to a perfect score as possible.

Romulus was generally giving me what I wanted to see...and then it came over and slapped me...very disappointing.

Even if it's not a great movie, I wish every horror movie were more like this movie. We'd all have a lot more fun come Halloween, squirming in a chair like we're meant to.

Lynch's movie asks us to interpret it as if it were a dream, instead of looking at them through a literal lens.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie mostly because it was kind of minimalist in ways that most found-footage - and I have seen most of them - simply are not.
