A24 Horror Movies

[miguel1984]

I Saw the TV Glow is beautiful. Other than that, it totally lost me. I don't try too hard to "figure out" films and prefer to let the experience unfold without imposing too much logic over it. I feel certain I did not understand that movie.

I read a bit about it and the director, a trans person, said that the film tried to show the trans experience in a surreal way and Owen not having the courage to transition. Not being a trans person myself, I interpreted that Owen's last scenes, stuck in a dead end job and gasping for air, showed a person not doing anything with his own life and staying in places or situations that are harmful in the long rung, something I can relate to.

Curious if anyone has seen Bring Her Back. I watched it the other day and found it delightfully dark and well acted.

I watched it today based on the recommendations within this thread. I found certain scenes quite disturbing for me, though I certainly would not have reacted the same when I was younger for some reason. Regardless, this is an excellent film, and I fully recommend it.

Here is a new article ranking them. I've really grown fond of The Blackcoat's Daughter and Saint Maud.

Two of my favorites as well.

High Life, while not a favorite film of mine as a whole, absolutely stuck with my due to the black hole scene. I have fond memories as a young man in college (Circa 2001), smoking pot, listening to Aphex Twin and reading Black Holes and Time Warps by Kip Thorne. The images (and horrors) that book painted in it's nice guy professorial tone haunted me and I never thought I'd see one such consequence enacted so nauseatingly on scree. I still go back and watch that one scene at least once or twice a year.

Saint Maud is one of the best films I've seen all year (I watched it for the first time a couple months ago). Perfect, to my mind.

I enjoyed Lamb, though I wouldn't call it a horror film.

I heard The Eternal Daughter is good but haven't watched it yet.

I want to see In Fabric. I really liked the director's earlier film, A Duke of Burgundy, as well as Berberian Sound Studio.

I've seen most of the other A24 horror films and have the ones I've not seen in my queue to watch eventually.

Update: In Fabric was excellent. I laughed out loud several times. Great film. I heard Strickland is having trouble getting his next movie financed. That's a shame. Night Voltage – a 1980s-set story of a young musician trying to get his career going in the New York City borough of Queens.

And I just noticed he had a film after In Fabric called Flux Gourmet that I haven't heard about anywhere. Strange.

I gave it a review a few years ago. Flux Gourmet.
If you enjoyed Strickland's previous films, I think you would enjoy this.
