I'm pretty sure there's a very israeli reading of this movie. the bloodlines, the mental illness aspects, ritual murder, a weird wealth obsessed demonic cult that's everywhere behind the scenes pulling strings but invisible to the uninitiated, it all seems very... well I don't wanna say "on the nose" but you get my point
>Aster was born into a israeli family
Well well well.
Also, same thing can be said about Beau is Afraid, add or minus one or two points. " Particuarly the penis monster. Seemed like a yearning for foreskin.")
Extremely israelitey. And after Midsommer I stopped watching ~~*Aster*~~ for good.
Even the Wiki page has a massive section talking about the themes of "patriarchy" in The Witch.
I'm just not interested in that kind of movie, especially when the rest of it wasn't particularly entertaining. I prefer older horror.
Beau could have worked as a 1.5 hour movie, not 3. I don't need 3 straight hours of israeli schizo absurdism and mommy issues
>Aster was born into a israeli family
Well well well.

You will always be miserable and it's your own fault. Stop trying to infect others with your mental illness.
>if I were responsible for the brutal, gruesome death of my younger sibling who I was supposed to be looking after I wouldn’t be overwhelmed with grief and guilt and I definitely wouldn’t cry about it
Wow you’re right anon and so cool. Very mature take
Yet again, his character is supposed to be like 17 not 7. Real men don’t act like that, also yet again, awful acting on his behalf even if his character was written well.
I sobbed on my own after having my dog of 17 years put down. It was very difficult not to break down in the vet's room when they do it. I can't imagine what it's like thankfully to lose a family member that I'm close to.

Sounds like you need to man up in all honesty. I had a childhood pet die too and i didnt cry, you can feel sad without crying. And if you still need to cry, do it alone and don’t tell others, don’t be a pussy.

Wdym impress? I’m being honest, I should have clarified my opinion more, I too feel sad and cry sometimes (only to fictional media though), I think it’s okay to cry as men but you should keep is a secret and not go on the internet telling others. I don’t need to “change” anyone’s opinions, I’m already seen as the man I truly am by my peers.

well none of my family has ever died so what do you expect, am i supposed to be able to tell the future and know if i will cry or not? moron
this guy's doing some killer acting
playing the 13 year old who's never experienced anything and thinks he's tough
im 19 not 13, a grown man mind you, and you dont know anything about me or what i have been through, b***h
>Well why the hell would I know that?
we all made the mistake of assuming you weren't an autistic 6 year old, our bad
im not autistic but im pretty sure you are since you for some reason think a person's inability to know what one will do in a random hypothetical means they are autistic. what even is that logic? go get tested by ur local doctor bud.

ok 30 year old neckbeard, have fun living in your mother's basement for the rest of your days.
I remember a coworker saying the same exact thing you did about Hereditary. I asked him what horror movie he'd recommend that has better acting and he said The Bye Bye Man
Even the Wiki page has a massive section talking about the themes of "patriarchy" in The Witch.
I'm just not interested in that kind of movie, especially when the rest of it wasn't particularly entertaining. I prefer older horror.
obviously i meant in the vein of The Babadook where the whole thing is an allegory for grief and depression
vs The Witch where it's really just a story about the devil and witches fricking with a family
Cinemaphile fades Illmatic and The Low End Theory for Kanye
Cinemaphile fades AVAX and LINK for SOL and DOT
you can trust me when I tell you every board is full of absolute morons almost beyond repair
The Witch doesn't even come close to actual classic horror films. Maybe it's a "classic" of the 2010s due to it being a weak decade for horror, but even then there's plenty of movies I thought were better.

Midsommar is terrible.
Begins by immediately storyboarding the entire film so there is zero tension, not that you'd care because the characters are the most unlikable since Cloverfield or This Is The End.
Even after correctly discerning that the characters are awfully written and the script is trash, they mostly die off-screen anyway.
It's the ultimate "who gives a flying frick" movie
And I can't give it points for looking good either, because it looks like EVERYTHING else
>Begins by immediately storyboarding the entire film so there is zero tension
you saw that tapestry for a couple seconds and knew the whole script, huh? >And I can't give it points for looking good either, because it looks like EVERYTHING else
yea if i had a nickel for every horror movie that took place entirely outside during bright sunshiny days...
midsommar is just as good imo. But beau, while having great moments, is kinda about snifing farts, you're right about that. Hope his next movie is just straight up horror like first two. It has Emma Stone, Christopher Abbott and Phoenix so the cast is already a kino
Hereditary was good, but suffered a lot from obvious meddling, from higher-ups and test audiences who need everything to be on the nose (no pun intended)
The scene in which Annie goes through her mother's stuff to find a book only to crack it open at exactly the correct page which is conveniently highlighted with a literal highlighter pen so that EVERYBODY knows... made me sick.
That was more horrifying than anything in the film, and it's obvious things like these that make it such a shame that Aster directed it.
Imagine Hereditary in the hands of Fincher
I feel like I'm missing something in this film compared to everyone else here it seems
I didn't really get the hype, i saw it when hanging out with the boys and we'd read it was really good, but it just turned into a comedy once the moronic girl got pwned by that stop sign
it's hard enough to take horror seriously to begin with, once you start doing woooo spooky cult stuff with levitating bodies I just check out completely
seemed slightly over acted too
maybe I'm just too autistic for horror films, I just don't get immersed since they're wholly unrealistic, thrillers are usually the more scary ones
There's a little more going on if you look for it, but it's so blatantly spelled out as it is that you don't have to engage more than a few brain cells.
Great movie. Helped redefine the horror genre and thus it’s a very influential film. It’s too bad that Aster and A24 will put out any and all types of trash these days. I think the selection process for A24 is you walk into their office, you put a piece of paper on their desk and they just approve it. Imagine seeing the script for Beau is Afraid on your desk and thinking, “This is a great idea”.
>movie makes absolutely no sense >look up who Paimon is, a demon from an ancient religion nobody in the modern world has ever heard of >movie makes perfect sense
Ari Asslicker is a total hack who relies on obscure references to feign depth.
>movie makes perfect sense
If Paimon is freed from the host body via decapitation, requires his new host to be sufficiently weakened, and if he covets Peter's form as a vessel, why not just take him in the car after the pole incident?
He wasn’t weak enough, if they could just take someone’s body from something as simple as them witnessing their sibling get beheaded, then they’d have him possess the most top tier powerful men like the president, not some rando. Hence why they couldn’t do the transfer until the end, after lots of weakening.
unintentionally funny when the kid gets her head chopped off, rest of the movie too evil no mystery, and the audio is nearly silent dialogue with insanely loud audio inbetween
The only Ari Aster worth watching. Colette + Byrne are a believable dysfunctional couple. He's helplessly trapped with her which enables her spiraling.
>priest on fire >crawling on the walls >cultists >satanic imagery >spinning heads >animal killing/death
I love the VVitch, but this movie has so many clichés that I can't believe someone take it seriously
It only needed green vomit to make it ultra on the nose
liked it. well made and acted and was pretty creepy and shocking at parts. dont care to ever see it again just like all of these a24 films.
looks toasty
i hated the son's acting so much, no one cries like that.
I still dont understand why the son was a pajeet with 2 white parents
heh. yeah.
>hereditary
indeed.
I'm pretty sure there's a very israeli reading of this movie. the bloodlines, the mental illness aspects, ritual murder, a weird wealth obsessed demonic cult that's everywhere behind the scenes pulling strings but invisible to the uninitiated, it all seems very... well I don't wanna say "on the nose" but you get my point

>You will always be miserable and it's your own fault. Stop trying to infect others with your mental illness.
I honestly thought this was going to be one of the plotlines
braindead take
his performance in the film is peak acting, especially during the charlie's death sequence
>doing nothing but crying like a little b***h despite his character being 16-18 years old = peak acting
lol, kek even.
>if I were responsible for the brutal, gruesome death of my younger sibling who I was supposed to be looking after I wouldn’t be overwhelmed with grief and guilt and I definitely wouldn’t cry about it
Wow you’re right anon and so cool. Very mature take
Yet again, his character is supposed to be like 17 not 7. Real men don’t act like that, also yet again, awful acting on his behalf even if his character was written well.
>Grrrr I'm so tough
I think most 17 year olds would be upset if their younger sibling died in a violent way.
Well why the hell would I know that? I don’t have any younger siblings. Still feels like bad acting.
? What
>Well why the hell would I know that?
Because most people are sad when family dies. At least in the West.

Firestarter?
Is that Hereditary? I skipped it because I didn't like The Witch.
>I didnt like the Witch
FILTERRRRRRREEEEEDDDDD
I'm not in 2010s "elevated" metaphor horror.
They're compared constantly. Movies by different directors can be similar.
there was no metaphor in the Witch or Hereditary, they were straightforward
Even the Wiki page has a massive section talking about the themes of "patriarchy" in The Witch.
I'm just not interested in that kind of movie, especially when the rest of it wasn't particularly entertaining. I prefer older horror.
Why are you letting your choices be dictated by academic feminists? Watch the movie and judge for yourself you fricking midget.
>there was no metaphor in the Witch
are you for real? She is literally taking of her corset at the end
obviously i meant in the vein of The Babadook where the whole thing is an allegory for grief and depression
vs The Witch where it's really just a story about the devil and witches fricking with a family
not even the same director moron.

Just because someone likes horror doesn't mean they have to love every new trendy movie that comes out.
i agree, but those 3 were modern classics
That's very subjective.

Good movie. Too bad Aster started sniffing his own farts after it and things got progressively worse.
midsommar is just as good imo. But beau, while having great moments, is kinda about snifing farts, you're right about that. Hope his next movie is just straight up horror like first two. It has Emma Stone, Christopher Abbott and Phoenix so the cast is already a kino

Watched it in theaters, thought it was the best horror movie I'd ever seen.
Watched it one more time a few years later, thought it was just very good.

It's a plain old plot hole m8
Good family drama that labels itself as horror because it shoves 40 horror cliches in the last 10 minutes
Mediocre and unintentionally funny like all A24 horror movies. Even Paranormal Activity 3 was scarier.
