me: mom, can we see an a24 horror movie?
mom: we have an a24 horror movie at home

Feels like a whirlwind of exquisite audio/visual compositions—from the immaculate crunchy leaf slathered spookdread gloom forest setting to the hazy synth soundwaves echoing like some sort of occult incantation goth chamber music.
Sinister and diabolical atmos seering throughout just solidified that I loved this movie... it’s loaded with top shelve ingredients I go nuts for from a technical standpoint and filled with occult imagery that I didn’t expect to show up at all. It’s deliberately paced... horribly for some... but just the way I like, and Oz Perkins has made me appreciate one of my least favorite fairytales by injecting it with one of my favorite modern horror sub genre excursions:

I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that this wasn’t well received and yet I am anyway, especially when so many of the complaints are that “nothing really happened”? Like, did we watch the same movie? Because I thought this was a beautifully dark and completely captivating retelling of the classic fairy tale. I feel like I barely blinked the entire time!
There’s a sinister air throughout the entire movie and you’re just never quite sure if an when it’s going to actually materialize on screen and I loved that level of uncertainty from one scene to the next. Even the few brief semi-happy scenes have a dark undertone and y’all know I love me some of that real dark shit.

Very beautifully shot. I felt I was almost in a dream sometimes myself. Shapes and designs we’re almost hypnotic. I also enjoyed the use of sound. Normally kids in a horror to me is the kiss of death to enjoyment. It retells a children’s story in an new and inventive way. The rating before the ending was going to be high but the ending was a little disappointing. As a whole the movie was entertaining though! If you haven’t seen it yet check it out on Hulu!

This exceeded my expectations but I still felt like much potential was lost with this adaptation of the classic fairy tale.Mother: "Dig yourselves some pretty little graves, and dig one for your mother, too."
Teenager Gretel (Sophia Lillis) is struggling with her position in the old world as a person who is only told she's good for subservient work. After she fails at acquiring a job, her mother accuses her of not paying her fair share and forces her and her brother Hansel (Sam Leakey) out.

YouTube review - Click HERE
2020 list - Click HEREThis is a visual feast for the eyes, especially if you’re a studio Horror fan. It comes across as a mix between an artistic attempt, and a film mixing in what genre fans love; but at the end of the day, it couldn’t quite connect the two. It comes across as a hollow attempt to bring us something different. The story goes in all sorts of odd directions, and it never really finds its footing. Let’s get one thing straight; this film absolutely looks great. The use of lighting, the film-style, the close-ups, and many of those attempts to do something different work well. The big issue is the fact that…
