Sorry for any pronunciation errors, I try my best. I listen to pronunciations before speaking, but sometimes I slip up. As someone who scripts, films and edits alone things fall through the cracks. I have speech and reading problems and I refuse to let it discourage me from making videos. I'm just doing my best and I hope I continue to improve.

Hey you did great, keep it up-very entertaining.

Again...check out "The Devils" with Oliver Reed. Disturbing to the Nth Degree.

[@chooch610]

@@ersturdevant2831 Yes, it's so disturbing that they've never released the full uncut version anywhere.

[@ersturdevant2831]

[@user-ce1qi1wg2b]

A24 is such a gem of a studio, giving opportunities to rookie directors who have real talent. They have a real great identity as a company and are just great for film.

[@W.S._Ortega]

It's one of the last studios that gives a chance to "artsy" films. Pretty soon the entire scene will be owned and operated by Disney and the era for unknown directors making their passion artsy pieces will be over. Disney even talked about opening up their own theater chain which would put smaller privately owned theaters who still play the smaller movies out of business. It's truly tragic, It's been a huge issue for a few years now.

[@randomreviews4278]

No they don’t I think their. Bad at making movies

[@nl3064]

@Ciguaphyria X plus A24 doesn't make most of their movies. They're primarily just the U.S. distributor. Most of the movies in their catalogue they had zero to do with the production (still love their catalogue tho).

[@aquacamel]

I'm glad there are people who like A24. But for me, it's a big keep away sign. I'd rather watch artless trash like Maniac Cop than The Lighthouse. Keep horror trashy and low budget and hungry. A24 is like adding symphonic instrumentation and production value to raw black metal albums.

[@m1ghtysauc3E]

I invited a bunch of friends over to watch a movie. I put on Tusk without any context. I have no friends now.

[@rrruby1377]

I'd be one of those friends who would have said "what a fun ride- any more recommendations?" ... I mean srsly, even "death becomes her" had more body-horror to offer. at least in variety

[@hannahgarcia8645]

Man, that sucks. My friend showed me Tusk and not even a month later, I got a walrus tattoo (despite being extremely disturbed and moderately depressed for the following 48 hours of seeing it)

[@barakaafrobama6519]

[@highstanturd3651]

Midsommar is my favorite one, it was so beautiful. You don’t see horror type movies with the color palette and environment as that, and it keeps it like 100% throughout. I LOVED it

[@artwithrstardoodles5743]

Herriditary has a weird connection with me. The first time I finally got decided to watch it about 20 minutes in I got the call my grandma had passed away tragically. I didn’t pick the movie up again for months. Even now when I watch it it still brings up hard memories. It’s a real good Movie though!

Art with Rstardoodles Wow thats crazy

[@kevn420]

That has nothing to do with the movie though. You’re just forming connections between 2 unrelated things which is a very common human practice.

[@Davidovar34]

That movie slightly fucked me up.

[@JulesKM]

I never realized how much I love A24 movies until seeing this video. I love almost all of these movies! Oddly, I haven't seen or even heard of The Killing of a Sacred Deer! I'll be checking that one out for sure.

[@spookyastronauts]

Hope you enjoy it Julie!

[@dirkriley3004]

It is a Fantastic movie ! In my top 3 for sure !!!

[@dangerouskoala6611]

That was the same for me as well I stumbled across the trailer while doing research on the director. It wasn’t much promotion for it and the trailer doesn’t give anything away either.

[@12xumk59]

It’s coming to Netflix this month !

[@Olivia-lj7qn]

I made the mistake of watching Tusk while I was eating my lunch.

[@spookyastronauts]

A24 just blows every other movie company out of the water, in my opinion. They just completely align with what I love in film. Thank you for this video!

I’m so hyped for Saint Maud whenever that comes out.

[@perfectscares]

It's crazy that A24 have made at least 4 of the best films of the decade! Of the ones I've seen this is my list! 1: Hereditary 2: Midsommar 3: The Blackcoat's Daughter 4: The Witch 5: The Lighthouse 6: Green Room 7: The Hole in the Ground 8: The Killing of a Sacred Deer 9: High Life 10: Under the Skin 11: Life After Beth

[@TheHHN007]

It Comes at Night is honestly my favorite horror film of all time. The amount of tension Shults manages to build throughout is outstanding. I also think it has one of the best / bleakest endings out of any horror film. He managed to create an ending that was both surprising and completely inevitable. I love that Shults refuses to reveal exactly what “It” is, instead implying that humans are the real monsters.

[@cuquestjeens6721]

Its a masterfull subversive piece of cinema

[@BadMoody420]

Fernando Haberfeld I agree 100%. The marketing was abysmal, and it really hurt the film. But going in blind is the best way to fully appreciate it.

[@asherif3893]

Bahh hated it

[@iandaniels9484]

I agree 100%🙏🏻

[@markaitkenguitar]

Went in blind. Loved it, totally agree.

[@mzervy]

I feel as though Killing of a Sacred Deer is so underrated, such an incredible film!!!! Same as Climax, both these movies really shook me to the core. Shoutout to A24 for saving horror.

[@zacgale9995]

Climax so disappointing to me... Killing of a Sacred Deer is solid though..

[@sarahhawkinson]

this video makes me realize I’m either ALL IN with an A24 movie or completely all out lol movies like Tusk and Green Room were just so amazing but I couldn’t stand movies like Climax and The Lighthouse. definition of hit or miss for me, but I loved hearing your list!

[@edwardchen9619]

I'm actually quite opposite...

[@JohnJacksonJohnson]

Most definitely! A24 has made a few bombs, but inversely, a few that are worth a re-watch over and over again! Obviously, "Hereditary", which definitely deserves be high up because it was REALLY successful on a budget of $10 million with returning just over 8× at $80.2 million and pretty much made Toni Collette a scream queen!

[@bananabob4567]

Totally agree. A24 supports so many creative minds and I’m here for it, we get to see some stories play out that we otherwise might not. Sometimes tho, it feels like in an attempt to find a story that’s “unique” and “different”, like most of their films, they find some people that cross the line into “wtf actually is this” territory.

[@spookyastronauts]

Thanks Sarah! I know we have pretty different tastes so that makes complete sense to me!

[@dusthymn8187]

Your Climax review was kind of disappointing because the only negative thing you had to say about it was that it made you uncomfortable, so it's almost like you would have enjoyed it had it not been so intense, whatever though. Still appreciate your channel

[@davidellis5141]

I found " Under The Skin " to be a phenomenal film. So much subtle tension. Truly an artistic masterpiece. 5 🌟

[@ersturdevant2831]

A lingering, truly disturbing films, like Oliver Reed's "The Devils" and "Eraserhead."

[@aaronjames5276]

Yeah, I think it would be #1 on this list. I'd have to re-visit some of them before I committed to that choice, but I think it would be at the top.

[@SeesThings]

I found it an odd flick. Ending was very uncomfortable and sad.

[@rrruby1377]

I agree. I feel like cosmic horror has so much to offer creativity-wise. And the scenes where she lured the victims into her realm along with the sounds and visuals prove this; so haunting and unique!

[@ahmado9191]

Your channel has helped me find so many hidden gems that I've never seen before. Thank you so much! Top 5: Green room, The killing of a sacred dear, Lighthouse, Midsommar, and one of my all time favorite movies Hereditary.

[@Rk91M]

Ranking the ones I have seen 1- Hereditary 2- The Witch (First two are almost interchangeable) 3- It Comes At Night 4- Midsommar 5- The Lighthouse

[@user-ui7kt4gt8c]

my ranking, i haven't seen much tho: midsommar 5/5 the lighthouse 5/5 hereditary 5/5 the witch 5/5 the blackcoat's daughter 3.5/5 it comes at night 2/5

[@orvngejuicx5686]

merjem i agree with hereditary (favorite move of all time), lighthouse and the witch. but midsommar kinda dragged on for me, it’s really beautifully shot but the story kinda felt slow moving and the beginning with the parents i felt like it was unnecessary, they could’ve done more with it

[@orvngejuicx5686]

i have it at 4/5

[@BadMoody420]

BHENgames the intro with the parents and sister was so tragically horrifying that it actually scared me of how abrupt and expertly shot it was. However the rest of the movie after that felt like something completely different and I didn’t understand some of the intricacies of it, which distracted me from the style of horror. Certain things dragged on for too long with no purpose (I’m mostly pointing out that fucking sex ritual). But other than that it’s a beautiful piece of cinema and I would understand that the more you watch it, the more you appreciate it. I still need to watch a lot of A24 movies, but so far, The Lighthouse, Hereditary, and Uncut Gems are my favourites.

[@jasont2003]

The black coats daughter is phenomenal 5/5 easily

[@gabriel6132]

@@jasont2003 agreed, that movie legit gave me nightmares which is hard to do

[@imjonjordan]

You gained a subscriber in me the moment you placed Tusk in your top 5. I watched the movie with my wife and a friend and they both thought it was stupid - I, on the other hand, actually thoroughly enjoyed it haha. Good to know I wasn't the only one!

[@ShakingHandsMedia]

I’m so happy that Tusk was so high on your list. That really surprised me and it was so welcome hahaha

[@carterslade8771]

*spoilers* I think It Comes at Night is underrated. The advertising completely misled people, for sure, and that's unfortunate. But taken less as a direct horror film, and more as an exploration of what fear does to the mind in times of crisis, I think it's pretty great. You witness in real time the transformation of people as they start as rivals, become family, and then end up as enemies, all because of a virus, something that (like fear) can't be seen but has the power to destroy. I also appreciate that it asks a pretty simple though profound question. Is death the worst fate possible? Or is it worse to lose ones humanity and live with the consequences? I've always enjoyed the film. Though, granted, I may be seeing it in a different light at the moment due to what is happening in the world at large. Great list, well spoken. I definitely need to see High Life.

[@juanmontoya7324]

Also, that firm has the BEST jump scares I've ever seen!

[@ikesours6558]

I watched it in the theater when it came out. I loved the slow moodiness of it as opposed to waiting for It to come at night. It's rich in subtext. I think the title does a disservice to it in equal to the marketing. Rewatching during the pandemic is a good move too! Haha

[@carterslade8771]

[@rhythmoriented]

Although I became a staunch supporter of A24 after being blown away by Ex Machina in 2015 and then selecting The Witch as #1 overall for 2016, it is the lower profile releases like Climax and In Fabric that are constant reminders of the bold and pioneering spirit of this studio.

“I could have put it in the back to please you all, but I love Tusk so much”. Can I use your line for myself whenever I have a hot take on a list that I know won’t please people? Because I loved it! Also, I do respect your opinion. My favorite A24 horror is The VVitch.

[@andyrankin8041]

Of the 8 that I’ve seen, here is my ranking. 1. Hereditary- a family tragedy turned horror. Wow. Love this film. Has some genuinely terrifying scenes. 2. The Lighthouse- acting is wonderful, so metaphorical, a wonderful display of a descent into madness 3. The Witch- beautiful film, intense, creepy and very well made. 4. Tusk- funny, strange, disturbing, dumb, emotional, and disgusting makes this a fun watch 5. Green Room- very intense with some great performances, good gore as well 6. Midsommar- over the top weird at times, drawn out, but has some memorable scenes, incredible acting 7. The Killing of a sacred deer- acting felt off, simply wasn’t entertaining enough, but disturbing 8. The Hole in the Ground- first two thirds were great, last third was disappointing, good performances

About to watch Under The Skin. Already the beginning score is chilling...

[@theanticriticmoviereviews5804]

Tusk is so underrated. It definitely has its flaws, but it's memorability and originality transcends even some of the most iconic horror films. It's fully committed to both horror and comedy, which is rare. I would have switched your number one and your number two, but I'm glad your number one is getting the praise it deserves. That film knew the risks it was taking and embraced them. Whether anyone fully figures it out or not, it will always be a powerful experience. It's a good thing you made this video before False Positive came out, because wow... you wouldn't have been able to say there are no bad ones on the list!

[@legendary.super.shannon9699]

*_Finally,_* someone else who enjoyed _Tusk_ as much as i did. I guess a lot of people just sort of _"grew out"_ of Kevin Smith's sense of humor, & he's got such a _skewed_ (pun intended) perception of reality that it just feels right, & translates very well to horror, imo. Whenever i mention liking _Tusk,_ however, i almost *always* get a confused look from others, almost as if liking it automatically means there's something wrong w/me... They're mostly right in sensing that something's wrong w/me, but i don't think this film necessarily warrants that kind of reaction.

[@le4372]

surprised by your number 1 pick! though I agree it is a wonderful film. here's what my list would be, ranked from worst to best, minus hole in the ground, in fabric, the monster and life after Beth bc I haven't seen those ones :< 12. Climax 11. Tusk 10. High Life 9. Hereditary (I rlly want to give it a second try though bc everyone seem to rlly love it but I didn't really on my first viewing!) 8. Under the Skin 7. It Comes at Night 6. The Blackcoat's Daughter (weirdly enough this is the scariest film for me out of this whole list lol. it's so goddamn creepy) 5. The Witch 4. The Killling of a Sacred Deer 3. The Lighthouse 2. Green Room (I'm not sure why but boy do I love this one) 1. Midsommar. It took me a while to actually watch it since I didn't like Hereditary but I was completely floored by this film. hands down one of the best horror of all time for me!!!

Great Picks! surprised by your 9!

[@AlextheAlchemist]

Ooh you definitely need to rewatch Hereditary. I really didn't get the hype on first watch, but then I rewatched it when my partner wanted to see it and it's now one of my favorites; I feel like I caught so many more details the second time around which made it much more enjoyable, since the first time I was busy just trying to keep the plot straight in my head.

My list (skipping the many I still haven't gotten around to. (How have I not seen Climax yet? argh)) is... 9. High Life (2018) 8. Midsommar (2019) 7. The Monster (2016) 6. The Witch (2015) 5. The Lighthouse (2019) 4. The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) 3. It Comes at Night (2017) 2. Hereditary (2018) 1. Under the Skin (2013) The 5 that I ranked higher are all SO GOOD for me. When I was writing this down I couldn't believe The Lighthouse and The Killing Of A Sacred Deer wouldn't be in the top3, but 3. It Comes At Night is... everything... I find it one of the creepiest films with one of the best atmospheres ever. 2. [copy and paste all Emma said about Hereditary, I agree with everything.] 1. Under The Skin is one of the films I've watched in theaters the most in my life. I just can't get enough of it. I've recently started listening to the soundtrack too, and it's also so perfect. Everything about Under The Skin is perfect for me. So yes, here we are.

Awesome list - I'm a little embarrassed to admit that, despite being a movie nerd and a horror fan, I really didn't know much at all about the A24 movies. You've given me some homework, so thank you! :D

[@briannae9213]

My least favourite is definitely Tusk🙈 BUT I do think it's because I really really don't like body horror. Its the one horror genre that gives me nightmares. Its why I avoid Hostel esk movies and human centipede etc. It just grosses me out and is too much to deal with mentally. I didn't like lighthouse as a film but can appreciate it as art. I haven't seen killing of a sacred dear. Midsommar is my number 1 A24. My husband and I just sat in the cinema for 10 minutes afterwards in awe of what we just watched. Incredible list I have some movies to watch as there was a few I hadn't heard of

And I thought I was the only person who liked Tusk?

[@psycane8462]

I really like how honest you are because most people would have caved and tweaked their rankings so that it's not completely dishonest, but won't make people mad either. I really like all these movies and they're super hard to rank, but of the ones I've seen, here's my ranking (The top 3 and bottom 2 were pretty easy but the middle four are super loose); 1. The Witch (2015) (9.5/10) 2. The Blackcoat's Daughter (2015) (9/10) 3. Hereditary (2018) (8.5/10) 4. It Comes at Night (2017) (8.5/10) 5. Under the Skin (2013) (8/10) 6. Midsommar (2019) (8/10) 7. The Lighthouse (2019) (8/10) 8. Green Room (2015) (7/10) 9. In Fabric (2018) (6.5/10)

[@espopelka2092]

i was scared you weren’t going to include tusk, but literally screamed with joy when i saw it for #5!!

[@zoeydawn658]

when I first saw tusk, until the end, I was like wow this is such a good psychological thriller. I really liked it, but again, the ending was weird? however, I appreciate the film

[@kittykixbootie]

Right!? It is definitely worth the watch. It was sad in its own way and has a lesson to be learned in the ending. I felt the same way. Its underappreciated because its not typical for the producer and his normal comedy films.

[@MediaAttorney]

Tusk. Hehehe. Ok, I'll stop. My favorite is "The Witch," hands down. Next would be "Midsommer."

[@spookyastronauts]

Thanks for sharing Media :D

[@jmason3436]

Gotta love A24 for the complexity of movies they make. My top 5 are Hereditary, Tusk, Midsommar, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, and Green Room.

[@Xeethra]

I liked Tusk as well but I think the context I watched it in was one of the main reasons. I had never even heard of it or seen a trailer, but I saw it for free on Amazon prime one night so I decided to watch it. The description said something about an arrogant man becoming a walrus, and mentioned that it was directed by Kevin Smith. So I legit thought that it was going to be goofy Kevin Smith style comedy about a man who gets a walrus spell/curse put on him and has a wacky adventure trying to figure out how to become human again and has to learn not to be a jerk (e.g. The Emperor's New Groove). It was so extremely different than what I imagined it was going to be, and I loved it a lot for that reason alone.

[@STEVEMYSTERIES]

1. Midsommar [Gory, Dramatic, Frightening] 2. Hereditary [Sad, Terrifying, Amazing] 3. Climax [Chaotic, Lovely, Hypnotic] 4. In Fabric [Hypnotic, Dark, Unsettling] 5. The Killing of a Sacred Deer [Dark, Unsettling, Intense] 6. The Lighthouse [Haunting, Mind-Bending, Terrifying]

[@jakefoster5611]

What about Ex Machina? I know it's sci-fi, but it deffo has horror elements, too. It's my favorite A24 movie, with Hereditary being a very close 2nd.

[@theballadofamixtape]

Fantastic list! Here's my top 5 1. Under The Skin 2. The Witch 3. The Lighthouse 4. In Fabric 5. The Hole In The Ground

[@Ronaldsframes]

This is fun. I’ll rank what I’ve seen. 1) The Killing of a Sacred Deer 2) The Blackcoat’s Daughter 3) Under the Skin 4) Climax 5) The Lighthouse 6) The Witch 7) Saint Maud 8) Hereditary 9) Midsommar 10) In Fabric 11) It Comes at Night

[@shell1338]

Glad to see Tusk on here. I think it's underrated.

[@kittykixbootie]

Agreed!

[@ellagigg3625]

I hadn't heard of A24 so I was surprised to find I've seen some of these. I think my favourite is hereditary

[@VAVORiAL]

1. Climax (For me, that's the true definition of horror. A realistic environment where everything goes to hell and no one has control) 2. The Lighthouse 3. Hereditary 4. Under The Skin 5. The Witch HM: Green Room, Midsommar and It Comes At Night. Man, A24 has done so many great things these last couple of years. They're fantastic.

[@RobKnapp1]

​So Awesome !! What an outstanding A24 List. Thank you so much Emma !!! Be safe out there.

[@spookyastronauts]

Thank you! You too!

[@harrisonmckinney7659]

The Blackcoat’s Daughter is awesome!

[@f3iticeira]

i can't even express my love for midsommar

[@stephaniefraney3033]

It's so nice to come here and see your videos about all of our first love, horror and spooky stuff lol its definitely a break from all the craziness happening in our world today... its like we're living in a real life apocalyptic horror movie lol Thanks for keeping us sane Emma! You're an angel, a dark twisted angel, but nevertheless, an angel 🤣 HAPPY HAUNTING and well wishes down under🖤

[@nickbyrd1027]

For brevity, I'll just do a top-5: 5) Climax 4) Midsommar 3) The Lighthouse 2) The Witch 1) Killing of a Sacred Deer

[@nickbyrd1027]

Having to make yours a top-5 showed me just how good A24 has been. Leaving off Under The Skin and Hereditary actually pained me, as they almost seem like they all should be tied for 1st Haha

[@apathy2673]

I was stuck in a boarding school in the cold snowy woods of CT. Always stuck alone overnight at vacation waiting for a Saturday flight home to TX. I relate on another level to The Blackcoatdaughter(February). Great film. Oz Perkins ftw

[@TheBlackDouglas55]

Of what I've seen: 1. The Lighthouse. One of my favorite films of all time. 2. The Witch. Unbelievable period accuracy- love the language especially. 3.Hereditary. Far and away the most disturbing horror movie I've ever seen. I almost turned it off about halfway through just because of how unnerved I was. 4. Midsommar. Brilliant visual design and well-acted, just not particularly engaging/frightening. 5.Killing of a Savred Deer. Couldnt even finish it- characters were completely unlikable, attempt at causing dread didnt work for me, wanted to punch the antagonist any time he came on screen.

[@121brunettechick500]

Agree with pretty much everything you said! Especially about Hereditary (LOVE that movie) and Killing of a Sacred Deer (I had to force myself to finish the movie. Absolutely hated all the characters and felt nothing for any of them)

[@morningowl43]

Totally respect your placement on It Comes At Night, and I understand where you’re coming from with the misleading trailer. I went in blind when I saw it and it ended up becoming one of my favorite psychological horrors ever made and it really parallels the global pandemic we all are experiencing, we all know about what’s going on but we don’t at the same time and that’s truly what makes it terrifying. Please give it a rewatch if you haven’t already

[@SethVIB]

The killing of a sacred deer is my favorite movie of all time, so happy to see it here!

[@plantemor]

The Monster - I remember seeing this one and I totally agree that it feels like it would've been better as a short! High Life - I DNF'ed it. I don't remember how far into the movie I got but eventually I quit because I found it to be way too full of itself and not really having enough to say. It Comes At Night - so, with this one I actually went into it blind. The only thing I knew about it was that everybody hated it. I loved it so much. I don't know where to catagorize it and I can't really call it a movie that changed my life, but I really appreciated the experience and the final conclusion was really haunting and had been building the whole time and boy it was uncomfortable. Life After Beth - haven't watched it yet, but am considering it The Hole in the Ground - I watched it. I have no memory or anything that happens in this film other than that I was very bored and uninvested the whole time - and there were a few interesting and cool cinematography choices. The Black Coat's Daughter - I have been meaning to rewatch this one because the first time I saw it I recognized that this was a good quality film, but I just didn't connect with it at all. Wanna give it another chance someday. Green Room - LOVE IT! That hand behind the door scene was one of the most horrific things I've ever seen. Dear god. I loved how the main character's stupidity was very relatable and you were frustrated but you also could relate to that type of panicked idiotic problem solving. In Fabric - haven't seen this one! I'm intrigued! The Vvitch - feel about it in the same way I feel about The Black Coat's Daughter. I want to watch it again. The Lighthouse - it NUTS! Probably the best lovecraftian horror film since In The Mouth Of Madness! :D Under the Skin - was a hypnotic watch. Absolutely loved it. Tusk - haven't seen it, probably never will haha xD I love that you love it, though! Good for you, man! Climax - Made me an instant fan of Gaspar Noe. I have seen almost all his films after I saw this one. I love love loooove this one! Midsommar - Didn't really care for this one, I have to admit, but I will support Ari Aster everytime he releases a new movie. Hereditary - no words needed. One of the best horror movies ever made. Love it so so so much and I forgive the cult-aspect which in my opinion dragged it down a little bit. The Killing of a Sacred Deer - again, The Black Coat's Daughter and The Vvitch join the club with this one when it comes to movies I know are expertly crafted but were off putting and I probably need to watch them a few more times to be able to make up my mind about them. Great list, Emma! As always, your opinions are fun to listen to and lists are always fun! Go you! :D

[@spookyastronauts]

Thank you so much for adding your opinions. But you do need to see Tusk ! :P

[@plantemor]

@@spookyastronauts I will do it for you!

[@dougsworld7533]

The Lighthouse is one of my top 5 favorite films of all time now. Absolutely love Robert Eggars.

[@Exosphere._]

No matter how your movies are ranked on your list, I really love how honest and passionate you are about your opinions. Superb video!

[@RandomUploads-ch3bh]

Yes...? Of course I'm proud! Please do a ranking of your top 10 horror films ever! I liked The Hole In The Ground too! Never hear anyone mention that film! I didn't now Killing of A Sacred Deer was A24?? I consider that and Hereditary to be the most disturbing films I've ever seen!

[@ersturdevant2831]

"Ex Machina" and "Good times": not horror films...but they are. "Clockwork Orange", "Requiem for a Dream", "Naked Prey" all horror films to me.

[@BachelorMachinesTV]

agreed, "Ex Machina" is sci-fi/horror 100%

[@ashleyharris5409]

Requiem for a dream is my favorite movie of all time. Everything about it just resonates with me. And i agree, its a horror. And the scariest part is they are all just human. No ghosts or ghouls. Just humans being themselves.

[@ersturdevant2831]

@@ashleyharris5409 The final sequence is devastating ("...she's not coming back": Jared Leto, with a nurse, minus an arm).

[@skijumpnose]

Was surpised at your number 1 but it was an excellent and disturbing film, My number 1 would be Midsommar or Climax

[@spookyastronauts]

Great choices!

[@melissagiajo88]

Duuuude. So you finished #4 and I said out loud top 3 were gonna be what they actually were. I’m so excited for some reason lol. Those are my top 3 as well 🙌🏼🤗 Killing of a sacred deer is SO fucking good!!!

[@darrenweber3669]

That background is so awesome! I don’t know why but I’m always attracted to the backgrounds of a creator’s videos. It keeps me hooked and yours is great for this video!

[@Keldoh3ad]

Fun fact: the kid who plays the son in Sacred Deer also plays Atreus in God of War.

[@spookyastronauts]

cool

[@quantumparadox2518]

Tusk is fantastic and a gem of Kevin smith’s filmography

It was hilarious to me but jesus christ it was weird

Great job as always. I’ve mostly been a lurker over the years, but just wanted to say that your content just keeps getting better and better! I need the check out the killing of the sacred deer now

[@ikesours6558]

1. Hereditary 2. Midsommar 3. The Lighthouse 4. Under The Skin 5. The Witch 6. It Comes At Night 7. Blackcoat's Daughter 8. Killing Of A Sacred Deer 9. The Hole in the Ground 10. Tusk 11. The Monster Haven't seen the others though Green Room and In Fabric have been on my watchlist. Like you and many on here, I don't dislike ANY of them. They all have ample depth and I like to imagine A24 has an Allegory Department.
