Unsettling, creepy, stressful, one of the best horror/dramas!

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2019)

I'm a big fan of psychological horror movies (not the cheesy "Conjuring" or "Annabelle" movies, although they are very entertaining and fun), and so I really enjoyed this movie, as the tension and psychological horror throughout was mind-blowing. You are forced to watch really uncomfortable scenes and truly unsettling family dynamics, I wanted to leave the movie theater from how tense it was, that's how good Ari Aster was at conveying the emotion. I personally enjoy slow-paced horror with not many jumpscares, with more focus on the creepy and bone-chilling moral dilemmas, therefore I absolutely loved this movie. I have trouble watching it again because it was such an experience for me, and I don't know if I wanna go through that again.
To summarize quickly, this is an amazing psychological experience through trauma, family, mental illness and fear, and I was completely immersed the entire time, feeling the characters' emotions and it was horrifying to see the story unfold without having control over it, making you question everything as you leave the theater. If you don't like slow-paced and usually enjoy the classic "Blumhouse" movies, you might have difficulty with this one. Nonetheless, it has been a terrifying and exceptional movie for me personally. The amount of hidden details by Ari Aster is amazing, this is the kind of movie that you have to reflect on, and research about after viewing.
