A Masterwork of Suspense and Unease

Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2020)

This is peak horror filmmaking. It shows true restraint in its slow build, one that pays-off immensely. I was emotionally drained and awestruck when the credits rolled. Do yourself a favor and familiarize yourself with this Ari Aster, a dare-I-say new director that I am excited to see break more and more ground. Perhaps he will prove to the Academy that horror films aren't all cheap tricks and hackneyed writing, that the horror genre can offer something truly incredible.
