What just happened to me?

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2019)

As many already suggested, go into this knowing as little as possible. This movie will not be for everyone. It is not a scary movie cut from today's typical cloth. It reminds me of 60s and 70s horror like Kubrick and Polanski. Smart, deliberate, beautifully shot slow burn that grips you from the beginning and holds on until they decide to let you breathe with the horror. Ari is a director that cannot be reckoned with in my opinion. I left this movie feeling exactly how I felt after Hereditary. Disturbed, uncomfortable, and knowing I will be thinking about it for a long time. Florence was brilliant at making you feel for her, while being just neurotic enough that you felt for her boyfriend along the way. Also, this movie makes you feel every emotion, even ones you don't want to! Lines are blurred between good and evil, what is ok to see or not see, and an ending that leaves you wanting more. Go see this if you want something very different and powerful. Be prepared for large doses of gore, "unsavory" topics, and non gratuitous full nudity. They are part of the movie, and I'm not sure if i would have changed any of it, even though I feel they distract from most movies. Another masterpiece by A24 studios.
