Frankenstein (also watch my stupid fingers unfollow you and refollow you like three times instead of hitting the ask button)

Frankenstein: What’s an underrated horror movie, in your opinion?

I’d say the VVitch. Not that it’s obscure or not appreciated by any means, just that people don’t seem to recognize the incredible amount of work that went into production, like building the homes from scratch using real techniques that would have been used back in the day, to the entire movie only being lit by candlelight and what sunlight was showing that day. I’m jewish so movies about xianity typically never really catch my eye, but this one was pretty good

I just saw a post on how Midsommar is not a rawr girlpower movie and actually about the danger of white supremacist cults and let me tell you I breathed a sigh of relief.

Like I did not like Midsommar when I saw it, it was a thoroughly unpleasant experience (mostly due to personal reasons) and then when I saw everyone lauding it as a girl power movie....I had to go unfollow some people.

This is a trend I generally see with movies like the VVitch, the Lighthouse, Hereditary, Us...where people see horrific shit and will be like "no phones in sight just people vibing" or "to my evil double, I'm free on thursday" and (while I am fully aware most of those are jokes) it makes me very uncomfortable cause like...did y'all see the baby sacrifice? The getting pecked to death by seagulls? The child decapitation? The whole entire imagery that cost me a night of sleep?

The only movies I don't see this happen with are ones with blatant subtext like Get Out or where the monster is unambiguously horrifying (and it's victims don't "deserve" it) like in It Follows.

I even see this happen to movies like "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" where yes, it is just girls vibing, but I have to yet see a single person acknowledge the Abortion subplot.

Idk I don't have a point with this it just makes me uncomfortable.
