Sounds like a fun night. Oscar's lucky, I begged my parents to let me watch Nightmare on Elm St at about age 12 and it was a firm no lol. As a grown-up I hadn't found any horror's genuinely scary for years until I watched 'The Witch' and then 'Hereditary' and now I am hesitant to watch any more lol!
I realised reading this that I don’t watch horror films at home or return to them. I do watch them at the movies though. I really enjoyed A Quiet Place and The Invisible Man. I remember being utterly traumatised by Blair Witch Project as a kid. My fave horror film is probably The Babadook. I absolutely loved Midsommer too. I don’t like slashers much. I prefer stuff that fucks with your head a bit.
I have the fondest of memories watching both Cabin in the Woods and Midsommar at the Embassy to sold out NZIFF crowds. Love both of the films so much - and for different reasons. CITW was such a crowd pleaser - such a great vibe seeing it with 800 other like-minded fans…I saw Hereditary with some friends who absolutely hated it… ‘so dumb, waste of time’ - I loved it and have enjoyed it on my frequent (solo) rewatches. Can’t wait to see what else Ari Aster has for us!!
