This is entirely subjective, I have placed some classics down lower because they just haven’t clicked with me :/ as well as a few down in shitty purely out of spite or a bad personal experience
Color codes: blue is for light-hearted/comedies, yellow to red are varying shades of disturbing/content warnings (feel free to ask or check out doesthedogdie.com for more information regarding a title)
Really? Love both Annihilation and Hereditary. What don’t you like about them?
I just don’t think they’re classics. I don’t think they’ll stand the test of time. Their stylistic approach will be passe in a few years.
But movies like Dawn of the Dead and Texas Chainsaw Massacre have this rawness that makes them feel more… Idk, scary.
Hereditary’s plot was a mess. It seemed like the writers just cobbled a bunch of shorter stories together. I loved the very end even though it made no sense, but the rest of it just seemed like it kept playing the gross-out card. But it did have a good, creepy vibe.
Annihilation I liked, but NP really weighs it down. They needed a bigger personality for that role. I just don’t think it will be talked about in 10 years, and we’ll still be talking about Dawn of the Dead and TCM.
BTW, Annihilation is also a book, and it has two sequels. The 2nd book is mostly a bore, but the third is amazing and actually explains how the mysterious zone was created.
