I'm speechless...
Honestly, where do I begin with this movie? I'll try my best, but there will be no promises. It's been awhile for any horror movie ever to leave me traumatize. While I wouldn't call it scary, just unnerving and tragic; you will never forget it.
There is no jump scares or any typical story about a ghost haunting - nope, instead we get a slow-burn nightmare about a family quietly going insane together.
Toni Collette and Alex Wolff are forces to be reckoned with. Both deliver powerhouse performances, which only added to the intensity. Not leaving out Milly Shapiro, Gabriel Byrne and even Ann Dowd for their superb acting.
This is Ari Aster first feature length film and already his on my radar. Aster directing and way of building tension is crazy good. Shut up and give me 'Midsommar' already!
One of the best psychological movies of 2018.
