Seriously. Super hero movies are all terribad. There’s like a 1 in every 25 movie exception.
I’m hearing Annihilation is a must watch. Want to catch it in a theatre!

I finally watched It! Pretty good, some nicely creepy effects and excellent sound design. It was like Stranger Things but actually good. Nah it was awful.

Eh, I enjoyed it, but it was not really horror. It was camp. If you don’t like camp or expected horror, you’d be disappointed.

Yeah I really want to see Annihilation. Ex Machina was fine but weird terraformy biomass shit is way more my speed. I do hope it’s more cerebral than the US trailer made it look (the int’l trailer gives me hope).

It’s just a super slow burn. But my favorite recent horror movies are all pretty slow-moving too (no particular order): Raw The Witch It Follows The Babadook Under the Shadow A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night Get Out Cabin in the Woods So what do I know.

Get Out is fucking incredible.
My friends' review of Annihilation (he's literally the only reviewer I have any faith in):

Update on this: Annihilation is fucking incredible and the climax is the most visually stunning sequence I've ever seen outside of 2001: A Space Odyssey. If it hasn't left theaters near you yet, SEE IT. I don't know how a movie centered around 5 diverse female protagonists is getting swept under the rug so quickly but this movie is a revelation. I can't wait to watch it again. Also the soundtrack is aces.

I did see it. Wife was into it until the end. I liked it, but I’m not like over the moon. I want to see it again though and it was definitely a thinker.

I still haven't stopped thinking about it and I saw it over a week ago haha. Someone I know saw it a second time and said it was even better - apparently there's a helluva lot of foreshadowing and certain scenes in the beginning get entirely reframed when you know what's to come. I already figured as much because I noticed the tattoo stuff on first go-around but I am excited to embark upon that journey again. Although I really want to experience that final sequence for the first time over and over for the rest of my life. I haven't felt like that in a theater since... ever? I can't even describe the emotions it made me feel in words. It was just jaw-droppingly gorgeous and weird.

I hesitate to compare it to something like Lady Bird which I fell head-over-heels for, but they're so different that I don't think it would do either justice to rank them against each other. I don't think I could pick between the two.

Uh yeah Annihilation was fucking insane. Consuming edibles ahead of time proved to be an interesting decision.

Lol, one of the friends of the reviewer’s that I posted earlier saw it on mushrooms. I don’t think I could handle that existential hell.

Bababad should have been the title. Outside of that this list is great. Also, A Quiet Place was NOT GOOD. If you’re expecting horror, don’t.
