I see what you mean. Well I already explained plenty of times why Heriditary didn't work for me. In a movie where focus is on drama I have to care for its characters and I just couldn't except for well you know who (or maybe you don't since you had been absent from the board when I did express my opinion on it, well the little girl). But there is indeed movies I like very much for their atmosphere where I do care for the characters: the Conjuring 2, the Innocents to name just 2.

I'm starting to realize why 2010-2019 is an option for my least favorite horror period. I really should take a look at my collection and wonder am I that different from the norm.


Hereditary hyped as the scariest movie since what the Exorcist? Unsettling nah just another drama in a horror jacket full of red herrings. Anyway it can't get much worse well maybe Mandy's first half that was even more boring.

So yeah just like Bry I'm going to skip this one and not vote for a movie I think that sucked Balls (was it Ballz choice btw?). It might be better than Midsommar or not. i'm not going to waste my time watching Midsommar given its length and that's it's from the same director as Hereditary. I have heard it got serious similarities with The Wicker Man, another flick I really found awful (both the remake and original) it's safe to assume I won't like it either.


I hope Aster moves to another genre, because these kind of flicks are really sucking the fun out of horror for me.

Oh good old Markus stalking me again when I criticize Hereditary, I'm starting to enjoy it somehow emoticon
You know sfpx thinks it sucks too but I guess you don't like to pester him about it emoticon

Well call me dramatic I don't mind but maybe I just got tired about paranormal, psychological horror with focus on drama and slow moving story, mystery etc. When a story or characters don't interest me it's going to be a drag anyway even more when it is going to take up 2 hours or more. Maybe I'm just not interested any more in all that jazz about some dramatic or traumatic event, some old dark family secret etc. I can enjoy that on occasion and a few are even my favorites (The Innocents). I did like from the never wave the Conjuring 2, Oculus and a Quiet Place. I think it already started with the characters and a concept that appealed to me. There is just nothing of that for me in Hereditary. And the story of Midsommar doesn't appeal to me in the first place so why bother?

I also tend to move towards the simpler and more graphical horror 70s style when gore looked not that clean as it looks now. Yummy was refreshing there as it didn't want to be more than well zombies that attack patients in a hospital, no deeper stuff to be found there. And not that arty farty stuff like Mandy either. But I guess this kind of horror does not interest you much. Is that out of your comfort zone?


How is it sucking the life out of horror? How over dramatic you are. If anything it's returning life to the horror genre.


Look who is over dramatic now in his defense? I never mentioned sucking the life out of horror. I said taking the fun out of horror for ME. But well I know you like to twist my words and take if for truth. If you ever plan to write or direct movies (I know you do have that desire) be prepared for much harder criticism than this.

No, you are not. It's the weakest decade for me. I own hardly any movies from this period but that doesn't mean I haven't enjoyed a few.


And yes I have enjoyed a few too from this decade but there seems to be a consensus that everyone but me and Bry loves Hereditary as if it were the re-invention of hot water. That's what I mean that I differ quite a bit from this norm.

Now go see some trashy horror so we can discuss something else than bicker over this shyte movie for the umpteenth time emoticon

This is a discussion board so I can give my opinion of what I have seen just like Bry said that Hereditary sucked and he didn't vote either.

Maybe if this movie isn't brought up that much we can discuss about other things. So I have to do with what I'm given. If you just merely liked it, you are passionate about defending. I think Box is one of the biggest fans of it but why doesn't he say Johan shut your yap we know already you dislike the movie.


Btw Aster made 2 movies so far so pretty bold statement that he is going to become a great.

And what I mean by stalking is not for this movie in particular: you do usually react when you don't agree with me otherwise I rarely see you reacting on my comments. So it's almost feels like you are enjoying it. No problem that our tastes differ we pretty knew that from day one at the old imdb hb.


But ok if it pleases you more I will just say it sucked and nothing more next time or ignore any topics where these high praised movies I didn't like. Hopefully you don't get bored of not to be able to bicker with me.

Sorry to say but if you or Nicko can't have have it that I don't go with the flow of thinking Halloween, Jaws etc are great than a discussion board is not for you. If we all sing along their greatness it becomes a fanboard.


I know quite a bunch of people who do not like Jaws. Does that prove me or you right, nope. We know those are movies that are appreciated by the majority. But yeah I expressed for the umpteenth time I do not like Hereditary as it was brought up. You had the choice to react to it or not. So now we are going that way that Nicko (and perhaps others) left of me expressing/repeating my thoughts, I'm pretty sure Der would like to hear that.

I'm well aware that stating my opinions about popular movies can cause friction but if it's not possible well I can just as well only do challenges and drafts and not particpate in discussions.


I'm getting tired of this bickering. From now on I just say it sucks and don't give no more explanations. I better put energy into tributes but unfortunately that doesn't seem to interest that many people here.

Well I would do so to keep the peace and I don't want to be the bad guy. Some people do get a bit too emotional when they disagree with an opinion about a movie which is primary meant to be a piece of entertainment IMO.

Well thanks I think it's not correct to vote for one if you haven't seen the other, you can't compare. I only assume Midsommar is not going to be my cup of tea (given the reactions I have been reading) but that doesn't mean that Hereditary is autumatically better.
