It's a fun time, but it's definitely no Nightcrawler

That's pretty much how I feel. Cool premise (possibly inspired by Henry Darger - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Darger), OK execution.

I finally saw The Lighthouse (confirmed to be inspired by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flannan_Isles_Lighthouse), and yeah, I'm definitely a Robert Eggers fan now. Better than The VVitch for me. Both actors were fantastic, especially Dafoe - all of his monologues were spellbinding. I still don't think anything touches Midsommar's cinematography from last year, but The Lighthouse has to be 2nd.

So my current Top 10 of 2019 would be:

1. Midsommar (10/10)
2. The Lighthouse (9/10)
3. Ready or Not (8/10)
4. Us (7.5)
5. Velvet Buzzsaw (7)
6. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (6.5)
7. Ma (6)
8. The Perfection (5.5)
9. It: Chapter 2 (5) (Overly long for me, almost treated Chapter 1 like it never happened)
10. Happy Death Day 2U (5)
