people who saw Evil Dead Rise, do I need to have seen Evil Dead 2013 to enjoy it?

No but you should watch it anyway because it's great too!

I just saw Beau is Afraid. What an absolutely insane ride. It didn't drag too much, but I still feel this didn't need to be 3 hours long. This movie could be trimmed down. I was wondering "Where the hell is this supposed to be going?" and was hoping it wasn't just all this insanity for the sake of having insanity, and fortunately by the end it does lend some clarity that, on thinking back to what we've watched, it's actually really, really good.

It won't be for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed what we got. I love the themes of this movie, and I think it's something I'd probably like even more on a re-watch... Which is daunting at 3 hours still.

If you're looking for something creative and artistic, and don't mind the length, I'd check it out. I enjoyed it far more than Midsommar, but not as much as Hereditary. It's a totally different movie though. I'd say it's an odyssey of uneasiness that rarely lets up. It's a feeling Ari Aster has mastered, certainly.
