I actually prefer the slow burn Ari Aster films to any of the shock horror jump scare films that are constantly churned out.
Theres so much absolute trash coming out for mainstream horror, that Ari Asters being mediocre films looks amazing by comparison. While I dont think highly of either of Asters two feature-length horror films, theyre art in comparison to true slop like The Nun and Smile. Hereditary and Midsommar struck a goldmine with thematic shock value, though neither film makes interesting use of its theme. Hereditary was solely carried by Toni Collettes performance aside from the decapitation scene, and Midsommar appeals to every person with a shitty ex like a Taylor Swift song. Ill say Midsommar at least had good set and costume design. I actually think Midsommars ending was good, but the ending doesnt absolve the slog of the rest of the film.
Speaking of which, fuck Audition too.
I actually like slow horror films, like The VVitch and Cam.
