I have recently seen a bunch of movies:
It (2017)
I haven't read the book so I wouldn't know how good of an adaptation it was, but overall I think it was a pretty good movie. I think the cinematography was outstanding, the movie had a pretty distinctive visual style which is super rare for live action movies. I didn't find it super scary, but it had its moments when it was a little scary and it was also thought-provoking (which is presumably thanks to the source material). Recommended for everyone, including people who have a hard time watching some of the more extreme horror movies because this isn't one.
Get out
This is one of the weirdest movies, it exists on so many different levels and people interpret it in completely different ways and still it seems like everyone enjoys the movie. I'm not even convinced the creators intended for it to work like that but it does anyway. Some of the VFX was so bad that it was hilarious, which I thought was supposed to be a part of the experience but your kilometerage may vary. Also recommended for everyone.
A Tale of Two Sisters
So earlier ITT I mentioned that I liked The Uninvited, which is (supposedly) a Hollywood remake of this. I finally got around to watching the original Korean version, and now I think that The Uninvited is more like an entirely different movie than a remake, really. Whereas The Uninvited is clever but straightforward and really more like a detective story with some horror elements than an actual horror story, A Tale of Two Sisters is a mindfuck and an actual horror story, and the respective plots have hardly anything in common, other than that they're both really good. The pacing is very slow, especially at the very beginning, and I was actually quite bored for quite a while before it got going and the pace was still slow after it did. Recommended for people who liked movies such as Donnie Darko and Suicide Club.
Leap!
I was visiting my sister and her family and they have a tradition that each Friday, they rent a movie (apparently going to the physical video rental shop is a part of the experience for them) and they take turns deciding which movie to watch together, and this was chosen by my niece. I didn't have very high expectations but it was actually one of the better children's movies I've seen, definitely way better than anything Disney. The visuals look great, the story has a lot of substance, the main character is very relatable but the other characters aren't really very well developed, it also has all the mandatory children's movie clichés, I don't know how the voice acting was since we watched the Finnish dub. I wouldn't really go as far as to recommend it to adults, but I certainly wouldn't feel stupid if I was watching it on my own, and it's a pretty decent choice if you're watching a movie with children.
Coraline
This was recommended to me by one of my friends who's also a huge fan of animation, so I downloaded it from the Internetz and I also watched it with my sister's family. I liked this the most out of all of the movies on this list, it was seriously creepy and it also looked great, had great music, and a great atmosphere. My only complaint is that there was one moment in the movie where it felt like they were holding back to keep it more suitable for children where it would have felt more natural if it had been more intense. Recommended for fans of animation and dark fantasy.
A Quiet Place
I saw this in the movie theater. It was alright, but it suffered from the pretty common flaw of horror movies that is stupid characters. I was constantly annoyed by the characters doing something obviously stupid, and it was amplified by the fact that these characters had survived under those circumstances for like 16 months and I would have been able to make way better decisions after 20 minutes of watching the movie, as well as the fact that they got away with their stupid decisions much more than what was believable. One aspect of acoustics that the movie just outright ignored was the fact that you can tell the shape and even the material of your surroundings by listening to the reverberations (even humans are capable of this with a little training), and the blind monsters didn't really seem to be able to do that based on how bad they were at finding people who were hiding nearby, which is borderline plausible if their brains aren't very advanced, but I would have appreciated if it had been at least addressed along the lines of "this is a thing but the monsters can't do that because they're dumb". The music was remarkably good, but it was overused since the entire point of the movie is centered around being silent, and the music was annoyingly covering up that silence too often. On the other hand, they actually used a lot of other acoustics related concepts very cleverly and accurately, and the movie was extremely intense and scary, so it could have been an amazing film if only it didn't have all the flaws that it has, but now it's just alright. Recommended for horror fans.
