    It may not seem like much, but putting where the films you discuss can be viewed is really next level. I definitely appreciate it!

    Don't Look Up is good, but maybe isn't a great choice for New Year's Eve when you're already anxious about what 2022 might bring 😓 I wouldn't recommend it for anyone already depressed about the state of the world, particularly the U.S. It honestly made my depression worse, it wasn't like Bo Burnham's Inside, which felt more... cathartic? Don't Look Up is more of a reflection than anything else.

    CANNOT WAIT to see Nightmare Alley when it finally opens in the U.K., it looks incredible! Thank you for all the great content this year Sarah, I always enjoy seeing a new video of yours has been uploaded whenever I open UA-cam and Hope you have a fabulous new year!

    But I’m a cheerleader is so good! So glad you saw it. One of my favorite movies I saw in December or really in the whole year is Cure (1997), Japanese horror, kinda slow burn, really beautiful cinematography. Highly recommend!
    P.S.: I hope you all saw after credits scenes in Don’t Look Up 👀

    • @roguemystique7
      @roguemystique7 2 роки тому +1

      Yes! As a lover of marvel, I have been trained to check after credits for extra scenes. I'm glad I didn't miss it too, lol.

    Super glad to see The Vigil on here, Jewish horror is an untapped gold mine but often it's done in a cheesy or in a terribly appropriative way and it was such a refreshing change of pace.

      Also Catholicism has been overused in horror. I read a explanation saying that it's more in touch with horror storytelling but the overuse of it is annoying

    Also didn't really like We Need To Do Something! It kinda reminded me of Await Further Instructions, but I liked AFI better! Love that you loved The Vigil. I watched this for the first time this week too and it was amazing! Happy New Year!

    I feel like I need to watch your videos with pen and paper to write down all your recomendations, lol. I'm intrigued by the Isabelle Fuhrman movie. I love her in everything I've ever seen of her and if you say this is her best acting to date, now I know i GOTTA watch.

    I watched Klaus for the first time a couple weeks ago on a whim, not at all expecting to love it as much as I did! And ever since I watched it I feel like I've seen so many other people discovering it for the first time this year, too! It's been added to our yearly rewatch list

    @simmsquee 2 роки тому +2

    Nightmare Alley was a completey satisfying film in the Depression-era drama genre. It had a few nods to "Freaks" and also reminded me of "Carnivale" but it was better than both in a way because it was so grounded in the hard and heartless lifestyle of old school carnies. I haven't been so intrigued by a story of self-destructive behavior since "The Lighthouse".

    SO glad you watched and liked “The Vigil.” I recommended it in comments a couple months ago. I really enjoyed it! Also, yes, Home Alone 2 is better than the first one. I watch it every December and rarely watch the original. 🤷🏼‍♂️

  • @itscinna5540
    @itscinna5540 2 роки тому

    I love these recap videos!
    I watched We Need to do Something as well, because I loved the red and black imagery, and I didn't hate it, but I didn't particularly like it either. I was able to guess some things that were going to happen, and I didn't enjoy the ending. I prefer endings with a clear explanation, and this one ended on a cliffhanger. I also really did not like how it portrayed the only POC- that was very untasteful IMO.
    I added a handful of movies in this video to my watch list! :) Looking forward to watching Nightmare Valley and The Vigil the most.

    When I was in middle school me and my friend decided to try out cheerleading, one weekend we went to blockbuster to pick out a movie and my mom not knowing what it was about suggested but I’m a cheerleader….safe to say we our jaws were on the floor for most of the movie 😅I’d probably appreciate it more now

    The Orphanage- The first time I saw it with the knocking on the wall scene, I bought came out of my seat. But yes, I guess it is suspense drama more than horror.

    The Vigil came out back in 2019, I believe, and holy crap is it so damn good and has not gotten the attention it deserves. The atmosphere is excellent and it was honestly thrilling to see Judaism as a source of the main myth and the source of the strength the character takes with him into 'battle'. The ending was also *chef kiss*.
