BONUS: "Green Room". A24 always produces films that, at minimum, don't feel like a waste of time to watch. "Green Room" is about a metal band who is in the wrong place (a neo nazi bar) at the wrong time (witnesses what might be a murder). I think horror is at its best when it feels like a real thing which could happen. Highly recommended

Have you seen the a24 chamber drama/horror called Heretic? Randomly saw it in the movies and didn't exactly love it but it made me think about it a lot after, which I count as a success for the price of the ticket (same price as a carton of cigs were when I quit, I like to think I'm spending my money in better ways nowadays)

I have, I loved it, until the ending started to build up. I dislike supernatural horror, it takes anything to "Scooby Doo" levels of seriousness to me. Throw in something Satanic-Panic adjacent and I just lose all interest.

Congratulations on quitting smoking!! That's impressive and good for you, and by extension, for the cause of Posting.
