Well pending on how I feel about Pearl, this may have topped Black Phone as my favourite horror movie this year.
Right off the bat, I just wanna say the cinematography in this film was excellent and actually blew me away. Definitely a lot of Texas Chainsaw inspired filming shots and techniques. Felt very authentic 70's as well. Music and everything was spot on. They really should have got Ti West to do the TCM film for Netflix because he would have absolutely knocked it out of the park easily. First death scene was brutal and it only gets crazier from there. I liked the build-up and all the cast were fantastic. Kid Cudi felt totally unrecognisable, I'd like to see him do more horror films in the future. Mia Goth and Brittany Snow played their parts so well. Truly a beautiful horror movie, I wish I hadn't waited so long to see it. So good to see a slasher that hits all the right notes in the current year. I think many old slasher fans will be pleased with this and if you haven't seen it yet I highly recommend jumping on it.
