What put you off about it?

I didn't hate it or anything and I've seen worse. It felt a bit predictable is all.

It was good. More of a comedy than a horror film, but a lot of gore, so probably avoid it if that's not your thing.

Yeah, the monkey design itself was a cross between funny and creepy. I thought it was a fun movie, I definitely liked it. Seem it twice so far. Sometimes I'm not looking for something too cerebral and this didn't take itself terribly seriously and had fun kills, so I enjoyed it. I think I might just like the director's work as a whole, because I even like the one most people hate (I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House).

So it’s a comedy and horror? I don’t like horror but I do like comedy lol

Loki — 7 months ago(August 27, 2025 04:32 PM)

Yes, it's both. You don't like horror?

No it’s my least favorite genre
Murder documentaries I do like tho

Oh wow. Least, even. It's my favourite!

Yeah I figured lol.
It’s the gore that I dont like about it and I’m sensitive about that stuff. Thrillers are good though

Sometimes thrillers can get a bit gory. Actions too. Do they disturb you as much when or is it that it feels nastier with horror movies?

It’smonicah — 7 months ago(August 27, 2025 04:58 PM)

Horror films over do it and it’s way more graphic. Some action and thrillers might have a little bit of it but it’s not at least throughout the whole movie. Halloween was too much. If it’s a good enough storyline I usually just close my eyes at the gory scenes lol

Loki — 7 months ago(August 27, 2025 05:11 PM)

I see. What about non gory horror? Like ghost stories or the more psychological stuff?

It’smonicah — 7 months ago(August 27, 2025 05:21 PM)

Those are better. But ghost stories I don’t like because they freak me out too much

I wish those still worked on me.

Longlegs was the first film I've seen by him and after enjoying that one and The Monkey, I definitely need to watch the rest of his filmography. If it holds up, he could be up there with Eggers, Aster and Flanagan as far as contemporary horror directors go.

The one I like that everyone hates, is early work from him. It's very different from his other films. It's very slow (that's what people hate about it), but I thought it was quite beautiful.
