I don't think I haven't watched an A24 film without feeling so disturbed and give the artists, directors and everyone involved in each film props for what they've created. A24 truly is a hub for creative freedom in film.
As a filmmaker, Hope get the opportunity one day!
@Hamburgler Helper L
You already know when you see an A24 film that your mind is about to be fucked for at least the next week.
@Hamburgler Helper L
They're just a distribution company. They don't make movies.
I didn’t realize until the trailer was almost over that the same actor is playing a plethora of characters! Love this!
Haha I have a bit of facial blindness and I didn't realize it at all until I read your comment. I even had to google it to confirm.
Yeah that's why it's called "Men" same man or being with different body types i guess lol. And someone brought to my attention she is the only woman you see in the trailer/movie.
@@333funkymunky Yeah... Don't even ask me about Orphan Black 😀
I didn't either,until I read your comment.
Really cool.
Woman is also him
A24 needs to crank out a TV series or two. They’re absolutely crushing it.
They are the ones that make euphoria
Euphoria
They (if not HBO), would be perfect for a God of War Norse adaptation.
Euphoria
@@NeoAndersonChannel1 a24 would not be perfect for it since they do lower budget movies/shows
I loved this film and will watch it over and over. Rory Kinnear is an amazing actor, they both are, but Rory plays most of the male parts and brilliantly, including most together in a pub scene. It features glorious shivers up spines and the highly unexpected, plus unique extreme effects to bodies, including becoming the Green Man. It is a parable, within a folk tale, within a nightmare.
I'm sorry but I can't hear the words "becoming the green man" without immediately picturing charlie kelly
You'll watch this over and over??? wtf
@@pointmantis4829have you never watched a movie over and over again, and over and over and over again? I've watched Platoon well into the double figures. City Of God about six times. Trainspotting probably eight to ten times and Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels somewhere into the teens.
Over a period of years obviously, even decades.
Honorable mentions include :
Flight Of The Navigator.
The Last Starfighter.
Short Circuit 1&2.
Training Day.
Twin Town
Lords Of Dogtown
The Boondock Saints

@@pointmantis4829 its a great film, i have watched 5 times since its release but over and over is a little much considering the level of craziness in the final act
Wow. Thanks. I will pay for it on Prime now than. Wasn’t sure it was gonna be worth it. But I’ll deff watch it. Trailer was super good.
Rory Kinnear is an incredible actor, see his work in Black Mirror and Penny Dreadful as proof. This film looks fascinating
The trailer looks dope! I might watch the movie
Xavier is that you 🤨
This is definitely his moment to shine similar to James mcavoy from Split.
Rory is basically doing what Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers did, in the most disturbing frightening way possible. I’m glad I discovered him on penny dreadful. He was one of the only best parts and I found out his father looked just like him and was in some of my favorite older movies. Everytime I see him, I just see Rory in the 70s
He is superb in Penny Dreadful!
He was filming in Leeds last week and he walked over and got into a van right in front of me. I was starstruck!
Finally Rory Kinnear is gonna get some well deserved attention! Same goes for Jessie, she's been killing it in all her roles.
I have been seeing Kinner everywhere for a few years tho
I absolutely loved him in Penny Dreadful
she's a queen. i've been following her since I first saw her in Beast back in 2017, and she just delivers one great performance after the other. So glad she got nominated for Lost Daughter after being snubbed for Wild Rose. Plus Chernobyl. A. QUEEN.
I can’t get over his role in black mirror
Repent to Jesus Christ

amazing film. First it was creepy, then scary, then ridiculous, then psychological, then metaphysical... a true work of art
No , just no
This movie sucks. U are nothing special for calling this art
@@typicalsweg5290 hahaha This movie was F'n Bonkers .. 10 / 10 Epic cinema
@@typicalsweg5290 this movie was so good. Really enjoyed it.
My problem is the film feels like it’s pushing the message that all men are bad.
This is a piece of art, every moment is so well performed and the acting spot on. From when the arm split in half the movie takes a very, very disturbing turn. Never saw something like this ever before. A true masterpiece.
I first saw this trailer in the theatre. Everything was intense and I thought the movie looked really scary. But then the title card showed that the title was "Men" and everyone in the theatre burst out laughing.
THAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY 😭😭 MY FRIENDS STARTED LAUGHING
same exact thing happened to me on friday lmao
Because there’s zero subtlety or nuance in the intended subtext. It’s completely over the top and obnoxious from a marketing standpoint, maybe that was the intent.
Says a lot right there
@@Kerunou i also feel like based on the directors past work, the title isn't literally just going to be that on-the-nose in regards to the actual content of the film. im sure it'll deal with gender, but if you think its just gonna be 'big bad men are scary to poor innocent lady', id say look at annihilation. much more nuanced and thoughtful than that.
A24 is definitely arguably the most innovative studio currently when it comes to their films, especially their horror.
They didn't produce this. They're just distributing it in North America. People give them too much credit.
@@CarlHH777 same for Netflix and Amazon Prime video
I agree with this statement. They are amazing whether or not they are producing or distributing.
@@CarlHH777 Even if they don't produce everything they put out, by distributing they still do a lot of good. They're currently one of the most interesting film studios out there, that doesn't just poop out big-budget blockbusters every few months
@@CarlHH777 but A24 isn't going to associate with a film that's not hitting their standards of quality/expectations
I was captivated watching this the first time, as a female I understand to be honest but it was more like being stuck in a horrific nightmare…I love horror and disturbing stuff! This film and Mother! Are my top ones. 10/10 from me. The deeper meanings are amazing and doesn’t rely on screaming teens, slashing people or jump scares, it’s just intense in its own unique way!
I mean it has some good themes but it's not amazing or anything, and the themes that are shown have been done MILES better than this. The beggining was also a bit boring and not really scary. 5.5/10 for me.
Yasss double down into your hateful bigotry
Hearing you mention 'Mother!' after seeing this is a brilliant comparison, 'Mother!' is a personal favorite and now this one is too.
I'd recommend watching 'The Menu' if you like those 2 films.
You're right
@@enzobuso5933 what good themes?
I just ordered this, I hope it's as good as it looks. It has to be with Jessie Buckley in it. Not only has she become a great actress, she's a hell of a singer !! I love her !! Not in a creepy way !! ❤
What did you think?
@@MoviesAtTheBarhis silence says everything mate
You know A24 is still on their game when you watch a trailer for a new release, have no idea what is going on, but still remain absolutely curious and eager to dive in and unravel what is shown to us. Cannot wait!
Exactly! I was excited for Midsommar. It looked mysterious and was intrigued
It's almost like trailers are supposed to be just that! I hate when I watch a trailer and they give away the whole plot in 3 min, I usually say "well no need to watch it now" so refreshing to see great trailers.
What do you mean nobody has an idea of what's going on in this movie ? Everyone knows it's another feminist woke garbage movie
@@RiskyOpinions so don't watch it? No need throw your two cents in when others clearly like the plot.
@@Jetsua02 oh you mean woke clowns likes the plot oh now i understand
As a creepy horror fanatic I don’t scare easily, yet even A24 trailers give me such creeps. Can’t wait to watch. Love Jessie Buckley, you can’t take eyes off her in every role.
Give Jessie Buckley and Rory Kinnear some dang awards please!! These two are phenomenal!
I don't think a director has ever utilized Rory Kinnear like that. Godspeed Alex Garland, you supple genius.
Supple?
Subtle is what you're looking for, mate.
A24 are absolutely killing it with the stuff they're producing. Like a mini-golden age of cinema, right here.
They are a distribution company, not a production if I recall correctly.
Some of it is just fake art school wankery. You have to learn to tell the substantial from the merely stylish.
@@pyenapple yeah like lamb was bad and so was saint maude
@@3layerdipstack726 exactly. There’s A24 stuff that *looks* good and is basically crap. And there’s other stuff that’s actually decent
@@3layerdipstack726 it's not bad, just not meant for you.
If someone complains movie's have lost their originality, show them this.
Alex Garland has quite the creative mind. This movie gave me classic Cronenberg vibes.
If he made it it’ll be shockingly bad
Delighted to say I saw this film with no prior knowledge, not even trailers so certain bizarre concepts revealed themselves very much as the writer intended. Loved it
This trailer sent shivers down my spine once I saw Rory Kinnear in multiple roles, this looks genuinely like uncanny valley level scary
agree it looks amazing & Jessica"s "Scream" is perfection
I really like how they incorporated the “Hello” she shouted when she was standing near the tunnel into the background music of the trailer.
Looking forward to seeing Rory Kinnear’s acceptance speeches for best actor in a leading role and best actor in a supporting role.
All horror movie trailers do this shit nowadays its kinda played out, esp a24 films
@@shaukahodan2373 LMAOOO
Jokes aside rory kinnear is a phenomenal actor and I really hope he gets his dues. Criminally underrated
A24 have always done this. From Hereditary's click sound and Midsommar's hoha breath.
@@joshuaramon123 That’s so cool. I’ve noticed it in other music scores except for Hereditary. I have yet to see that film. I planned on watching it when it was first released on digital but that movie has escaped me. From what I’ve heard it’s a pretty damn frightening, disturbing, and all around creepy movie that stays with you for a while.
All I can say.. Strange. I'm going to bed with that last scene well engraved in my head. Tnx 🤣
I’ve learned not to doubt my instincts anymore when I watch trailers and I’m glad I didn’t disappoint myself.
I went to Wikipedia after watching the first few minutes of the film. Didn’t bother coming back.
I thought I was losing it when I first thought, "is that the same guy?" This looks very unsettling and I'm ready!
I'm not sure why its so unsettling. I mean its not unusual for an actor to play multiple characters in a movie, but for some reason in this it feels really wrong... in a good way.
With my crappy eyesight I had to check the comments to make sure I wasn't tripping haha!
I thought they had just reused the same actor at first xD but thats the point
@@Tyger20 what's unsettling about it is that it's not always the same body type with his face so there is some weird visual stuff going on with how they put his face on different people. It's kind of like a lifelike mask of his face on other people which gives it a really creepy augmented reality to the different people with the same face.
@@holdwhatdoor7629 I think you're right.
I don't know how Alex Garland writes movies with the smallest amount of people possible and still make it feel like a whole 'nother universe.
World building innit
That must be part of the secret, right? By limiting the scope of the movie with a small cast of characters, he's able to go all in on fleshing out their personalities and individual experiences of the world he creates, which makes it seem more real to us, the audience.
It's the inner life. The characters have complexity and dimension.
@@latentfuss711 I bought the Ex Machina screenplay and it’s actually amazing how simple and short it is. Yet the movie is so brilliant and thought provoking. Alex is so good
For real, after Ex Machina and Annihilation i am expecting so much from this movie
I got introduced to a24 two years ago and I have been going through their backlog of movies and the number of movies they have knocked out of the park is truly something incredible.
after watching this movie i just wanted to feel pure again LMAO
“You must wonder why you drove him to it.” That line is the reason I have to watch this movie.
So much gaslighting.
@Jonathan Walker The priest is suggesting that it's her fault. He's gaslighting her.
@@rodtaylor5476 Yeah when I heard that line I made a mental note 📝 “Oh yeah May 20th gotchu”
She probably pushed him.
@@CAPTEINRIGGS You must feel an awful sense of...guilt
Rory has been extraordinary for a long, long time- on stage AND screen, and even on tv. He can do it all- drama, comedy, horror, everything. I’ve been a massive fan of his for years. Jessie as well- same thing. Both exquisite theatre actors. This is going to be extraordinary!!!
Just watched this on Amazon and it was a true suspenseful masterpiece. Beautifully shot and was visually pleasing all along while being disturbing and actually horrific once it got further into the plot. The story was phenomenal and everyone who likes a good horror thriller needs to see this. Would watch this a million more times 100/10
Rory Kinnear Is so underrated, and once you notice him, he is everywhere, brilliant actor.
A24 logos made for just the trailers are always so pretty and unique, I wish they used them in the final product more
I love when they used it for Mid90s
It would made no sense at all to use such a gimmick on an actual film
Your moms unique
@@Mmxxaamm You do know how many films have a unique logo in the opening credits right? It’s been done by most major studios. Disney, Warner Bro’s, and Universal all change up their logo opener for certain movies. Why doesn’t it “make sense” for A24?
It'll be amazing. I think Alex Garland is an incredible director, Jessie Buckley and Rory Kinnear are great actors and A24 are an amazing studio. This is one of the most original premises for a film I've seen.
Really? Original? It's the same theme it's been explored in every Hollywood movie since like 2016
@@penske_material Any examples?
@@The3Joker Also interested to hear these examples!
This is basically if Anomalisa (2015) was given a horror scenario. No judging, love Anomalisa and Alex Garland can do no wrong!
@@MumRah357 The first thing my mind thought of was Anamolisa !
Have to say it that every A24 film has Good Cinematography ❤️ Ari Aster, Alex Garland, Ben Salisbury, Geoff Barrow and Rob Hardy!
2:07 that scene transition where you see all the cosmos was the coolest thing ever in the theatre
Jessie Buckley!!! she deserves more recognition than she's gotten. one of the best actors working today and such a chameleon.
Same with Rory Kinnear who is the other main actor in this. Playing all the different men in this film.
She was absolutely superb in Chernobyl
@@jewishmafia9801 and I'm Thinking of Ending Things!
@seraphic I always thought she was English, her accents are flawless...one of the best actors out there
I've not seen Chernobyl, but she was superb in The Lost Daughter, I'm Thinking of Ending Things, Fargo and of course, Wild Rose. Such talent and versatility.
This looks awesome, not just conceptually, but this seems like a completely different film from Garland’s previous features, Ex Machina and Annihilation. I really love directors who leave their comfort zone and try something new
Both of films you previously mentioned are each different ,so not sure what comfort zone you are talking about
comfort zone lol
@@blopp6240 well he is saying he loves when directors leave their comfort zone in general, just saying that it is cool to see them trying new shit, Alex is always trying new shit and that is cool. Honestly I get where he is coming from too, his earlier films seem a bit more cerebral and less horror-y like this seems. Everyone should also watch Devs, what a show.
Devs TV show was definitely a continuation of his God and the Creation theme. How both react to the other.
Annihilation was also about creation and the reaction to one another. Human being and alien being.
This appears to be the same theme, for me, just woman and man for woman is the creator of man, a potentially dangerous entity to her.
They’re both science fiction.
Not surprising anyone, Alex Garland with another homerun, what a great movie
This movie and the message behind it was great. I am so glad that folk horror is getting more and more common. Also Ari Aster with Hereditary and Midsommar did an amazing job. I love such horror movies which haunt you psychologically and aren’t just dumb nonsense about a guy with a knife hunting people down or a ghost story with 5 jumpscares within a minute. Nice to see some really good horror once in a while :)
Agreed ... I loved this movie, especially the crazy ending.
check out Moloch
@@nighter9916 thx for the tip
Calibre, The Ritual, Suspiria, Spring - all worth checking out
the misandrist message behind it?
To anyone who might be wondering, the song playing through out the trailer is:
Leslie Duncan - "Love Song"
- An absolute gorgeous hidden gem of the 70s.
Nice cover of Elton John's song!
@@SabrehamLincoln - Its actually the other way around. The song was written by Duncan and then later covered by Elton ;)
Start = Duncan, End = John.
Same as in the movie

Alex Garland always seems to put deep meanings in his works, especially with the series DEVS. I'm looking forward to this
Yes, there's a lot of meaning in Ex-Machina and Annihilation thus why those movies have become modern classics
Is Devs worth finishing? I know it got cancelled after a season, so I'm just wondering if the story is pretty complete as is? I remember it being rather slow about halfway through
@@Dolan.Lovendahl_Presents yes it's definitely worth finishing off 👌🏽

@@ReviewsRankingswithRobbySobel to be even more honest. Most of them Strike Gold. Even if Its Indifferent, Neuteral Gold.
Have Only Seen Two that missed the target Completely
I watched this movie today and absolutely loved it. Alex Garland is a genius. Love all his work.
Rory Kinnear's performance is amazing. Such a great actor and such a great movie...
A lot of talk about Rory Kinnear but after seeing “I’m Thinking of Ending Things” I’m very excited myself to see Jessie Buckley in a new performance.
It’s likely because he has yet to have widespread recognition and Jessie was just recently an Oscar nominee.
That book and that movie were absolutely amazing. Idk why people like to say “the books better” because the movie was loads better! It was very well done. I wouldn’t call it a horror though, a thriller or psych thriller more proper
@@quasar960 both of them were good for about 75% of the story and then they both turned into garbage at the end in the same way
A24 needs to have its own streaming service and that’s it
As in so I have the choice not to pay or see anything about these movies ever again
Great idea
Netflix should become their exclusive streamer
Maybe they don't have projects enough to start something like that, the most stable on this moment is to sale for other streamings plataforms
@@ander323 they got like what 50 movies at this point ? That’s enough
10 out of 10.

Strongly recommend a stay there
Loved it! All of Alex Garland's films revolve around the dynamics between men and women and how the love or fear between them drive the characters.
Not sure this applies to Dredd lol
@@gilesdavis4678 Clearly an exception but another movie I love very much for what it is. Very fun! There is surely tension between Dredd and his young female partner but nothing on the scale of Men, Ex Machina or Annihilation. I should also point out the recurring theme in those three relating to an alien intelligence wanting or pretending to be human, and doing so through that male/female tension. Good stuff!
"dynamics between men and women" ahahahahahahah

Right!! Kind of reminds me of 'Split' and James McAvoy was great in that so have great hope for Rory here
@@SniP3rHavOk oh yeah! James McAvoy was awesome in "Split." It's going to be fun (and a lot disturbing) seeing Rory in this role(s).

Rory Kinnear - I loved him as Creature in Penny Dreadfull and I am excited to see him him playing almost all the roles here 🫶🏻
This movie has the best sound design I've ever heard In a trailer bro it's looks so good
Agreed
I agree! And The Green Knight also had an excellent sound design!
@@theoporcet yes green knights sound design was amazing I also thought x good sound
Alex Garland's projects are always setting the bar for new sound design. How many movies copy the Annihilation synth wobble now. The tremolo voice modulation from Devs, etc...
It's difficult to distinguish what is score and what is sound design. I would say this most applies to Annihilation. Garland is a very humble director, but these things are not by coincidence.
Walked out of the theatre a few hours ago and still thinking about this movie. Really great cinematography, atmosphere, and interesting and compelling storytelling. Anyone who just writes off the movie as "oh its man hating" misses a lot of what the movie is trying to do. A story about grief above everything.
Yes. A killer with many faces in all the men she talks to. Totally not motivated in a certain view of men.
1-10 what would you rate this movie?
@@willardrobinson6234 I give it an honest 7.5/8. I have to rewatch it again forsure.
@@MapleGenesis does this movie show any form of sexual assault?
Thanks OP!
Just saw the trailer and some comments, was curious what someone who saw it thought. 😁👍
Critics shat on this movie but I love it for its boldness, its abstraction and metaphors. Even if the title sucks (it really is not a good movie title; it feels like an eyeroll elbow jab) and the men metaphor seems on the nose, I still love it. The birthing scene is amazing.
So original! Traumatized woman, all men are mean and all female are angels. I won't lose for sure!
Now I'm gonna do the remake reversing the roles. Hey, guys, will you watch it??

Word to the wise:
Finish your popcorn before getting to the ending.
Just saying.
It's a brilliant film, easily the best horror film released since Midsommar. There's just one issue that I have with it, which is the somewhat cop-out resolution, which is flatly prosaic and, interpreted as it seems to wish to be, undermines the narrative and atmosphere of the preceding film. But if you ignore the last few minutes, it is a masterpiece of atmosphere and originality.
Spoilers for both Men and Watcher (I watched them both in the theater recently):
The one thing I didn’t quite like about it is that it invites an interpretation that none of it happened as we were shown. The only part that is “independently confirmed” (ie witnessed by a pre-established third party, her friend) at the end is the car crash. I think this is great to have with movies like The Shining, Blair Witch Project etc going back to novels like Turn of the Screw where you can leave the audience guessing how much of it was really supernatural.
However the idea of “it was all in her head” would completely undermine the entire theme of the movie for me, and while I generally love open-ended endings, in this case I wasn’t sure if I liked the implication that the conclusion could be ambiguous in that specific way.
Compare with the conclusion of Watcher wherein the entire movie till that point is defined by ambiguity as to whether she’s imagining the threat, and then you walk out of the theater completely, thoroughly reinforced that the threat wasn’t all in her head which turns out to be the entire point of that movie.
I’m not saying I didn’t feel there was room for some ambiguity at the end of Men but it felt a little bizarre to leave us with that possibility - it deliberately shows us that the only thing an impartial observer witnesses by the end is something entirely of this world, in contrast to what the protagonist has been dealing with for the entire movie. Perhaps if she had been seriously wounded in some bizarre and inexplicable way in the process of defeating the threat, and that wound were visible as well, that would at least solidly reinforce that she’s been through a grueling experience beyond just crashing her car. Even better would be some sign of her victory like, let’s say, all the clothes of the various personas strewn about her lawn. Visual confirmation that _something_ happened beyond just a car crash.
Who knows, maybe showing the car was the director trying to do exactly that - but I would’ve liked more, I guess.
@@blazaybla22 I totally agree with you. The 'it was probably all in her head' possibility was the lamest way possible of ending Men. The intensity of its persecutory and supernatural atmosphere, with its various Occultist and folk mythological motifs, would suggest things haven't happened in her head, and she has genuinely entered some kind of otherworld: which wouldn't have represented itself after all that's happened during the climax in the overly prosaic and easily interpretable way it does to the main character, with her dead husband returning to tell her what he's told her anyway earlier in the film. Those last few minutes suck. It feels like a tacked-on ending forced by a distributor to make the film more digestible to lazy viewers.
@@blazaybla22 you may have forgotten all the streaked blood on the floor viewed by said third party
The only thing missing was better story telling at the end... Also the effects... the body horror born kinda thing after 2x i actually said Enough already stop it loud in the cinema ;) Ugh! The scary part for me is trying to figure out where i got lost in that movie.. I think I got lost when she walked back from the pub.. Why didnt she had a drink?

A24 horrors are on another level. These movies are always making me feel uncomfortable and disturbed. These are just masterpieces.
I love a24 films and saw this in theaters off 2 edibles was absolutely terrifying, the ending really caught me off guard
Same. I was on so many edibles 🤣 the ending I was both cringing (I'm a mom) while also dying laughing of delight seeing a man go through that. And they did such an awesome visual job
the trailer was better than the actual film
Agreed the film was horrible. It wasn’t even an actual movie it was an art piece.
I love everything A24 produces because it's all packed with symbolism making them stand out than any other company.
i feel like this has to be based around adam & eve somehow !!
Right? Like here they are clearly taking the greatest thing to ever exist and exploring the possibility of horror coming from it
I can definitely see that. The reoccurring of the apple connects with Adam and Eve. I always feel like I’m in literature class while watching most A24 movies.
@@lolOloveOlol21 yes!! he also referred to the apple at one point as the forbidden fruit , which of course is what they called the apples in the bible. i feel like it’ll have some play on how adam & eve were cast out of eden & paradise was lost , hence her husband falling from the roof , & now she’s experiencing everything in the movie. i also think the title “man” has something to do with that as well since man is the origin of life in the bible… just a theory !! :)
Is he satan? Looks great
This looks amazing, doesn't look like a Hollywood film and makes me think about Persona, but in the 80s. Alex Garland always delivers, he's probably one of the best Hollywood directors of his generation, but still needs to break some more rules to really make it. He's getting close
Seeing Alex Garland's name attached to a movie is enough to make me watch it. His work never fails to impress and always stands apart!
It gave me Get out ‘s vibe , and that’s good .
Are you talking about Ingmar Bergman’s Persona?
Alright so this movie,
Midsommar
Mother!
Are by far the STRANGEST movies I’ve ever seen. This movie was so creepy i had to pause it to collect my thoughts.
I have saw many mixed reviews can you tell me is it watchable or not
@@candy5107 probably not
I need an Explained video assp... I have no clue what I just watched
Same bro
since Midsommar from A24, i make a promise to myself that anything A24 releases, i have to go see it. Hereditary is still the best psychological horror for me. Watched X days ago, it was great!
all their movies are calm, disturbing and aesthetic as always! Im looking forward to see your next product A24! Thanks for giving the audience great experience as usual!
I'm not exaggerating when I say Hereditary literally scarred me for life.
@@forrestrichard8133 Why? Hereditary was the most boring, slow and non-eventful piece of crap I've ever seen, not to mention bad storytelling. And Midsommar was garbage. No mystery, twist or any kind of meaningful character development. You just watch it play out knowing exactly what's coming next and then it's over.
@@linotheundead the movie have so many small details that if you watch only once, you wont notice. theres so many vids explaining the plot. If you prefer cheap jumpscares, go watch insidious series. These movies are made to not scare you right in the face, but rather give you a psychological haunting exp. Watch some explanations, you will see lots of details are missable but its always there, which makes A24 movies brilliant
Sorry but X was dire, I’ll never forgive that movie for forcing me to sit through a scene where two very old people have sex. It was also so random and the ‘twist’ at the end was really weak.
@@forrestrichard8133 If Hereditary scared you, go watch Climax, by Gaspar Noé, or if you're feeling adventurous watch instead Irreversible, by the same director ;)
finally a movie about my people
Saw this dude first in Penny Dreadful and he is a truly great actor
I watched without seeing any trailers. This movie was awesome!
Annihilation is one of the most underrated films ever. Always Love what this director envisions.
Yes, that movie never got the acknowledgement it deserved.
Ikr!!
Ex Machina too
Annihilation is highly rated
@@mauk2009 ex machina had academy recognition
It’s the kind of horror I’m obsessed with. I can’t wait to see it in the theaters
Everytime I choose some random movie to watch, I get movies like this. Don't know what to say about movie, creepy atmosphere all the time, I like that. Sometimes nothing special happens but u can feel that intense. The ending was like, what on earth just happened
this left me feeling unsettled, disturbed and wanting more. i can’t wait to watch this!
The first trailer was intriguing but I was still hesitant. After this trailer, I'm fully on board.
Its so cool to have a company like this produce so many high quality horror movies aimed at adults. Its a nice break in the sea of superheroes.
Guys I'm 20 minutes into this film and I had to pause it because I'm sitting here in the kitchen absolutely petrified and freaking out. EDIT ... I'm sorry guys absolutely no freaking way... this is bad for my mental health... I'm switching this off and going to have to watch at least three episodes of Friends to get over this.
can't wait to watch some a24 films with my mom these trailers look too good😭
Living for A24 these days. Thank you carrying the light of cinema forward!
It seems themes are drawn from the saying "all men are alike" in a psychological, possible sci-fi approach. Garland does a fantastic job at shedding light on truths grounded in reality and meshing them with hypothetical truths; often checking off boxes that classify his work as sci-fi, while establishing new trends that raise the genre as a whole. There is a reason that sci-fi enthusiasts love his work.
@Angelo Griffith Looks like we need even more of it, Angie
@Angelo Griffith Conservative snowflake spotted, please be triggered elsewhere
@Angelo Griffith It's like you all read straight from a script. Eerie
@Angelo Griffith Lmao are you a character in the movie?
@God Lee Hope it doesn't hurt your fee fees :((
the things i have seen in that trailer wants me to be yeeted out of a window like simba
It’s still expensive to rent this movie online like 19$ Huhu will wait in a few weeks maybe love this movie
Every time A24 comes on screen I know it's going to be something spectacular. They do disturbing imagery and horror better than anybody else.
@bouytt guyt Alex Garland is making the movie, not A24. It's a bit odd that everyone's calling this an 'A24 movie'
It justa you stay? Or
@@Tobias_R because it is an aA24 movie what part of that did you not understand you see the first thing that comes on the screen the studio that made the movie is A24 the director that they hired is Alex Garland.
@@theprotagonist6799 No, it's Garland's story and his film. He wrote and directed it. A24 are distributing.
@@Tobias_R exactly you just prove my point thank you very much so I don't even have to say anymore it's an a24 film thank you
A24 are damn near, if not already, masterful at crafting engaging trailers. Having said that, it's because they're so good I have to temper my expectations before watching their horror stuff or anything they advertise as more action oriented (like "The Green Knight") just cuz they're a mixed bag for me outside of their dramas. That said, definitely keeping an eye out for this!
I do get what you mean... Buy saying that, having watched enough of their movies now, I know I'm not going to get what was advertised. This is why I enjoyed The Green Knight.
To each their own, though.
I do highly recommend Everything, Everywhere, All At Once.
ok i thought this was a car commercial at first
LOL
watched this high af in the movies, dont regret it lmao
A24 makes the best films
What a trailer!! Ominous, sinister & unsettling... Alex Garland is a brilliant director. Needless to say, I will definitely be watching this in theaters
"Ex Machina" and "Annihilation" were both excellent movies!
I did a survey where I got to see an unreleased version of this trailer and it was really cool to give feedback on it. I was able to give detailed reactions on the cinematography and story. They actually ended up changing a few things and didn’t include a part that I didn’t really like and it made the trailer so much better!
What is the song in this trailer it's driving me crazy it's so familiar
doubt it
@@blubplu8449 ok blub 🙄
@@annie1779 uh hbg
Hope they make a sequel “bears” for fair comparison..
Men (2022): When trailers tell you the story.
Plot: It reminds me of the video rental shops when you'd just read the back and then then spend your £2 on another tape. This was back in the day when you could spend your time reading the backs of empty movie boxes in places that will never again exist,
So this is about women’s experience with men? About never being believed, assumed hysterical/overreacting, always their fault etc? Interesting take on it, little more blunt but sometimes people need to hear it like that.
Pretty sure there will be a demon involved...
@@rustyshield Yeah but it'll be an analogy or the demon will turn out to be not real.
Coming to make this comment. Nice to see women’s experiences given a voice.
@@f3042 lol yeah, women are never given a voice in mainstream media 🙄
@@winstonmarlowe5254 The negative EXPERIENCES that people don’t believe. Many girls/women are gaslit when we talk about men overstepping boundaries or harming women. No one is saying every man is bad or harms women.
