A couple I still need to see.
Hereditary was just not my thing. It would be on my worst list.
Saw Captain Marvel yesterday and thought it was a lot of fun.
Loved, loved, loved Hereditary! So clever, unpredictable and twisted. Definitely my favorite horror movie of 2018.
You did? I'm not super excited about it, but I'll give it a go next week.
