    I’m told that Australia is currently having a horror renaissance. Talk to Me and The Surfer are the two I’ve actually seen, and I enjoyed both a lot.

    Annihilation is one of the scariest movies I’ve ever seen without having a single real “scare”. I felt different after watching it.

    Nope is pretty great. I didn’t think it was as good as people were saying at the time, but still very very good.

    A much older example that I watched recently is Slither. Really good, really funny, the visuals and concepts are terrifying but I’m usually laughing too much to be scared. James Gunn knows how to make a good movie
