Do you like Hereditary? Midsommer? They’re two of my favourite horror films in recent times so I was really excited for the new one from the same director, init.
Beau is Afraid.
Honestly, I’m not sure I enjoyed it at all. I might actually hate it. But I can’t stop thinking about it…
I’d tell you what it’s about but I’m not sure I know.
I can tell you it isn’t much of a horror film like the others. It’s unsettling at times. It’s very well directed like the previous films and looks amazing at times. Really well shot and the aesthetics are great.
What else?
Christ, I kinda loved it until the attic scene. Then it really lost me. It was so daft and stupid. I want to tell you what it is …
ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
It’s a giant penis with a face. And then an army guy jumps through a window and shoots it in one of its giant balls. And throws a knife at the balls. And the penis monster stabs him in the head with a tentacle. It has tentacles now.
Then it’s never referred to again.
So yeah. It’s definitely a film.
I’d give it a solid rating of hairy badger out of green banana
