I'm looking for a good Halloween movie.
Some options playing now are Malificent: Mistress of Evil, Joker, Zombieland: Double Tap, Countdown, Doctor Sleep, and The Addams Family.
I'm thinking I want a movie for adults.
Then scratch Addams Family and Malificent.
I'm not really into monsters or fantasy. It's easier to get into a film that could possibly happen in real life. Plus it's scarier.
That leaves Joker, Countdown, and possibly Doctor Sleep.
Why possibly Doctor Sleep?
It's mostly realistic but involves a cult trying to steal the "shine of innocents."
Oh that sounds weird. Which one has the most interesting characters?
Many reviewers are saying Joker does a good job of exploring a man sinking into madness.
Are they all playing at theaters near me?
Yes
My friends want something that is more scary than psychological thriller.
The Countdown is considered thriller/horror, so they might not like that.
What has the best rating on Rotten Tomatoes?
Of the movies you've narrowed down to, Joker is the highest rated.
