I really want to see something in theaters for Halloween, any suggestions?
Any genre you had in mind?
Horror would be great, but thriller or even sci fi would work. I want to feel suspense!
Ok, I'm narrowing it down. Any other criteria?
Audience scores are also important to me.
Zombieland: Double Tap is playing near you and has a 89% audience score on rotten tomatoes.
Ah right, I've seen the first and liked it. I feel like the zombie thing is getting old though. Anything else?
Joker is very well received and a psychological thriller film.
I heard about that one. Is it based on the comic character?
The graphic novel Batman: The Killing Joke (1988) was the basis for the premise, but it doesn't rely on comics otherwise.
I'll think about it. I've seen a lot of superhero movies lately. Any other horror movies?
Doctor Sleep is in theaters October 31. It's based on the 2013 novel of the same name by Stephen King, which is a sequel to King's 1977 novel The Shining. Directed by Mike Flanagan.
Oh wow, that sounds really interesting! Did he also direct Oculus and The Haunting of Hill House? I think I remember that name.
Yes, that is correct.
Great! I think that's my pick. Thanks for the help!
No problem. Enjoy the movie!
