I'm looking to see a good movie. Something exciting that will stimulate my mind.
Have you seen Joker or Zombieland 2?
I've seen Joker and thought it was brilliant. I'd like to see something else like that. I love a great zombie movie, but I don't really want to see a comedy.
Do you like horror films? Countdown should be in theaters now.
I saw some previews of that movie and it seemed interesting, but I'm afraid it might be one of those cheesy scary movies. It seems like it might be predictable, like the movie One Missed Call.
Now that I think of it, the plots do seem pretty similar. Perhaps I can check some reviews for you? If it seemed interesting, it's worth a shot.
That's a good idea. I wouldn't want to miss out on a good horror film that makes me look over my shoulder a bit.
Yikes. So far it has a rating of 27% on Rotten Tomatoes. A lot of the reviews say that it relies on jump scares to entertain and that it isn't actually scary. I guess you were right.
What are the top rated opening films on Rotten Tomatoes right now?
The Lighthouse has great reviews. It has a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a great cast. The two main characters are played by Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe.
I've never heard of it. What kind of movie is it?
The description says it's a "hypnotic and hallucinatory tale of two lighthouse keepers on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s." The trailer doesn't give away much, but the directing makes it look incredibly creepy.
Who is it directed by? Do they have any known works?
It's directed by Robert Eggers, the filmmaker behind The Witch. That movie has great reviews as well.
Ah, so he's known for a great horror piece. This movie seems promising. Willem Dafoe is great actor, so I'm sure he'll bring a lot to the movie.
Yes, I'm a fan of his as well. I'm not too familiar with Robert Pattinson's horror acting, but he looked very intense in the trailer. Do you think you want to see The Lighthouse?
