I'm looking for a movie to watch around Halloween, any suggestions?
There's a couple movies out now that were released around Halloween.
Okay, what are they?
Joker, IT Chapter 2, Maleficent, and The Addams Family
Is the Addams Family scary? I want to be scared during the movie.
The Addams Family is more of a comedy kids movie; it's animated.
Oh okay. Well, in the spirit of Halloween I want something that'll be suspenseful and psychologically thrilling.
Joker or IT Chapter 2 might be good options.
Is Joker the one with Joaquin Phoenix? I head that it got great reviews.
Yes, it has an 8 out of 10 on IMDB right now, and lots of critics say it's Phoenix's best performance.
Is it scary though? I enjoy a good story but I want something that is more of the horror genre than drama.
It has some elements of horror in it, but not in the traditional sense of a horror film. IT Chapter 2 might be a better option. It's the sequel to the remake of the first IT movie that came out in 2017.
Okay, how are the reviews? I only want the general public, not the critics because that usually means it was well liked by everyone.
The audience gave it an 83% out of 100 on Rotten Tomatoes.
Nice, that sounds pretty good. I really liked the first one; it was suspenseful and had some great jumpscares.
I think you'll like this one too. Pennywise the Clown is supposed to be even scarier.
