Fortunately, the director corrected himself at the solstice
The witch is also cool, after she had high hopes for the Lighthouse, unfortunately, they were not justified.
But the Witch really scared the shit out of me, it was the feeling that something very terrible was about to happen and you were just crouching in fear. I haven't experienced this for a long time.
For me personally, the most creepy and psychologically affecting film is Missing Megan.
I regret that I looked. And I don't recommend it to anyone.
Actually, I've been watching 80 horror movies for about a year. I don't know if it's a lot or a little.
The very last one is an Absolute Killer - but he's not creepy, he's cool. Must be viewed)
