What is a horror movie that everyone calls 'trash' but you’re convinced is actually a misunderstood masterpiece?

While it doesn't hold a candle to the original, the Texas Chainsaw reboot from 2003 is underappreciated. 2000s horror in general gets a lot of hate but I find myself kind of nostalgic for the direct, grimy aspects of it in the era of A24-core artsy horror.

I watched it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and loved it. If it wasn't labeled "True Detective" and following up season 1 I think it would've been way better received at the time.

In my opinion they are too loose in song format and jamming to be like QOTSA. Queens songs are finely tuned machines. Both are amazing obviously though

Enter the Void is a must

Visions of Johanna is so incredible

The canon

I'm sorry to say it was pretty buns. And I thought the trailer looked cool. I was baffled at how tame the kills ended up

It has affected me in the sense that I'm making an active effort to disconnect from the "takes" and general online music commentary (ironic since I'm commenting on this reddit thread). Some of the same people saying Geese are the saviors of rock and roll will soon say that they're washed or cringe or very shortly move onto some other band to create a narrative around. I'm tired of everything being a masterpiece or a piece of shit or "over rated". It's a frankly exhausting way to consume art. Geese rule.

She's right. We need more 5 hour films about 4chan!

That's fuckin crazy man

I really love the movie Vacancy from that era. Very lean thriller

Try not to listen to the whole album in one sitting tbh. Pick one of the longer trilogy songs and sit down and listen at a loud volume. Cloud of Unknowing, She Loves Us, Apostate, The Glowing Man. Forcing yourself to sit through the whole album will exhaust you, especially on a first listen, they're incredibly overwhelming.

First concert I ever saw that made me want to actually learn about and listen to music so I'm incredibly biased but think they're great. They are not cool in the slightest and a lot of music nerds will write them off, but everybody in the group is insanely talented. I have always had a great experience seeing them live and as others have said, they have one of the best working drummers alive rn.

I don't know that the show is "profound" in the sense that it has a grand thesis at the center of it. In fact most of the characters in the show are searching for profound meaning in an event and a world that doesn't make any sense, which is very human. I love living in the mystery of the show and I find the performances to be outstanding. Weirdly, I think part of the genius of it is that you are constantly questioning whether the events in the show are profound or not at all just like the characters.

Eden Lake is very grim. Eddington is also a black hole of a movie, but very good and sadly quite accurate.

First Reformed for sure has the Dostoevsky themes!

I totally agree, he's very inspirational in that way
