Arthouse is the perfect movie genre for those who are hungry for something different. Let’s face it, sometimes you don’t always want to watch a simple movie with tried and tested themes and story lines.
Sometimes you would prefer to watch something totally unique, ingenious and creative instead.
There are a lot of incredible twists from films of the last few decades, and the 21st century is no exception.
And while we haven’t quite reached the same level as the Sixth Sense or anything comparable, there are still plenty of modern films that left their audience in states of disbelief at the unexpected turn of events.

There are many types of film in the world. Some focus on action, while others take on a more comedic role. But some films are designed to provoke thought about the nature of life and the many experiences that we go through on a daily basis.

Those of us who were brave enough to watch Hereditary in 2018 are likely just recovering, but writer and director Ari Aster isn’t done with us yet. In fact, it would seem that he’s just getting started. There are many moments in Hereditary – for example that car scene – which are likely to live with us for years to come and by all accounts Midsommar is destined to be no different.
The horror genre isn’t quite what it once was, with endless clichéd projects being released year after year, and none coming close to the golden age of horror during the 1970s and 80s.

Following hot on the heels of the recent remake of IT (2017), a remake of another of Stephen King’s terrifying novel-to-film adaptations was released this year – Pet Sematary.
