During these awful times we need some form of catharsis from our art. If you go into the movie expecting to not be able to sleep for weeks, you might be disappointed then, too. If you are looking for blood and gore, you may be disappointed. Or at least what we think a horror movie should be. The biggest problem with Hereditary is that it isn’t actually a horror movie at all. It reminded me of the way I first started writing poems in the darkness of my bedroom when I was a little girl.Īfter so much anticipation, it is only natural that I am not exactly sure how I feel about the movie. The second time, I wrote notes in a green notebook in the dark, scribbling half-words that I can barely read now. I kept my hands plastered on my face, trying to avoid any jump scares (something I wish I had done when I first saw The Shining nearly twenty years ago and the ghost of room 237 began her lifelong emblazonment on my psyche). The first time, I saw it only through my fingers. The film came out on June 8, and I’ve already seen it twice. For a poet, this is a movie’s greatest gift. I fell madly in love with the idea of what it could be and what it might do to my imagination. I spent six agonizing months memorizing its trailers, watching YouTube fan movies (and considering making my own), talking to my friends about it until they began rolling their eyes, and dreaming about its possible endings. As soon as I saw the words The Exorcist and The Shining attached to the film’s publicity materials, I knew I had to see it. I don’t usually follow new movie releases too closely, but I found out about the movie back in January, when people at the Sundance Film Festival lost their minds about how good it was. I’m going to keep my fingers crossed that this game plays as well as it looks in the trailer.I had been sitting in a lovesick fog, waiting to see Ari Aster’s Hereditary, ever since I first heard about it. With lots of ways to customize your character, cool environments to explore, and the option to play as the ghosts themselves, this could be the interactive experience fans have been waiting for.

Thankfully, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed looks like it’s putting the best aspects of being a Ghostbuster front and center. Video games based on the Ghostbusters franchise haven’t always taken off. In other words, get ready to slime your targets as they try to remove you from the mortal realm. That’s right, kids! Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed lets you play as ghosts as well! While playing as a ghost, players will be able to see through walls thanks to an ability called Ghost Vision. Human characters are controlled from a first-person perspective, while ghosts are manipulated in third-person. The game also features a robust character creator with lots of options for players of all kinds. You can customize the base by unlocking content throughout your adventure. In the game, players take up residence in the original Ghostbusters firehouse. The trailer reveals some intense-looking gameplay as the four-versus-one multiplayer game allows players to enter the fray as both ghost hunters and ghosts. Also included in the trailer is Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), who owns an occult bookstore. Dressed in a fine-ass suit, Winston explains that he’s recruiting the next generation of paranormal investigators, and he wants you to be a part of the team. The trailer opens with Winston Zeddemore ( Ernie Hudson) as the new head of the Ghostbusters organization. Grab your Ecto Goggles and a Proton Pack because it’s time to bust some ghosts!
