I don’t mean this in a “movies suck now” kind of way, I actually think 2022 was a pretty good year for movies and 2024 will probably be better

but yeesh, 2023 seemed like a particularly bleak year for film. of those I’ve seen on this list, the only ones I’d heartily recommend are Bottoms and Nimona. maybe Beau is Afraid and Infinity Pool, but those are definitely not for everyone. oh and the TMNT movie was a lot of fun

(I haven’t seen Flower Moon yet so don’t get mad at me, Scorsesebros)

but please feel free to CMV and recommend any good movies from this year, whether they’re in this image or not!

    Yeah but Saw (and similar tortureporn movies) focus on the realistic, gruesome violence (often in closeup). That was never a selling point of the “summer slashers” you are trying to wax poetic about.
