So I'm not a big horror fan but have been trying to hit the big recent releases - here's my rankings
  1. Barbarian
  2. X
  3. Pearl
  4. Bodies Bodies Bodies
Where shall I go next? I prefer the more psychological type movies over pure slasher. Thinking Midsommar then ??

Midsommar is fantastic, one of my favorite movies period. If you haven’t seen Nope I recommend it highly even if it’s not so “horror”-y, same for The Menu. Looking backwards from there, The Lighthouse is an incredible one, very psychological.

Def Midsommar! Also echoing the recos for The Menu and Cure (or other Kiyoshi Kurosawa films like Kairo aka Pulse). Alex Garland's MEN was quite the anxious trip. Then definitely meander on over to the Cronenberg family of films for some psychosexual thrills with Crimes of the Future or exploration of parasites/hosts with Possessor. If either of those tickle your fancy, you might enjoy Titane.

Along with the other suggestions, if you haven't seen them, then Malignant and The Night House and The Innocents (2021).

I was about to suggest The Night House too! Loved that one. Still need to check out Resurrection, which I hear also features a great Rebecca Hall performance.

Also Malignant is, without shame, one of my favorite movies of the last few years. It's like a trashy direct-to-video B-movie from the 80s on steroids.

Loved the Menu and liked Nope (better than Us but far behind Get Out IMO) will check out the Lighthouse, thanks.
 
Just got back from seeing Avatar 2 in 3D. Great film, a little better than the first one, incredible VFX and amazing 3D. Not really a fan of 3D with only the first Avatar, Gravity, Life Of Pi, Hugo and one more I can’t remember right now impressing me but this was probably the best 3D I’ve seen. But hopefully the studios won’t jump on the fad again like last time.
 
They've just announced a M3gan sequel, which they'd call M4rgan (pronounced Morgan) if I had my way in this world. Next film would introduce an evil boy robot, 5L, who will for some reason go west in his own spin-off.

edit: or Jenni4. Or any name with an "A;" 4shley, T4mmy, 44liy4h. Just give me number puns and not M3gan 2.0 or whatever
