(Photo Credit –Still From Beau Is Afraid) ‘Joker’ star Joaquin Phoenix wants audience to watch his recently released film, ‘Beau Is Afraid’ but off a certain substance. The actor said that one should definitely not watch his movie, after taking magic mushrooms, and there is a reason he says so. “I was told from someone in college that there was this college thread amongst friends, a challenge they were going to take mushrooms and…

Image via A24 Now that Beau Is Afraid has released in cinemas, it’s of utmost importance that interested film-goers neither raise their expectations nor lower them; the correct play with Ari Aster‘s latest explanation-defying epic is to abandon the concept of expectation in the first place. In short, if you think you know what Beau Is Afraid is about, you don’t. Having once been described by Aster himself as “Jewish Lord of the Rings” – except instead of Mordor he’s just going to his mom’s house – Beau Is Afraid…

Image via A24 At long last, Friday is finally upon us, vampire nerds (we’re looking at you, Twilight series enthusiasts)! To get you deliciously excited for the weekend, the spooky catalog has pumped out an endless assortment of content which, quite frankly, has us all on the edge of our seats. From Evil Dead Rise catapulting the genre to greater heights as Joaquin Phoenix warns moviegoers against watching Beau Is Afraid on shrooms, there’s an abundance of blood-splattered content set to be explored in today’s…

Image via A24 When it comes to the face-melting resume of gifted filmmaker Ari Aster, this aspect is consistently crawling with a collection of bizarre horror movies which have long stressed out moviegoers for nearly a decade. From dysfunctional family values in Hereditary to a crazed festival in Midsommar, Aster’s films have often been thought to be the human equivalent of ingesting psilocin drugs. At least, that’s what star Joaquin Phoenix has insisted about Aster’s latest horror experience Beau Is Afraid. In…

If you’ve just watched Ari Aster’s new horror-comedy “Beau Is Afraid,” you probably have a few questions. Or maybe a lot of questions. Like, what was that?As with his previous films, 2018’s “Hereditary” and 2019’s “Midsommar,” Aster packs a lot into his surreal, alternately funny and nightmarish three-hour head trip through the mind of a middle-aged man named Beau (Joaquin Phoenix), whose attempt to return home to visit his mother turns into a hellish odyssey of anxiety, guilt and shame. But he would rather not do the…

Beau may be afraid but Ari Aster certainly isn’t. Of the many words used to describe the writer-director’s previous two films — “Hereditary” and “Midsommar” — timidity was never of them. This is a filmmaker who has sent Toni Collette skittering across the ceiling and intricately arranged mutilated bodies the way some people make bouquets. But if any doubts remained about just how far Aster is willing to go, “Beau Is Afraid” should pacify them. Not because of the degree of terror within it; by Aster’s high standards, “Beau…

Indeed, it’s no unfair statement to say that horror fans eat the best as far as pure creative weirdness goes, and with names like Jordan Peele, Zach Cregger, and Brandon Cronenberg pumping out such flicks as Nope, Barbarian, and Infinity Pool recently, there’s no end in sight to the fuel for this particular fire. But Ari Aster is set to bring a whole new…

Image via A24 When it comes to sheer, off-the-chain creativity, you can find few better conduits of such a thing than within the ranks of A24. From White Noise to Bodies Bodies Bodies to Tusk to The Green Knight to their crown jewel of Everything Everywhere All at Once, it’s near impossible to suggest that any film studio embraces the creative spirit quite like A24 does. And few have taken advantage of such a mandate quite like Ari Aster has; with the likes of Hereditary and Midsommar having established…

Hader — who makes a brief cameo appearance as a UPS telephone operator in the horror-comedy — spoke of the shooting process in an interview with Deadline. The Barry actor said the role came about in a phone call with director Aster and star Joaquin Phoenix, during which Hader “tried a bunch of different stuff.” After being connected to Aster through his assistant, Hader “pick up the phone… and it’s Ari Aster…
