Jennifer Lawrence’s new horror film is earning some excellent reviews

Fancy a cinema date? There's lots of good stuff being released.

The summer blockbuster season may have ended but don't fret because there's still plenty of great films to be released before the end of 2017. Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Thor: Ragnarok, Blade Runner 2049, The Snowman and Justice League are just some of the titles that will be coming soon to your cinema, but this period in the film calendar is also when studios start to release their Oscar contenders. Two people that have received plenty of critical praise are the director of Black Swan, The Warrior and Requiem for a Dream, Darren Aronofsky, and the Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence. The return of Pennywise in IT has already got horror fans very excited, but Aronofsky's new film, Mother!, has also been earning some very impressive reviews. In the film, a couple's relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence. The trailer had an extremely strong vibe of Rosemary's Baby, Antichrist and The Shining, but critics have hailed it as one of the most original and unsettling horror films in recent memory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpICoc65uh0   Clip via -Paramount Pictures Empire said that Mother! stays with you long after the credits roll and that "like all our most vivid bad dreams, it snags the mind. With barbs." The Guardian stated that Aronofsky "escalates the anxiety and ups the ante of dismay with every scene, every act, every trimester, taking us in short order from WTF to WTAF to SWTAF and beyond." The same review also hailed the film " as a machine for freaking you out." The Hollywood Reporter felt that Mother! is "a very Rosemary's Baby-like intimate horror tale that definitely grabs your attention and eventually soars well over the top." If Mother! (released on September 15th) or IT (released this week) don't tickle your fancy, the chilling thriller Wind River is an excellent alternative. In the film, a rookie FBI agent (Elizabeth Olsen) teams up with a local game tracker that has deep community ties and a haunted past (Jeremy Renner). Both of them have to investigate the murder of a local girl on a remote Native American Reservation in the hopes of solving her mysterious death. The writer of Hell or High Water and Sicario is the director of this murder mystery and it currently has an 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. In their review, the LA Times hailed Taylor Sheridan's film as "tense, convincing and the most accomplished violent thriller in quite some time."
