10 Great Horror Movies Recommended by Ari Aster

"Ari Aster burst into scene this past decade, dropping two instant hits in Hereditary and Midsommar and establishing himself as one of the most intriguing and sought-out directors in the business today. Both of his A24-backed arthouse horror films seem to have paved the way to an alternative way of storytelling in the genre, banking on atmospheric dread and slow burn narratives to create thrills. The timing for these two movies couldn't have been better for a watered-down industry reigned by cheap jump scares and creatively bankrupt releases.Aster is a self-declared cinephile who has always been vocal about his influences, admiration and most inspiring films, being a devout student of the history of the medium. From the spiritual works of Ingmar Bergman to the religious odysseys of Andrei Tarkovsky and the crooked character studies of Martin Scorsese, Ari Aster has never shied away from giving the old-timers their due credit."
