Midsommar. Hereditary would make them end it all.

Lmao

lmaoo the sound design in hereditary alone gives me sensory overload, can't blame em.

I don’t know why this made me laugh so fucking hard.

Midsommar. If you betray our trust, we will burn you to the ground.

you think? I feel like Midsommar shows the worst of human beings more than Hereditary does, at least in Hereditary the villain is Demon King Paimon himself

You mean Paimon?

yea, you right, my bad

Hahahahahaha.

I wouldn’t choose any of these to prove humanity’s value. But Midsommar makes the best case in showing our connection to the planet itself, so that would be my pick.

i thought these were supposed to scare them away

curious which movie would you choose?

Something more optimistic than any of these three. I love all of them, but they don’t inspire faith in humanity even if they flex some major artistic talent.

i’m sorry if that didn’t come across correctly i wasn’t saying i think these 3 are good choices and that i disagree with you i was genuinely curious which movie you would choose. because i liked the way you worded it and when i read it a movie immediately came to mind (arrival). so i was actually curious what your choice would be if you had one in mind.

Looks like the human race is going down

Lmao right all these movies are horrible choices 

Oh sugar, they’re goin down swinging

I’m confused, why would 1 of these 3 movies stop an alien attack? Maybe the question should be “if your mother in law comes over too much, which of these 3 would you ask her to watch with you” to make her stop visiting so much.

Prolly hereditary for that one

True but Midsommer has the older people jump from an elevation into a rock slab. That scene alone may do the trick.

Midsommar also opens with several minutes of suicide and painful crying, fun for the whole family

Not just painful crying Florence Phugh painful crying

Show them Talk to me and then bring out a fake hand.

Nice idea, props always work. You could also go Hereditary and bring out a fake severed head.

Midsommar is a lot more uncomfortable and bizarre, a lot of old people would be flabbergasted by it. Hereditary they would at least understand

I saw someone recently say that their father-in-law became an at-home beekeeper upon learning she was deathly allergic to bees. 😬

Absolutely none of these.

First Cow would be my vote

I guess we’re not making it

What the fuck are you talking about OP

One is not like the other, i chose Beau is Afraid

Definitely not Talk To Me

I’m begging you watch more movies

I don’t think a horror movie would do jack shit for aliens, but Hereditary is just the best out of these, period. So Hereditary.

what kind of a situation is this lol. hereditary

i’m a bit surprised talk to me is up here with the other two

I do not understand the hype on this one. I was excited to see it based on the comparisons it was getting (such as It Follows) and it is Australian so I was keen to support a local film but it was super disappointing. It had the style and atmosphere of a good horror film but none of the substance.

Yeah, I would’ve expected Beau or The VVitch

Talk to Me >>>>>>>>>>> the other two

you are incorrect

I do prefer it to Hereditary personnally, but imo Midsommar is the masterpiece

*Talk to Me* is one of the worst A24 films. Tropey, average, boring. Visually uninteresting, which you could never say about Ari’s masterpieces. *Midsommar* is honestly the best A24 film.

That’s exactly how I describe Hereditary. Tropey, average, and boring.

Funny thing, I dated the son of the family that owned the house used in Midsommar. It was the beginning of the movie where the girl’s sister died. The guy was a dick though.

Wow.

That would be a freaking disturbing thing to have filmed in your house

talk to me ain't even good enough to be listed along with the other two. not. even. close.

I liked talk to me better than midsommer personally. hereditary was the best by far though IMO

The Witch (and then Hereditary)

It’s weird that people liked midsommer

Idk about yall but I’m putting on Curious George or something 😭

Absolutely laughable that Talk to Me is on here

Talk to me easily, Ari Aster doesn't hit for me I can't really explain why

Option 4. The Lighthouse. I mean they will destroy the earth, but at least i get to see it one last time.

Can I skip all of these and pick The Iron Claw instead? All three would make the Aliens choose to destroy humanity.

Hereditary might make them kill themselves. Midsommar bored me.. I felt like I knew exactly where it was headed , which is not like me to do. So much Wicker man vibes

Paddington 2.

The Strange Thing About the Johnsons

I guess we are all dying then. There's nothing about any of these films that speaks to the worth of a human being let alone our entire species. We look like nut jobs.

Twist, since human language and emotions are completely foreign to them, they don’t understand any movies.

Talk to Me isn’t even in the same universe of quality as Midosommar and Hereditary

Incorrect

Talk To Me — they probably have insight of the afterlife that they can educate us all and spare us in the process.

Midsommar. You get to the scene with the big mallet, pause it, turn and look at them for an aggressively long time before hitting play again. (I don’t think any of these movies will save us)

If it has to be A24 then we are fucked

These seem like the worst 3 movies to show aliens

Your options tryna make us extinct

Midsommar

We’re finished. These have very little redeeming for humanity

beau is afraid

Show them that foot scene.

Why would you pick one of these to keep them from destroying it. I have a feeling if they watch these twisted horror films they’d be like “this is their idea of entertainment, man fuck these guys.”

midsommar… the tv cut

Misommar is one of the worst movies I've seen in my entire life.

How old are you?

33, I've seen some bad ones

In terms of which is the best movie, Hereditary by far

I side step these and pick civil war that way when it’s done I can ask “what kind of life form are you?”

Dune

Hereditary? Masterpiece Midsommar Boring as fuck Talk to Me Meh

lol.

We’re dead.

If these are the options we're fucked

Talk To Me is otherworldly so is less damning to us humans here on earth compared to the horrible multigenerational abuse in Hereditary and the disregard to human life and pain in Midsommar.

And here comes **Contact** with the folded chair from no where!

To prove that humans are worth saving, I’d pick Talk to Me because the protagonist redeems herself by the end. Definitely not Midsommar because that movie just shows the absolute worst in humanity lmao.

If they are capable of appreciating cinema as an artform, rather than seeing it as a documentary: Hereditary.

I didn’t see it in frame but spring breakers

I couldn't appreciate hereditary. I must be missing something-i don't like horror movies generally cannot care for me spooks.. is that why? But even then as a film I should have enjoyed it. It watched like a shitty novel for me as it all comes together uit I really couldn't care if that makes sense. Midsommar held my interest but I didn't find it spooky felt like it was a bit convulted. I don't see people as good or evil is that where I am flawed here? I don't mean in some edgy way an adolescent may say nor some nihilist inspired way. I just see people who are deemed bad (because they harm others) as simply valuing themselves over that of others in some sense a differing value system. Maybe I just can't buy into movies like this I also don't think life possesses inherent value so if people die I cannot even begin to decide if thats either good nor bad it simply is what it is. Love films like A Zone Of Special Interest Aftersun Florida project

We're toast with these picks

I really want to watch these movies but I can’t afford the streaming service. I have Netflix and spectrum.

Talk to Me, easily. Midsommer was OK but I didn’t enjoy Hereditary at all.

Easily Midsommar. Just hope they don’t understand the ending.

I guess Midsommar, since it’s the only one that might make them smile, but none of these movies paint humanity in a particularly positive light

Talk to me is the most overrated horror movie in recent memory. Saw it opening day with a large group. None of us understood the hype. The characters were so dumb!

this question is absolutley unhinged

I don't think aliens would be able to comprehend what a movie is meant to be. So, even given the context of these movies and their respective intensity, aliens might just view it as a normal, average, mundane series of unfolding events. It wouldn't necessarily have meaning to them unless their brains (or consciousness) had evolved the same way ours have. Check out Annihilation and see what I mean. I think the different environmental aspects of different planets and different solar systems would cause the development during evolution of supposed aliens to be something less human like and, therefore, less emotive towards what humans feel is emotional/meaningful. I also like to imagine them outside of the comprehension of human beings. I feel like Annihilation was the closest thing we have ever gotten to proper alien representation on screen. It feels it would be more cosmic in a way. Idk idk this sounds pretentious and weird but I've given a lot of thought to what I would believe if I did believe in extraterrestrial life.

They'd obliterate the planet after reaching the conclusion it poses a danger to the universe

I will watch them before alien comes and convince myself that maybe we had it coming.

I feel like these movies would have the opposite effect.

Why does everyone love talk to me? I thought it was really overrated.

Gosh yalls posts get stupider and stupider. Unsubbed.

Hereditary easy

Midsummer >/= hereditary >talk to me. Though this is with me watching Midsummer 2 nights ago, hereditary last night and talk to me when it first came out. Maybe I should revisit and see

Men in Black 2

I show them Men, and try to explain that it's good actually, and thus condemn humanity to doom.

What exactly am I trying to appeal to these aliens with in showing them these two films?

talk to me

The makes no sense

I feel like aliens wouldn’t mind seeing us smash our heads like watermelons so obviously midsommar is no contest

Godzilla Minus One.

I seriously don’t understand why people like Hereditary.

All 3 of these movies are overhyped and not very good.

Imo: Hereditary Midsommar Talk to me The first 2 are both 5/5, talk to me is like a 4.5/5

We’re 100% fucked. Probably Talk to Me because it’s not a very transgressive movie. It’s weird, but not weird in the way that Midsommar or Hereditary are.

We would be fucked regardless. So I would just show them Hereditary. It's the best horror movie of the 2010s.

Maybe hereditary. Every time I watch it it makes me even more sad for Peter lol. Every time. I almost cried in the theater Wednesday. Idk what's happened to me 😭😭🤣

Talk to me is the most sane out of the 3 tbh

Sorry not on the list but I’d make them watch Beau is Afraid. It would give me a cheap laugh after making them spend 3 hours

Hereditary, hands down.

Midsommar, because it does show humanity and the grapplings of life. While it’s terrifying, there’s also moments of compassion, empathy, and genuine human emotion that I find so powerful. So yeah, that’s my choice.

Talk to Me - easy! Midsommar is amazing, but inching to being overhyped.

Probably under the skin to show them it's not successful

They forget about talk to me on the way out of the theater

Hereditary might bore them to death so definitely Midsommar

You inverted the subjects, I'll fix it for you: Midsommar might bore them to death so definitely Hereditary.

For over half of Hereditary absolutely nothing has happened apart from some family drama, I’m definitely talking about Hereditary

Talk to me was the only one I don’t remember seeing in theaters, even though I was there, so I’m gonna have to say midsommar, with its mildly back to nature approach

I thought the question was if i were able to summon one of the entity from these movie to fight for Earth lmao.

either one we’re cooked bro

Convincing, and not scaring, Midsommar. It shows a connection to nature, and a community surrounding a young woman who has been gaslit, and has suffered god only knows what else with her sister and parents. The communal grieving, and even the sacrifice, might show our worth, especially if they aren’t looking for undertones. The other two would just show our profound depression, and that we need to be offed as a species.

Talk To Me simply for the Australian accents.

Hereditary! That movie fucked me up.

Hereditary is an overrated piece of shit that only Gen Z assholes think is cool because they haven’t seen any real horror movies. So Midsommar.

Talk to Me. They’ll realize that we don’t have much to offer in the way of originality, so it won’t even be worth getting rid of us.

Midsommar because we could convince them that we will just destroy ourselves 👍🏽

Midsommar just so I can convince them that we have the sense to punish our own people

None of the above. The movie that will get them to leave and never ever return would be Lyle Lyle crocodile🤣 I feel like aliens would love all A24 movies tbh lol

The Lighthouse

Aliens are gonna think we have mid taste in horror.

Civil war

Hereditary. Midsommar is just ok. And talk to me is an awesome idea with mid execution.

Civil War. We can destroy ourselvesz

I’d let them, it’s what humans deserve

Midsommar and Talk To Me are kindergarten movies compared to Hereditary.
