My Take

Andy Muschietti is the guy who proved that horror could still genuinely scare mainstream audiences in the 2010s, and I have a lot of respect for that. Growing up in Buenos Aires and cutting his teeth on the short film Mamá before turning it into the 2013 feature, he brought a very tactile, old-school sense of dread — practical-feeling, rooted in grief and childhood fear — that felt refreshingly sincere. Then he took on Stephen King's It and somehow threaded the needle between blockbuster spectacle and real emotional weight, giving us Pennywise in a way that actually stuck. It Chapter Two was messier, sure, but his ambition never shrinks. The Flash in 2023 was a turbulent production by any measure, yet he still delivered something far more heartfelt than it had any right to be.
