I didn't watch the movie. The theatrical poster of them on that extremely high tower gave me the willies...

I watched that several months ago. I thought it was really good. Scared the Hell out of me.
Check out The Housemaid. Sydney Sweeney is great in it, as is Amanda Seyfried. It is a psychological thriller with a great twist.

I've seen this one and really enjoyed it.
I'll have to checkout, The Housemaid, @seadoug; I like Amanda Seyfried's work as well.
I agree with what you guys are saying about the scariness of, "Fall." It was fun to watch them dangling I-don't-know-how-freaking-high-up on what looked liked an extremely long tension pole. I did like that.
But the storyline, the relationship between the women and how they came to be where they were felt very predictable to me.

@OneEyedDiva, it's like you read my mind! I've been thinking of trying to watch all of the Godzilla movies, in order, too. I knew there are a lot, but I hadn't realized there are quite so many, so now I'm feeling a little intimidated.
Before I start Gozilla Minus One, I want to watch the original film from 1954. I started it last night but had things to do and wasn't able to sit and read the subtitles. I hope to finish it tonight.

Story line? The relationship between the women? I couldn't tell you anything about that. I just concentrated on the scary stuff.

I watched the trailer. It looks good. But I would need to sign up for another subscription or pay $6 bucks plus tax on Amazon to watch it and I'm pretty cheap.

Well...you know what they say..."Great minds think alike"
You're a bit more ambitious than me however. I won't rewatch the ones I've seen already, but I will have to figure out which ones they are. I saw the American made one twice. It's wild how Wikipedia has the films categorized by eras! Scroll down to Filmography: Godzilla (franchise) - Wikipedia I think you'll really enjoy Godzilla Minus One.
The movie “Stray”2018 …not sure how I feel about this one.
A young man on parole and a woman released from a psychiatric facility struggle to repair their broken pasts in a cold and remote landscape. It was filmed in NewZeland, beautiful country!

I'm about to watch, "Megan 2.0." A sequel to a movie about an AI doll that goes rogue. The first one was fun, light entertainment and that's all I'm hoping for in the sequel.

Lured (1947)
This is an enjoyable late ‘40s crime thriller featuring a dream cast: George Sanders, Lucille Ball, Charles Coburbn, Cedric Hardwicke, and Boris Karloff. Directed by the great Douglas Sirk on a screenplay by Leo Rosten.
The story concerns a serial killer who lures his victims via ads in the personals column, then following their murders sends poems, ala Baudelaire, explaining the purpose of the crimes. That sounds way more gruesome than it is, chiefly because of the era, and also due to several light-hearted and comedic scenes.
This is not one of the greatest crime films but there are several reasons to see it. George Sanders always plays the perfect cad, and it’s fascinating to watch him perform. Lucille Ball is at her loveliest and most charming in a pre- Desi Arnaz role. But it’s worth the price of admission to see Karloff as a kooky, mentally unstable former fashion designer who entices Lucy to join him in a performance to a non existing theater audience.
There are also veteran performances by Charles Coburn and Cedric Hardwicke that remind us why they were so popular and dependable.
The plot and story are slightly weak, but watch this one for the performances.
Available on YouTube.
Doc’s rating: 6/10
