      Could be good, Alex Garland is a very competent director.

      The question is, what kind of story are they looking to tell? They can’t do a full chronology and having a simple “Tarnished kills all of the bosses” type of story would be very boring.

        I’ve tried watching A24 movies, but I was disappointed every time. They have great production, but the story and dialogue of those movies make me never want to watch another.

          I know people love to shit on A24, but they’ve put out good films. Some examples:

          Enemy (Villeneuve)

          Ex Machina

          Room

          The Witch

          Green Room

          The Lobster

          Good Time

          The Killing of a Sacred Deer

          Hereditary

          Eighth Grade

          Mid90s

          Midsommar

          The Lighthouse

          Uncut Gems

          Everything Everywhere All at Once

          …Honestly, I was just scrolling through the list on wikipedia chronologically, and got tired and feel like I listed more than enough. That’s only some of them up to like 2021… There’s been some good ones since (Zone of Interest for one) Check out the list yourself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_A24_films

            I was just being a little shit. I love a lot of the movies they produce, but they are very focused on aesthetics

          A24 movies have story? I just watch them for the haunting still life pans, dark synth, and general vibe.

            Kinda a good fit for a FromSoft game. Lost of impressive visuals, action, and tons of clues about a story sprinkled throughout the game without actually telling a story.
