I just watched After Hours for the first time.
What an insane ride that was. I loved it but also felt an intense anxiety the whole time. Obviously that’s exactly what it was going for so it more than did its job, but I was surprised how effective it was. I watch a lot of horror and I think I felt more tense watching this than any horror film in recent memory. I think it’s the realness of the situation despite the absurdity. Ive been stuck in a night I just want to get out of before and been in situations where I found myself with strange people I don’t know and am unsure what they’re capable of. It was a relatable anxiety. Great performances all around, has the grimy 80s New York setting, very dryly funny.. just an all around great film.
