We live in an age where horror films have taken over and have become increasingly popular, especially among younger generations. Joaquin Phoenix is no stranger to the genre, having starred in films such as Signs, The Master and You Were Never Really Here. But his latest venture, Beau Is Afraid, looks like it could be his most terrifying role yet.
The film follows a character named Beau, played by Phoenix, as he attempts to overcome his crippling fear of the unknown. He decides to seek out a mental health specialist in an effort to try and make sense of the intense visions he has been having, often involving dark and disturbing creatures. Along their journey to uncovering the mystery of why he is so afraid, they come face to face with some of the most harrowing creatures they could ever imagine.
What makes this film stand out is that it focuses more on the psychological aspect of being afraid rather than relying solely on jump scares and gimmicks to create suspense. The film is said to feature some of Phoenix’s most intense work yet as he navigates the deep and troubling waters of fear and terror.
Although a release date has yet to be officially announced, Beau Is Afraid is set to be one of the most intense horror films of 2021. It is sure to not only be a great showcase of Phoenix’s talents but also a unique horror experience that is sure to have a lasting impact on audiences everywhere.
