The Trip (2023)
Fun date night movie
This is a solid first film with good writing, acting and directing. The actors' on-screen commeraderie gives the friendship story credence. And it definitely gave off Romero vibes with the camera work. The CD (that's me) calls it "a delightfully frightful romp," and "I laughed AND jumped in my seat!" It's a little campy without being over the top and not too scary if you're not into that kind of thing.
Plus being filmed near where I live in Western Pennsylvania makes it fun for the locals. You'll see things you recognize, which always makes for an interesting experience. The ending has some ambiguity as to what happened, and what comes next. It's a light cliffhanger, which opens it up to a sequel or prequel, or just something that makes you think.
