Does it have...new unreleased Mitski?

I should mention that, since we were talking about Kanye in another thread, Puberty 2 and Be The Cowboy are also like Top 20, if not Top 10, picks for the decade. Kanye and Mitski made a huge chunk of my listening of the 10s.

Think I posted my BotD in another thread, but I'm not sure. From what I gather it's an unreleased song, but I haven't listened to it. I also didn't go see The Turning, but do plan/hope to watch it at some point in 2020.

A quick reminder that the same story will be the basis for the next season of Mike Flannigan's Haunting Of anthology on Netflix later this year. I have much more confidence in that being a good adaptation of The Turn of the Screw.

Is it standalone or should I watch season one? I mostly avoided it, despite liking the limited Flan I've seen thus far, because it seemed like it used a lot of jump scares, which I usually don't like regardless of how well done they are, but if it veers away from the horror, like how the book does, I think it could be interesting. Something like The Little Stranger, a film (and book?) that feels indebted to gothic fiction and works like TTotS, is what I'm thinking about.

Do feel bad though, would like to up my number of films from women directors I see theatrically in 2020.

Seems like it'll be pretty different, the end of The Haunting of Hill House was pretty definite, and Bly Manor seems like it'll be a period piece. But there isn't much known about it yet.

His movies and shows do feature jump scares, but they're almost always really well done and they aren't the only way he can make your spine tingle.

I didn't see The Turning.

Anyway, how should I prioritize seeing these? (Expecting to get to two, but hoping for three, if not more):

Parasite (Black and White)
Fantasy Island
Downhill
The Assistant
The Traitor
The Photograph


EDIT: Didn't include Sonic because I'm going tomorrow after work, obvi.

Yeah, feel like at this point The Assistant is a must because it's reviewing really well. I have no idea what to make of the others, and was going to pass on Downhill entirely until C-Dub gave it the positive word.
