47. WE'RE ALL GOING TO THE WORLD'S FAIR (2022) dir. Jane Schoenbrun

We're All Going to the World's Fair is a horror film written and directed by Jane Schoenbrun. In it, a teen girl named Casey (Anna Cobb in her film debut) shares her experience playing an online role-playing horror game called "The World's Fair Challenge." Others document the disturbing changes happening to their bodies as their games go on, and Casey's experience is no different. With only a mysterious man named JLB (Michael J. Rogers), whose identity is filtered through Skype calls and a creepy profile photo, as her guide, Casey has to figure out what's happening to her before the game consumes her.I'd say that's what the movie's about, but nah, motherfuckers, this ain't your regular horror movie. This is the Wild West of the Internet.---Follow The Movies on ⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠& ⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠Financially support the podcast via the ⁠⁠tip jar!
