What's the last film you watched randomly and ended up loving

Random Movie Discoveries

I recently stumbled upon the French horror film Raw by Julia Ducournau and decided to rent it. Honestly, I didn’t realize it was a French movie at first—it completely surprised me with its intensity and originality. The story follows a young vegetarian who, after a hazing ritual at veterinary school, develops an unusual craving for meat. It’s disturbing, fascinating, and beautifully shot, leaving a lasting impression long after it ends.


“I didn’t even know it was French lol. It was really something—unsettling but amazing.”
