The "you just have poor media literacy and don't understand satire" guy I guess.

From Beyond 1986
Batshit insane, overtly horny, and practical effects and makeup crafted with love.

Nosferatu 2024
Egger's interpretation of Nosferatu is simultaneously more true to history (i.e. Vlad the Impaler) and to Stoker's original Dracula (the plague and erotic horror).
As a bonus, we get typical Egger's dedication to practical effects, natural lighting, and production values alongside brilliant performances from everyone involved in the project.
My only (minor) gripe with the film was the mustache. Look, I get that it is historically accurate and an attempt to subverting expectations but... it's just so distracting! Call me…

The Life of Oharu 1952
Mizoguchi presents a world that serves petulant men and demands women as emotionless objects. Women must shoulder the burden of all men's problems while also, hilariously, be blamed for those problems despite being given no agency whatsoever. It is a pinnacle of abdicating responsibility, a pinnacle of abuse and punching-down, a pinnacle of man-child, and a pinnacle of hypocrisy.
In case you forgot, we still live in that world.
