This film is art and I'm obsessed with it. This was everything I wanted it to be, I'm smitten. I just want to say, amongst all the other obviously perfect aspects of this movie, the sound design was extraordinary. Weird, funky, creepy, visually stunning, I wish I could eat this movie.
Listen, I love Hugh Grant. I particularly love looking at his beautiful face. Unfortunately, I found his character in this film insufferable and haughty. And by the end of the film, I realized I was thirsty for more substance. More character substance, more story substance. I didn't hate the movie- I enjoyed the vibe, Sophie Thatcher's acting, and the suspense. It was fun, but not exciting, I felt understimulated. Unfortunately this movie will fall into the category: "forgettable"
This movie is going to put Oz Perkins on the map in a big way. The theater was full in the middle of the night for an original HORROR movie in 2024. What an exciting feeling in itself ! Horror Fam rejoice !
The visuals, sound design, acting, and overall vibe of this film was outstanding. The mystery was fun to follow and there were a few parts that made me genuinely uncomfortable.
Cinematography went wild with those wide shots…
Forever one of my absolute favorites, and definitely my favorite Cronenberg film. It needs no explaination but I'll give you one anyway. Firstly, Jeff Goldblum does such an amazing job evolving throughout the film. Literally. And it's heart-wrenching to watch, you feel such a genuine despair and pity for Brundle. You feel the weighted humanity of the situation and that's what makes it so horrific, in my opinion. Secondly, the SFX are just *mwah* chef's kiss. It's disgusting, deliciously disgusting. Cronenberg has always been a body horror special effects beast, that's just fact. And thirdly, the tagline to end all taglines, "Be afraid, be very afraid."
