Summary
Zoe Kravitz, a mediocre actor, decides to become a, mediocre, director.
This may be one of the worst horror films of 2024 up there with In A Violent Nature and I Saw The TV Glow, however, where this film differs from them is that it isn’t offensively bad, but rather incredibly lazy, average and uninspired.
The main issue with this film is that it cannot decide if it even wants to be a horror, at times it is trying for something one may misconstrue for comedy if you squinted. The comedy doesn’t land of course and is the same sort of awkward female nerdy humour you have seen in other films before.
Then you get into the scares of the film, which are probably best described as Get Out if Jordan Peele was a talentless hack who was hit in the head several times and then tried to write something he viewed as social commentary. The comparison to Get Out works as this is social horror, it wants to scare you but also make a point about the lives of the super wealthy, you and every child in the surrounding area could likely tell you what that point is as it is basic and really obvious, rich people treat poor people badly.
Overall, this film highlights why nepotism is killing the film industry and why not just anyone can direct.
1/5
Pros.
It is not offensively bad
Cons.
The humour is odd and misplaced
The horror doesn’t work as the message isn’t fresh
It feels played out
It is boring
