Been about 10 minutes since I left the theater and I already feel it settling in. What a f***ing visceral watch. The beginning alone made my skin crawl, like I can imagine a kid seeing that and being scarred like how kids felt about Pennywise back in the day. I think putting aside how disturbing of a watch it is, it’s also an incredibly engaging and interesting crime thriller, definitely could see the Silence of the Lambs comparison and a splash of Mindhunter as far as the tone of that sect of the film. Maika is a very commanding lead, playing such a timid character and doing so much with her face and tone of voice. Cage… Jesus Christ. Anytime he was onscreen I couldn’t breathe. There’s such a great balance of over the top Cage but when he needs to go all in on terrozing the screen, he goes to 11. Oz’ direction does so much to help the tone feel consistent while also allowing the audience to relax when necessary. Not only that, but it’s so well shot too. So many parts of this movie I was just studying the shots in case I might miss anything and took in a lot of the great cinematography. It’s so great to come out of a movie with this much hype and feeling that level be met. Definitely will be one of my favorite movies of the year.. perhaps THE movie of the year the more it sinks in.
9.5-10/10
It felt like something truly evil. Not generic or fake. Just something truly evil that can happen
