This movie is easily in the top 5 I've seen in the last year. Go in completely blind and enjoy a smart protagonist while trying to figure out just how fucked everything is.
8/10
Got it. I enjoy a lot of just modern, creative horror that doesn't push too far into the arthouse world -- for me there's a point where there's too much plot given up to allow for artistic interpretation.
Just on the INSIDE of that line for me, are movies like Titane [2021 - Hulu] and Cronenberg's Crimes of the Future [2022 - Hulu.]
So as far as what I've loved on Shudder recently -- Paul Dood's Deadly Lunch Break, Unwelcome, The Devil's Candy [really great if you haven't seen it,] Brooklyn 45 [a bit of B horror vibe, but a really fun idea and setting carried by the actors,] Influencer, Deadstream [a bit jump-scarey, but enough humor to offset,] Sissy, Glorious, [fun, new, Lovecraftian,] The Innocents, What Josiah Saw, and Moloch -- probably round out my favorites on Shudder recently.
What about you? One of my favorites lately that press into the scifi horror world was a series on Netflix -- Archive 81 -- is definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it. It was ended after one season, but it's got a cozy, retro vibe going with scifi and horror elements mixed in.
Yeah but at least now you know your shampoo is pH balanced and made with sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate
The scene on the kitchen floor with the tongs. Yeesh. Stuff like that really gets me.
I went in completely blind and had a blast. I caught it from the beginning on Shudder TV, so I didn't even read the description.
I had no idea what to expect. I was suspicious, didn't know who to trust, and it just really added to the fun and horror of it all.
I'd give it a solid 6/10.
Ooooh yeah let's relive some childhood nightmares. Now in 4k!
