John Malkovich singing original Nile Rodgers / The-Dream songs is…..the only dreamy part of this film. The rest is a nightmare.
Is Moretti just Malkovich reusing the acting he didn’t get to show to the world bc I Love You, Daddy was shelved? Maybe. Is it possible he’s just a talented actor? Sure!
All I know is he didn’t tell us whether he did that kid in I Love You, Daddy, and he didn’t tell us if he wore the teeth in this.
The camp listening scene was so bad and so good. Woof. Did not think Malkovich pulled it off clean and the star struck shots had an…off quality to them lol
Gotta love the capitalism / “anyone can make it” allegories! They sure are hot right now!
It’s hard to make “get out” movies after Get Out, but you at least have to have some interesting twists. A24 is sooo mad it didn’t get Jordan Peele.
The entire plot is rehashed from a number of similar films and every time it becomes exciting it does something to lose you again. Don’t know how everyone involved with this film signed on knowing the conclusion. Including the victims! HOW DID NOBODY PUT TOGETHER WHY THEY WERE SELECTED lol
Why would you even try hiding smfh
Love that they let a psychopathic mass murderer have a real, unrestricted one-on-one visit with one of their victim’s
Tony Hale’s character was also an interesting choice!! As in:
*Tim Robinson voice* “I said it was INTERESTING…”
More of a cap gun than a Magnum. It’s definitely a Cult film! (Sorry, I had to)
