Get In. A French film about a family returning from vacation to find squatters in their home. Most of this isn’t a horror movie, instead meditating on feeling inadequate, manhood, and race. Every scene is dripping with these themes. It’s beautifully shot and acted as well. And when it’s ready to be a horror movie it’s truly horrific. This was a legitimately good film.
...then I watched a movie about a killer elevator.
The Lift is some fun from the Dutch. The premise is taken seriously enough to not be too campy. While the middle drags a bit the third act has a wonderfully tense dialogue-less climax.
And to weigh in on this Star Wars conversation, I appreciate TLJ for trying to do something different, and I did like the slow chase, Rey and Luke on the island, and a lot of the imagery. ROS was astoundingly bad. It was shocking.
A lot of the newer Star Wars films have parts of them that I like. The whole first act of Force Awakens is perfect. I like the second half of Rogue One as well. But man, ROS, **** that movie.
