The Invisible Man

Sigh. Easily the best movie I saw in what has unfortunately been a short cinematic year. Elizabeth Moss is stellar and just one of many recent performances that make me wish we had some type of prestigious awards ceremony for just horror movies and their performances as well. She's really great. And I liked how they tied in the elements of supernatural and mental as well. Not only does she have to worry about her ex who committed suicide coming after her in invisible form, she has to worry about the state of her mental health due to the lack of support from anyone around her. Because of course this is that type of scenario where someone swears something is going on and everyone and their mother unintentionally (and in some cases intentionally) is gas lighting her, making her question what is real and what is not. Which is in turn more bone chilling then an invisible figure who could cut your throat at a moment's notice (nudge nudge).

3/4

The Hunt

The people that were genuinely offended by this movie are the same fools that are iv'ing each other with disinfectants as we speak, this movie was a fucking riot.

3/4

Wendigo

I feel like they intended to make a slow burner out of this, but instead ended up with something more similar to when you don't let the burner catch on before jamming it all the way to "High". It just felt like a big miss. There really isn't any suspense built up in regards to the Wendigo figure himself, and by the time you see him, it reminds me of the Jeepers Creepers sequel where you see him way too fucking much. I felt like there could have been a cool myth or be careful what you wished for type of story with this creature and how he's summoned upon innocent people, but all I felt was be careful what I dig out of the Amazon Prime bin.

1/4
