Absolutely floored by the A-tier creature design; aswell as demented camera angles and eye-popping colors that take this closer to fucking Dr. Caligari than anything else.
Shit, I'd even say the dated 2000's vibe, breakneck editing and clunky script are part of the charm lol
Top tier cynical cinema. A circus of media clownery, institutional corruption and tragedy paraphernalia.
Just when you're getting used to the bleak irony of it all, Wilder just pulls the rug from under you. Once you're down there, you'll only find despair.
Billy Wilder man, probably the best to ever do it. In the states, at least.
Now this is the real deal...
If this is the direction every Blumhouse monster movie remake takes, it might shape up to be one of my new favorite movie franchises.
Give Whannel everything. Give Moss an Oscar. And keep it up with this VFX work and these thrilling set-pieces.
I had about the shittiest day of the year so far today but this managed to put the biggest smile on my face. So yeah I'm eternally grateful.
