Great flick

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 2018)

I really liked this movie. I thought it had a lot to say about current day racism. The white people in this film viewed black people as physically valuable but did not recognize any value in their minds or any other aspect of their beings. The quote "black is in fashion" indicates that black people are just a commodity for white people to use - and in this film, they do use them in the extreme.
I loved the ending, I loved the kill scenes, I loved the feeling of being trapped that this movie made me feel. I was able to really sympathize with Chris (as much as a white woman can) and I loved that he felt fleshed out as a character. I liked him as a person, and I felt this made me better able to empathize with him.
This was my second viewing and I have to say I really appreciated the "something's not right" hints portrayed by Georgina, Walter, and Logan, as well as the white people in this film, more the second time around. For me, knowing the reason behind the odd behavior made it that much more horrific for me.
My only problems with this film were the use of hypnotism because I just don't buy that it could be that powerful, the use of neurosurgery because there are too many holes there like how were memories and personality transferred in tact to the other person, and I felt the comedic aspect the character Rod brought to the film did not fit in with the overall plot. As much as I appreciate horror comedy, it did not work for me in this particular film.
