Fascinating hybrid

Rating: 8/10 (7 January 2018)

This film could be categorized as a horror film, or a satire. It has elements of both, although the Golden Globes nominating it in the "Comedy/Musical" category is a stretch.
Much has already been said about the film by critics and in other IMDb reviews. A film like this is only as good as the performances, and they are incredible. The entire cast must've realized what an original piece this is, merging elements from home invasion movies like The Purge with social comedies like Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. If you are familiar with the careers of Bradley Whitford and Catherine Keener, you will be knocked out by what they do in this film. Allison Williams, daughter of Brian (those cheekbones give that away...), is also downright surprising here.
Perhaps the Golden Globes placed this film in the Comedy/Musical category since there were so many fine dramas to come out in 2017. We can only be as lucky with movies next year...
