The Scariest Movie Ever?

Rating: 7/10 (24 March 2019)

It was a really good movie. I think the media kinda took some away from it though. I'd classify it as a suspense thriller, but I don't wanna focus on the media hype. It was a great original idea that kept you guessing throughout. The actress Lupita (Adelaide Wilson) did great and the acting of the remaining cast was decent. It got pretty brutal in regards to some of the scenes in the middle of the movie which I appreciated. The score of the movie was good and unique in sprinkling some well known tracks and the dark and ominous tones. The comedic relief was a bit much I thought. I understand it is Jordan Peele and they kinda go hand in hand but to become a "master of horror" I think he needs to use it more strategically. The cinematography was pretty straightforward. I feel with the plot of the movie they could have gotten a bit more creative. The ending still has me thinking which is good but i don't want to give any spoilers. I understand the idea of people existing without a known purpose is a theme but I'm definitely gonna see it again to draw examples and correlations emphasizing that point. Overall, there are a lot of lessons to draw from this movie whether it be to face your fears, promote social justice, or simply enjoy a movie. At the end of the day, it's a good good post-movie conversation and absolutely worth a watch.
