...ridiculous

Rating: 2/10 (1 August 2019)

Ironically, this tepid little film has it's own doppelganger all it's own.There's the film that's all shrouded in heresay and media hype, courtesy of a one-hit director and then the actual shoddy film you get to watch once you've payed your money.Summed up - a new found capitalist making a film that rails against the evils and injustice of capitalism and corporate ID as a big 'message statement film'.Whilst collecting the rewards of course.Peele's doppelangers are neither scary or with any real redeeming social comment.They're just cartoon nasties wallowing around in near pitch darkness, (as has been the excruciating 'cop out' trend of the horror/suspense genre for the last 15 years or more).Comedy is spliced in between the mortal terror of this film to cover it's bases, since there's nil tenson or a decent scare in it.Without these interjections of jive humour, the whole flimsy thing would undoubtedly sink like a lead balloon.Cypress Hill and other like acts on the soundtrack, ranting on just like Santa's baddest elves also are used to depressing effect to prop up one's 'social conscience'.This film is not the one you 'only 'think' you've been hearing and reading about - it's merely just another fake, selfish Hollywood cash-cow.
