Norm V Sep 15 Still unable to connect history to the man in the basement experience. See more metalliphil Sep 14 Interesting storytelling and solid acting w a decent build up that didnt end up revealing anything to the audience they dont already know, so the ending ends up half hearted.

I’m sorry to break it to anybody with that delusional notion. I literally live here lol. I was optimistic about this movie because I really like both actors of course William Defoe is William Defoe. I don’t know the lead actors name, but I really do like him. However, I turned the movie off when he was having a conversation with his girlfriend about evil. She said that either her grandmother or grandfather told her that all evil in the world is white people. I was like what just happened. This was going somewhere and now we’re doing this. It’s too bad a movie just can’t be a movie to entertain you. I didn’t finish it, but the sentiment of white people being the source for all evil in the world is racist and absurd. Try making an entertaining movie and stop race baiting. It really is a shame that these writers and directors push their political ideology.

The film does a good job of pulling the viewer in early, leaving you curious about the characters’ next moves and how the story will ultimately unfold. It was also nice to see a few familiar faces on screen. However, I didn’t fully appreciate the underlying tone of bias toward African Americans. That said, it was still refreshing to see an African American lead carrying a story with a plot like this. I always appreciate when films incorporate discussions around mental health, and this movie does attempt to explore those themes. There is also a fair amount of symbolism layered throughout the narrative, which adds some depth to the story. I wouldn’t classify this film as horror. It fits more comfortably within the psychological thriller or suspense genre. Overall, this was a one-time watch for me. See more Read all reviews
