I was a big fan of Babak Anvari’s film UNDER THE SHADOW. The look of this film was really interesting. The color was particularly cool and meshed well with the New Orleans locale. I’m also a fan of Armie Hammer, Dakota Johnson, and Zazie Beetz. Overall though it all really fell short. Will (Armie Hammer) is so unlikable in every way while also making decisions that make no sense. There was something in here that could have been cool and at times felt like it was trying to be something like Denis Villeneuve’s ENEMY. It also tried to have an H.P. Lovecraft vibe without actually showing anything. I also think Dakota Johnson was really under utilized.
