    "Sometimes, dead is better."

    Yeah! Like this franchise!

    Skinamarink

    ★½

    A cool aesthetic, a bit of tension and a genuinely unsettling final shot are offset by some of the shittiest jump scares I've ever encountered, lots of nothingness and just an inability to vibe with what this had to offer. Just wasn't for me.

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    I recently watched a mini-doc on David Fincher's film techniques. One of the scenes that's mentioned is the famous "box" scene. When he filmed Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, he used a handheld camera as "shakycam" to represent the two losing control of the situation. When he filmed Kevin Spacey, he used a tripod so it would be shot in place to represent him having all the power.

    I had never noticed this before, that genius bastard.

    12 Angry Men is the best courtroom drama outside of the courtroom.

    This is probably the best one inside it.
