Review:
This movie has been on every horror fans radar since the first trailer dropped. Sophie Thatcher has become quite a scream queen with her roles in things like Yellowjackets and Heretic. Jack Quaid has starred in horror films like Scream and The Boys. The Boys might not be known as a horror show, damn, it really is. Lukas Gage stuck out as the creepiest part of the Smile 2 trailer, as he bashed himself in the face with a weight. Harvey Guillén starred in the horror comedies What We Do in the Shadows and Cursed Friends. All of these actors under one roof made me feel sure this movie would be a hit.
But more things sold me on it early on. Zach Cregger, behind last years hit Barbarian, produced this movie. And just the general plot: What happens when a robot goes too far?
Now a lot of early reviews of this movie said that they wish they never saw the trailer. Or that the trailer didn’t give away that Thatcher was a robot. But don’t worry. The movie will keep you guessing. There are twists and turns. There is a whole lot of blood, a whole lot of laughs, and action up until the very end.
I don’t want to say much more about this movie.
