Don't listen to the haters this movie is incredible
Ah yes the review-bombing brigade is at it again. Anyway. Ignore the troll reviews. This movie is SO GOOD.
It is a true child of the original, seamlessly weaving in the 1992 film's plot and expanding on the issues it presented. Yes, the original film was about race and class too. It's almost as if these subjects are nothing new.
It's a beautiful movie, amazingly shot, and well-acted. This is not a jump scare movie, it is a slow burn that fills you with dread. Just enough body horror and gore to satisfy those of us who enjoy such things. And yes, much of the horror is based on black people's actual lived experiences. It is based in systemic injustices woven into the fabric of our culture. The monstrous results will continue to exist until we examine them and are willing to admit the roles we all play.
And apparently, a lot of folks are too scared to look in the mirror and see what's reflected in it.
