Summary

Reviewers say 'Master' delves into racism, microaggressions, and institutional racism through horror, lauded for its atmosphere, Regina Hall's performance, and bold social commentary. However, it is criticized for a disjointed narrative, unresolved subplots, and failure to cohesively integrate themes. Some find the pacing slow and horror elements underdeveloped, while others appreciate its allegorical depth. The ending is divisive, with mixed reactions on its impact and closure.

Very interesting Horror / Drama

Ok this is not a traditional horror movie that many were expecting but instead it's more of a horror/drama film. It was intriguing throughout and held my attention. It's clever and smart showing that all may not be well as it seems. Give it a chance.

Master

A disappointment. It started out so good until and it kept being good until one point. It became so boring after and so slow that it made me not wanna pay attention to it anymore but I did to see how this film was gonna end up. I was waiting for the whole supernatural thing to be solved but nothing happened, just dialogues. It sure had a deep meaning but Regina Hall can do a lot better than this.

This is not a horror movie.

It is an allegory. It is about racism that is still smouldering.

It is not a bad movie but 'selling' a 'drama' movie as a horror, science fiction or whatever type movie is generally not a good idea.

I still liked it, it is smartly written with good performances, but i can imagine others feel 'betrayed'.

Strong direction, but suffers from a lack of a solid focus

Master is more concerned as a social commentary instead of as a horror film, but that doesn't mean negates its "scarryness." One must give Mariama Diallo a credit for her strong direction. Master definitely fascinating to watch. However, the film also suffers from a lack of a solid focus while the conveying process of its theme can a little bit falter sometimes. The ambiguity of its many aspects doesn't help either.

Huh?

Well that was confusing. After it finally ended I had no idea what the point of this film was. It started out ok but about half way in I was completely lost. The last half of the film was a complete mind ****. How I got through it is beyond me. It was shot well and has some good acting so 5 stars for a basic film.

How Well Does Regina Hall Know Her IMDb Credits?

We put Regina Hall to the test to see how well she knows her own career. We quiz her about her early jobs, the thing that has her most concerned about hosting the Oscars, and more.
