Review originally written for TheMovieBuff.

Originally (and more aptly) titled “February,” Oz Perkins’ 2015 directorial debut certainly fits amongst its counterparts at A24. The studio has established itself firmly within the “arthouse horror” genre with entries like “The Witch,” “Hereditary,” “Midsommar,” “It Comes at Night,” and “The Monster.” These films are deliberately paced and thoughtfully crafted features which utilize genre elements as metaphors for the human stories at their core, and you probably either absolutely love them or they make…

Refreshing to see an honest to god good marvel movie again even if it is unfortunately a recession indicator. This one feels surprisingly un-fucked-with. I actually liked spending time with these characters, and they are written and performed with enough depth to latch on to - and their struggles tie neatly into the themes. 

It’s nice to know that I haven’t been the problem this whole time!

Shameless rip-off of a Mike Myers classic. I do NOT recommend you show this to children.
