Welcome to the second half of my Women Interacting With Alternate Versions of Themselves Weekend Film Festival! Today’s movie is a stylized fable about aging (particularly as a woman) told as a horror story.
I’m not the guy to fairly comment on this film; metaphorical (allegorical? English is hard) horror is not usually my thing. I saw the trailer and thought: “This has an interesting premise. Maybe this one will work for me!”
Not really. Moore is great, Qualley is great, the production design is fun, and it’s fun to watch Quaid do this slimeball producer thing knowing that he’s also in a current hagiography playing Ronald Reagan, but I am not the audience for this film. I saw someone say this is like a fancy episode of Tales From The Crypt, which is pretty accurate. If that sounds like something you’d like, you’ll probably like this.
