Quoted from vidguy:Meagan Navarro of Bloody Disgusting gave it 4 out of 5 skulls, and I usually agree with her recommendations. I’m going to see it with tempered expectations.
Peele is becoming very much like Shyamalan
I think the Shyamalan comparison is apt here, as far as him now having to live up to these expectations. I suspect it will pass though. Plus Peele was on Twitter saying John Carpenter is his favorite horror director of all time, and who’s gonna argue with that?
I read a bunch of reviews and they seem to imply the ending doesn’t quite stick, but the vast majority are very positive. I’d have to agree that many reviewers anticipated some next layer of commentary which either doesn’t exist, or isn’t clear enough to them. It WAS made pretty clear it’s an homage to vintage b-movies (there are a bunch of Easter eggs in the trailer), so maybe it’s all up there on the screen. Will find out at 7 tonight!
