Lord of Misrule (2023)

Really bad, only redeeming quality is the cinematography/imagery in a few scenes.

[3/10 · 25 April 2024]

I don't think there was a single character that acted like a normal human being in this whole film. The plot twist was they were all aliens right? I mean it was obvious from the fifteen minute mark that the entire town was "in on it" when it comes to the weird harvest god cult thing. Like painfully obvious and in your face. So the town was so blatantly unconcerned and seemed happy, even the husband (who I almost thought was in on it) seemed totally unconcerned with his daughter's disappearance. So we just have scene after scene of "That's weird. Woah, that's weird. Ahhh, that's weird. Wow-ee, that's weird, hey you catching on that they are all in the cult yet bozo? The children being indoctrinated from a young age with "nature club" or whatever, them all berating her, a very clear "us and them" type scene, obviously if it's all the children it's all the adults too, but we figured that out like 40 minutes ago at this point didn't we? I mean just really on the nose indications that the town is all together and the protagonists are the outsiders, The same scene rehashed essentially over and over up until the end finale leads to a boring movie. There is already a dozen or so movies that are this same plot that do it better. Would rather watch Midsommar or even the scarecrow episode of Supernatural...
