What Bitch? (2020)
This brought me so much joy in just 8 minutes
I haven't laughed like that in a while. The tone is so different in the beginning, i thought it was gonna be one of those "teaching moment" short films but it was just the depiction of someone's Tia's crazy story. The ending made me laugh so much because I feel like the Tia has so much personality. She seems so cool and I wanna grab a beer with her! The end brought me so much joy.
Them (2021)
Please do not compare this to Jordan Peele.
This is a sad attempt at a Peele-esque horror movie yet it has absolutely none of the depth and 1/5th of the writing talent. The actors are amazing. They make the best of what they're given to work with but god this show was awful. I'm a black woman. I appreciate so stories that can depict what black life was really like, while blending that into a supernatural or horror element. When it's done well (like Episode 9 of Lovecraft Country), it's *chef's kiss* but this seems like a failed attempt at a copy of Get Out. It lacks the symbolism, the complex dialogue and authenticity. I think they really tried to make an overall point with the way this show is written but honestly it just feels like the writers tried their hardest to send a message but it was overshadowed by the terrible dialogue, random plot devices and pointless trauma p0rn. It fails to teach a lesson and only serves to agitate you.
And FYI if you're gonna try and portray stories about black life with black characters without it looking like a cheep knock off of Peele, please have more than 1 black director and 2 fully black writers for the entire series. Seriously. Idk what they expected with a mostly white crew writing for a show about a black family experiencing racism.
Malicious (2018)
This is just god awful.
This movie has just about every stereotypical bs horror trope you can imagine. A miscarriage, porcelain dolls, little ghost girls, possession, a "scary" old lady with a bad synthetic wig, a clueless husband who doesn't believe his wife's fear is valid, etc.
It's just a bad movie. The acting and dialogue is a 4/10 at best. Don't waste your time.
