TSK: Split. 2017. Thriller. Dealing with one man is an easy task. Finding out which man you're dealing with is a whole 'nother can of worms. This is one of those movies where the premise is so good that unless you're a massive curmudgeon, you'll be entertained by it. But on top of a cool premise, this movie delivered on quite a few stages. The dialogue between the three girls was dope (and about as realistic as any I've ever seen in this type of scenario). The setting was dope - kept me guessing as to where they actually were during the movie. I also really liked the wardrobe for the antagonist as well. Speaking of the antagonist ... holy shit was this role played to perfection. This may just be recency bias, but I feel like this performance could, at some point, be mentioned in the same convo as Hopkins as Hanbal Lector and Nicholsen in the Shining. James Mcavoy's control over his facial expressions and mannerisms throughout the entirety of the film completely sold the premise and made me feel genuinely disturbed. I really liked where they took it with the end, and given it was an M Night movie I was expecting some wishy washy bullshit. All in all this was a really fun movie that I could easily see myself watching a couple times before the year is over. Highly recommend a theater viewing - 9/10

TSK: The Neon Demon. 2016. Thriller / supernaturaly. A young girl runs away from home, looking to become the next great model. What she finds is a dark, and mysterious industry. I'm going to say upfront that this was a very bad movie. It was so over the top try-hard artsy and a massive pain to get through. Quinn from Dexter was a massive cornball photographer that made me cringer just by existing. TBH I hated everybody except for one character (the makeup assistant) and she turned out to be the fucking weirdest of the lot. At various times, there was a cougar that broke into a hotel room and was just chilling there (a hotel run by Keanu Reeves, nonetheless), A woman fingering another dead woman, a woman taking a nap in a grave while topless, multiple models being vampiric / cannibalistic, and multiple scenes that are seizure inducing. This movie felt like Heathers if Heather tried to take itself seriously and it felt like Black Swan (a movie I didn't even like) if Black Swan had no plot or character development. This movies attempt to give you an inside look into the world of modeling is so cornball and ludicrous that I can't even say there is a takeaway from this movie. Oh, and everybody acted like the lead was leagues above all of the other models around her - newsflash, she isn't. It made no fucking sense. This is 2 hours that I can't get back and I highly recommend avoiding this movie. 2/10, and I only give it 2 because I finished it.
