shareThey did this with the Invisible Man too. Imagine if they remake "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" and how they spin a toxic masculinity story out of that
shareIt's the same guy who the did both.
shareIs it really?? Well, he did a better job on HOLLOWMAN, though I've never watched the sequels and probably won't waste my time
shareNo, I meant same guy wrote & directed The Invisible Man & Wolf Man. Had nothing to do with Hollow Man.
Saw Hollow Man when I was a teen & had a blast. Was genuinely surprised to find out years later, how freaking low its rated. I think it's a 5 on IMDB & panned by critics.
I didn't even know there were sequels until pretty recently. Have no interest in them.
Sounds about right. I wish we'd just get something like Nosferatu.
A straight up horror movie. A gothic tale or a classic monster movie.
Nah, it's either an action movie or it's a message about abuse or trauma.
Excited for Guillermo Del Toro Frankenstein though.
Agree. Even though I didn't love Nosferatu as much as I hoped, it was great seeing a straight up gothic horror movie on the big screen. Very rare we see them at all these days.
shareIt was honestly a breath of fresh air.
Kinda reminds me of a comment I remember reading that said that we don't get straight up comedies anymore.
It has to a "comedy and something else." An action comedy, a sci-fi comedy, a superhero comedy, you get that the point.
That's how I feel about these monster movies. Can't be a straight monster movie. It's either an action movie with monsters. A romance, apocalyptic, comedic movie with monsters.
Or maybe it's just a movie commenting on subjects like abuse, trauma, racism, immigration.
So the whole thing is just a metaphor for toxic masculinity?
Such a fresh take. So brave. We haven't had any films take that tack in recent years, so this is a welcome (and needed you toxic men!) development. share
I didn't watch the scene, but one reviewer stated that the father yelled at young Chris Abbott while he was wandering in the woods with a hunting rifle, and stated that the whole "cycle of abuse" allegory fell flat since the father wasn't unreasonable.
