Holy shizniz batman! Where do I being with this masterpiece in satirical storytelling. Glenn still has it! From some one line zingers to straight up WILD acting. The story waste no time throwing you right into the chaos of daily life for a single mom, her 3 children, and sick mother. New house. Stinky smells. Noises in the night. Strange events packed into a dense family drama with to much fat. Under the mess is a good story with some interesting ideas. Where it fails is with a family story that's over packed with what feels like a tv series worth a drama. This movie could have worked much better in a mini series format.
Now let's get into the dialog. This movie said to Hereditary, "Hold my beer." The dialog at points is hilariously awful. I laughed multiple times so hard my gut hurt. Glenn Close was the cherry on top in the chaos. Chefs kiss.
Outside of story issues. Poors cgi. Some rough edits don't really improve the quality. The cinematography was well done with excitement color palette.
In all seriousness, Mo'Nique was the best part of the movie. Her scenes brought the movie back from it's satirical fridges to something with heart. I really hope to see her in more films. I think the horror genre fits Mo'Nique.
