★★★★ 85/100 - When I left the theater, an audience member turned back to me and simply said, "that was fucked." Spot on my fellow moviegoer, spot on.

Similar to my issues with Talk to Me, but this is also very derivative of things we’ve seen before except even more so and kinda boring. I’ve seen plenty of “evil foster parent” films and the resurrection plot had no suspense. Sure the body horror is gnarly (teeth shit always kills me), but doesn’t hold much weight. The performances are solid, I liked the siblings and Sally Hawkins does Sally Hawkins things. Even if it’s meant to be a more somber film, there should still be some sort of energy.

Two and a half years ago, YouTubers and twin brothers, Danny and Michael Philippou, brought their small, independent horror movie, Talk To Me, to audiences worldwide. Originally from Australia, the brothers were stunt performers who would film their stunts and put them on YouTube, becoming quite well-known over time. They then directed their first feature film, which made its way around the film festival circuit before being picked up by A24.

Like Blumhouse, production house and distributor A24 rose to prominence in the 2010s, especially through getting their names attached to some of the best horror movies of the decade. While the Blum boys are known for their keen budgeting and thrust for the mainstream, A24 carved its identity through scares challenging, unexpected, and experimental.

According to conventional wisdom, a horror flick released in the beginning of January isn’t supposed to be any good, but the Jason Blum- and James Wan-produced M3GAN danced its way into the hearts of critics who weren’t expecting the killer robot movie to be such a campy good time. #1 Adjusted Score: 110025% Critics Consensus: Unapologetically silly and all the more entertaining for it, M3GAN is the rare horror-comedy that delivers chuckles as effortlessly as chills.

It may have been bested by M3GAN in the Horror category, but Australian supernatural thriller Talk to Me was still one of the big breakout hits of the year, and it ultimately landed at the top of Best International Movies, competing against acclaimed films from Japan, France, Finland, Argentina, and Ukraine.
