INTO THE DARK: ALL THAT WE DESTROY


I struggled a bit with this entry. I think it would have worked better as a short film. That being said Chelsea Stardust (Satanic Panic) directs the proceedings well enough and gets some strong performances from her talented cast which include oddly sexy Israel Brossuard (Happy Death Day) and a very welcome Samantha Mathis. The movie centers around a scientist whose also a mother. She has managed to create clones. She uses her discovery to ressurect a girl her son brutally murdered over and over again in Hope's ofcuring his murderous appetite. The film's main problem isn't its excessive mean spirit, it's mostly the odd pacing that continually takes you out of the movie. Because of that it's hard to be completely immersed. That being said it is an intriguing film and fits perfectly in Hulu's Into the Dark horror anthology series. Because it pushes boundaries and explores new ground for better or worse. Mothers Day episode.

3/5
