Featured review
Cringe-Suspense Horror
I put this off for a month, namely because It's the The '99 film was one of the first films I remember analysing properly and dissecting as a "Film Study", I loved it. That and it was in black and white (not against the choice for modern black and white necessarily, more just the locations involved I thought would pop more in colour!) I didn't see how having this as a 8 part 8 hour long series could or would be needed.
The first episode lets you sink right into the aesthetic, clearly something feels a bit off. Episodes 3 and this one- 5, took a 10 minute scene from that film and expanded it to a full hour, without loosing your attention it builds and builds with this gut wrenching suspense sequence. This adds so much to the whole feeling of the series. The fact it's in black and white almost adds a Hitchcock-ian thriller feel to it. To me it's a great blend of this cringe like suspense horror.
This series is shot so incredibly well, every frame is true artwork. It gets better and better with each episode couldn't recommend it enough! Don't get me wrong the performances are top notch but in the Spotlight is Zaillian's camera. It lingers just a bit too long sometimes which creeps you out, then when it needs to it'll edit quickly (example of the cat in ep 5).
It's an over used phrase but this series IS so deliberately paced and I wouldn't be surprised if it looses viewers early on, especially if they don't know the events of the films. It's a slow burn, but enjoy that.
I've still got. 3 episodes to go, but I'll dare say this is a masterpiece already.
