Sadly this film didn't work for me as well as I would have preferred. It's a shame because I had such high hopes for this film. It is well-shot and I like that it's creepy and gory but everything else simply didn't land for me. What begins with a promising start slowly turns into another uninspired horror film loaded with clichés and ends with a big reveal that's awfully predictable. The performances never manage to engage me enough to care. What really bothers me is the constant attempts at being funny that end up being cringy and make so many scenes fall flat.

Wow this movie was so fucking good

Well, this was better than expected. Veers off in many directions, some of them expected, others less so. Gruesome, gory, and really quite disturbing, this is one of the better horror movies I have seen in a while.

_Son_ tackles some very steep topics for it's genre and poultry runtime, but manages to maintain a thrilling ride with a claustraophobic atmosphere throughout. While I feel some of it's beats lacked the punch they intended, the reveals and explanations are satisfying enough to call this good overall. Definitely worth a viewing, even if it succumbs to jump scares and **LOUD NOISES** a few too many times for my liking.
