Why the Original ‘Cat People’ Trumps the R-rated Remake
Jacques Tourneur’s “Cat People” (1942) is one of those black and white horror movie discoveries that only added to my lifelong movie obsession.
Here is an unabashed B-movie, one of many from Hungarian producer Val Lewton, that suggests so much from its pulpy title and delivers, in place of cheap thrills, a suggestive, highly psychological, and thoughtful exploration of human character.
Lewton made other films with Tourneur (“I Walked With a Zombie” is among their most famous), but the sinister, dreamlike feel of “Cat People” has me revisiting it at least once a year. I’ve subjected my film classes to it every semester, with most students balking at the film’s subtlety, while others would connect to it on a deeper, more personal level.
Tourneur’s “Cat People” stars the hypnotic, lovely Simone Simon as Irena, seen drawing a caged panther in a zoo. She befriends Oliver (Kent Smith), who is understandably smitten with her.
After a brisk courtship, Oliver proposes they marry. While Irena is taken by Oliver and initially unthreatened by his chemistry with Alice (Jane Randolph), Oliver’s friend and work partner, Irena’s gradual jealousy creates tension within the three.
A far more troubling problem is that Irena, a Serbian in New York, believes that she comes from tribe of Cat People, who turn into panthers when sexually aroused and murder anyone with whom they mate.
This detail is explained in the most chaste way possible for a film from 1942.
Nevertheless, “Cat People,” on a subtextual level, is about the fear of sex and how sexual intimacy turns us into animals. The film is also a psychological puzzle, as Irena’s questionable state of mind and some visual clues allow us to ponder if her belief in the Cat People is ludicrous or plausible.
While “Cat People” is a horror film, it positions its heroine as both the potential villain and, if looked at another way, a victim of her husband’s lack of understanding and empathy.
Tourneur’s “Cat People” is among the most influential films of its genre, with its rich ambience, use of sound and shadow and emphasis on sexual longing and repression. It’s a terrific film.
Paul Schrader’s 1982 remake is strikingly similar to the original in terms of the basic story and recreates its most famous sequences but provides a different and not altogether successful experience.
It opens with visuals akin to a child’s fairy tale illustration (or, perhaps, an image right out of the 1944 horror-lite, child’s fantasy-like sequel, “The Curse of the Cat People”).
Rather than allow the suggestion of Tourneur’s film and indulge in the mystery of whether the title characters are real, Schrader’s film literalizes the lore of the Cat People. The prologue is intense and beautiful, courting ridicule and mostly avoids it.
Pushing in on lead Nastassja Kinski’s eye as her character introduction was a sharp choice. Set in New Orleans, Kinski’s Irena meets her brother, Paul (alcolm McDowell, a decade after “A Clockwork Orange”) at the airport. The reunion is affectionate, though it later leans in the direction of incest, as Paul not only declares himself as one of the Cat People to Irena but also explains that only they could mate, as sex with a human would result in one person transforming into a leopard and the other ending up dead.
Irena becomes attracted to a zookeeper named Oliver (John Heard), though his professional relationship with Alice (Annette O’Toole) presents Irena with a romantic rival.
RELATED: Why Horror Remakes Are Doomed to Fail
Schrader’s “Cat People” is peculiar and eerie. At one point early on, Kinski is walking through the zoo and nearly runs into a peacock, a moment that might either be an accident or just knowingly peculiar.
Kinski’s Irena has an otherworldly presence to match Simon’s, but the emphasis on psychological mystery, unrequited love and sexual aching made the journey of the original Irena far more compelling. The 1982 “Cat People” takes too long to set up the love triangle and prolongs the inevitable in the third act.
Having the original focusing on a love triangle between a sophisticated couple and an outsider, whose social abnormalities make her an awkward fit in their circle, proved masterful. Here, Heard and O’Toole as zookeepers is an easy, uninspired choice.
They’re zookeepers, get it? They want to keep Irena’s wildness in a cage.
The triangle in the original wasn’t so on-the-nose. As good as O’Toole is in this, Randolph’s scene-stealing turn as a sophisticated and frank co-worker infatuated with Smith’s Oliver was, likewise, a more gripping dynamic.
There are visual and audio pleasures in Schrader’s film, as Giorgio Moroder’s cool score and David Bowie’s intoxicating single “Putting Out the Fire with Gasoline” are obvious highlights.
Tourneur’s style, with his shadowy, insinuating black and white imagery, is very different from Schrader’s film, with its striking lighting design.
Overall, the comparisons aren’t favorable: in the original, a well-regarded scene has Irena running into another of the Cat People, as a separate woman with a feline appearance sees her in a restaurant, says “Moi esestra” (“my sister” in Serbian) and runs off, a chilling moment.
It’s recreated in the ’82 version with a similar figure casually saying to Irena, “Mi Hermana,” which doesn’t have the same effect.
The original has a walk n’ stalk sequence that is still scary, with the sudden appearance of a bus pulling up with a hiss as an effective jump scare. In the ’82 version, the moment falls flat. Likewise, the new version of the swimming pool scene, now only notable for the nudity. “Cat People” is better served psychological than literal.
It’s odd but true that the original, despite being 50 years older, still has this one beat.
Hungarian producer Lewton specialized in low-budget psychological thrillers that could be sold on the basis of their name but offered far more than cheap thrills. Whereas Tourneur had Lewton, Schrader has Jerry Bruckheimer.
If anything, the emphasis on imagery and music is a reflection on Bruckheimer, who at this point was best known for his involvement in the music industry. Not for nothing, what most people tend to remember about Schrader’s “Cat People” is David Bowie’s ”Putting Out the Fire” and not much else.
On this day in 1983, David Bowie released Let’s Dance. Thanks to the title song, as well as “Modern Love,” “China Girl,” and “Cat People (Putting Out Fire),” it sold 12 million copies worldwide, making it Bowie’s best-selling album. pic.twitter.com/cTHGQpsFMr

The gore in Schrader’s film is vivid and gross but all the rich subtext and psychological explorations, of the sin waiting beneath Irena’s skin, are now made literal. Schrader’s film naturally goes further than Tourneur’s, but carrying an R-rated has not made for an improved vision.
“Cat People” easily surpasses Schrader’s prior directorial effort, the over-praised “American Gigolo” from 1980 (which has aged terribly). However, Schrader’s other horror entry, the deeply troubled “Dominion: Prequel to The Exorcist” (2005), which is thought provoking but feels unfinished, is a stronger work than his “Cat People.”
The final scene, presenting a quasi-solution for Irena, is kind of kinky, kind of tragic but mostly an anticlimax.
In a body of work that includes adapting “The Last Temptation of Christ” and writing “Taxi Driver” for Martin Scorsese and (to name just a few) directing “Blue Collar” (1978), “Patty Hearst” (1988) and “First Reformed” (2017), anything Schrader does deserves our attention and willingness to take a walk along his always challenging tight rope.
Schrader’s “Cat People” is one of those movies I return to every five years or so, in hopes that I’ll like it better or see something I previously overlooked. I find the film intriguing and entertaining, but Tourneur’s film, which I watch once a year, is definitive.
Whichever version you see first, these two films, separated by 40 years, offer rich contrasts in approach while telling the same story. Both films are, under the surface, about the fear of sex, presented as a grownup fairy tale about how, really, we’re all cat people, just holding back the impulse to scratch.

Unplugging Review: A Dull Attempt at Backwoods Comedy
A married couple's attempt to get away from their digital life predictably devolves into backwoods shenanigans. Unplugging's brief slivers of comedy don't compensate for a woefully thin script. The premise is milked dry early in the second act. Unplugging then uses goofy interactions with cardboard characters as lame filler material. Eva Longoria and Matt Walsh have believable chemistry with each other and make the film watchable on a basic level, but amateurish direction wastes the talent of its veteran leads.

‘Ferngully: The Last Rainforest’ – When Entertainment Trumped the Message
The idea of “Ferngully: The Last Rainforest” (1992) was that you could make an environmentally conscious animated film for children and, perhaps just as importantly, you didn’t need The Walt Disney Company to do it.
Based on Diana Young’s “Ferngully” stories, here is anomaly: an animated musical/comedy/fantasy that aims to make children aware of environmental issues. Needless to say, it has a cult following.
Directed by Bill Kroyer and released to coincide with Earth Day, “Ferngully: The Last Rainforest” begins with chalk drawings, telling us the origin of the tree creatures. We meet a flurry of them, with Crysta, our main protagonist, a tiny fairy voiced by Samantha Mathis.
Crysta engages with Zac, a human who magically becomes the same size as her. She also encourages the forest creatures to battle an invasive, polluting monster, hidden within a giant machine called The Leveler, which is tasked with tearing down the rainforest.
The Leveler workers are lazy idiots, motivated by overtime, greed and little else. Humankind, as depicted here, is basically a collection of morons (Zac only solidifies this interpretation).
The villainous Hexxus (note how close the name is to EXXON) is voiced by a lip-smacking Tim Curry. Who better to play talking sludge? I mean that as a compliment, as Curry has proven throughout his career that there are no unplayable roles.
As he did in the HBO TV movie, “The Worst Witch,” Curry can take a nothing song and turn it into a showstopper – here, the absurd “Toxic Love” is better than it has any right to be, because Curry positively sells it.
Curry can sell a line like “a fairy fornication” into carnal pleasure for the ear buds.
The whole thing gets very ’90s real fast, as Zac air surfs on a leaf, while a guitar on the soundtrack thrashes with “extremeness.” Then, the score briskly changes to hip hop, as a lizard voiced by Tone Loc tries to eat Zac.
Later on, someone is referred to as a “bodacious babe” (I was a teen during the ’90s but never used those two words to describe anyone I my life).
Later, Zac pushes PLAY on his Walkman cassette player, starts a generic cover of “Land of 1,000 Dances” and, to the film’s credit, the fairies are as annoyed as we are…until they start dancing along.
RELATED: ‘Final Fantasy’ Tried, and Failed, to Change Movies
Christian Slater is on hand to voice Mathis’ best friend, Pips; Slater should have been the lead, as his distinctive vocals would have been better utilized for Zac, the human who becomes fairy-sized and becomes the audience surrogate. Jonathan Ward’s vocal performance is all right, but Slater would have been a much better pick.
Crysta, like Ariel the Little Mermaid, goes too far up to view the human world, despite being warned to “never go above the canopy.” Crysta even gets a magical mentor figure, “Magi,” who functions in this film the same way the fathers of Ariel and Moana did in those movies.
It all feels very Don Bluth, with characters and offbeat designs reminiscent of his work. It also doesn’t play it safe, unlike other animated films of the time (such as “Jetsons: The Movie” from two years earlier). There are nice original cuts on the soundtrack by Sheena Easton, Elton John and Raffi, though composed Alan Silvestri’s score is, disappointingly, just-okay.
“Ferngully: The Last Rainforest” is on the higher end of eco-friendly kid flicks, a subgenre that includes the likes of “Born Free” (1966), “Free Willy” (1993) and “Happy Feet” (2006).As a heart-on-its-sleeve, painfully earnest Save the Planet entertainment, it is, thankfully, so much better than the dreadful, hall-of-fame bad all-star “The Earth Day Special” (1990).
At one point, Crysta asks, “How can you live without trees?” She puts her hand on a tree and asks, “Can’t you feel its pain?”
If that sounds cornball, it’s still far preferable to the time Bette Midler played a hospitalized Mother Earth in the aforementioned Earth Day Special (I’m calling it: “The Earth Day Special” is much worse and far more painful to endure than “The Star Wars Holiday Special”).
You could also do worse in terms of animation – remember, the animated TV series “Captain Planet and the Planeteers” (1990-1992) was also around during this era.
Despite some missteps, the film has a secret weapon: whenever it gets too chatty and didactic, Batty Koda literally swoops down to save it. The character is voiced by Robin Williams and it feels like a tryout for his iconic Genie in “Aladdin,” which was released at the end of the same year.
Williams’ “Batty Rap” is insane – I recommend watching that part with the subtitles on, as Williams’ riffing within the piece takes what could have been a banal throwaway (as well as a potentially embarrassing 90’s artifact) and turns it into a surreal tour de force. There are nuggets of Williams’ cracked comic genius scattered throughout the film.
There’s lovely animation and detail, though perhaps “Ferngully: The Last Rainforest” is most famous for its eventual comparison to the biggest hit every released by 20th Century Fox.
The plot comparisons to James Cameron’s “Avatar” (2009) are impossible to overlook. Considering that Cameron also made films at 20th Century Fox (which distributed “Ferngully: The Last Rainforest”), there’s no way he didn’t see this or wasn’t aware of it.
RELATED: 5 Reasons the Animated Batman World Matters
The two films are both love stories, in which the couple in question involves an indigenous forest creature and a human whose size has been altered. Meanwhile, human forces are oppressing the indigenous creatures and there’s a standoff in which the forest creatures try to halt the attempts at progress by the humans.
Forget “Dances With Wolves” (1990)- if Cameron cribbed from anything, it’s this movie. Does that mean “Ferngully: The Last Rainforest” is also a metaphor for colonialism and land abuse? Perhaps, though the film is too light and silly for its weightier messages to stick.
Yet, the third act scenes of the forest aglow and engaging in a faceoff with the Hexxus is the strongest and most serious portion. Nevertheless, the climactic sequence of halting the efforts of The Leveler has none of the sustained suspense and excitement of the Mrs. Brisby stopping a tractor from killing her family in Don Bluth’s animated masterpiece, “The Secret of NIMH” (1982).
The way The Leveler is finally defeated is pretty cool, if overly obvious.
It closes on Zac’s casual suggestion that, “Guys, things have gotta change.” Still, this isn’t propaganda, only because the mainstream qualities overwhelm much of the serious intentions in the screenplay.
Though the end credits do inform us that “Proceeds went to help the environment,” this is less a heavy-handed message movie than a well-made children’s film with some good things on its mind.

Or those memories are of the particular musky brand of scent associated with entering the store’s domain inside a mall. When American malls were once bustling and alive with shoppers looking for the season’s hottest fashion, Abercrombie stood out with its shuttered windows, dark interiors, and the endless posters of half-naked male models.

A brilliant supporting ensemble, led by the fantastic Helen Mirren, plays a dedicated and frustrated family. Supporting their patriarch's noble yet incredibly foolish intentions. The Duke is a ray of cinematic light. Everyone will walk out of the theater beaming.

Choose or Die Review: Reality is Cursed in New Netflix Horror Movie
Choose or Die is a fun but vague horror movie from Netflix about an old branching decision-based video game that has the power to manipulate reality and cause damage. It's a typically polished production from Netflix, with a great look to it, a wonderful score, and great lead performance, not to mention some pretty ghastly scenes that should satisfy any gore-hounds. It also has a subtle but intriguing sociopolitical message, but at just 85 minutes though (10 of which are credits), the film feels entirely too short, inconsequential, and is an extremely rare case of a horror flick actually needing more time to tell its story.

Then turns into a toothless tiger when the hapless protagonist learns the bewildering truth. Chariot's fleeting moments of dark humor don't make up for a massively underwhelming climax; which left me confused and annoyed.

The Commonwealth brought the old world of class divisions, greed, and political elitism back into the picture. Maggie's (Lauren Cohan) refusal to kiss the ring of Commonwealth leader Pamela Milton (Laila Robins) and her duplicitous deputy, Lance Hornsby (Josh Hamilton), set off a firestorm of carnage. The Hilltop, Alexandria, and Oceanside became conquered settlements. But an uprising brews as Eugene (Josh McDermitt) organizes a resistance to Milton and the Commonwealth's oppression.

Frozen 3: Jonathan Groff Offers Update About A Possible Disney Threequel
‘The Cellar’ Proves This Classic Horror Genre Isn’t Dead (Yet)
Things that go bump in the night no longer scare us silly.
We’ve been inundated with haunted house movies over the past decade, and even the best of the bunch can wear out its welcome.
Creaking doors. Ominous noises. Been there, heard that.
So it’s a miracle that an early, consequential scene in “The Cellar” leaves us breathless. The rest of the film can’t match that moment, but it’s still a first-rate thriller with a sour sucker punch.
Elisha Cuthbert stars as Keira, mother to an oh, so grumpy teen named Ellie (Abby Fitz). They’ve just moved into a standard-issue haunted house (oh, it’s not labeled as such, but come on!), and it’s widened the gap between mama and child.
The fact that Cuthbert and Fitz sound American, while hubbie Brian (Eoin Macken) and their young son, Stevie (Dylan Fitzmaurice-Brady) have a tangy Irish accent, isn’t given a satisfactory explanation.
The parents whisk off to a late work meeting, leaving the children home alone in this creepy abode. Naturally, the lights go out and poor Ellie must go to … wait for it … the cellar to find the fuse box.
This scene, which sets the movie’s plot in motion, is one of the creepiest sequences in recent memory. Writer-director Brendan Muldowney doesn’t trot out any unusual tricks, but the overall effect is undeniably tense.
Now, Keira and Brian must find out where poor Ellie disappeared to, but the answers may put everyone at risk.
Some horror movies peak too soon, including the otherwise slick “A Quiet Place: Part II.” “The Cellar” certainly qualifies, but Cuthbert powers the slower moments with her maternal strength. She refuses to believe Ellie just ran off without warning.
It’s not woke, just Biology 101.
Keira’s investigation unveils the usual horror tropes, and the appearance of the Explainer Guy later in the film hardly separates “The Cellar” from recent genre efforts.
We’re still invested in Ellie’s fate, and how the movie slowly reveals the significant stakes at play.

Had “The Cellar” soared past the 90-minute mark we’d lose our patience. Instead, things wrap briskly, although the ending may leave some audiences cold, or just plain chilled.
Stephen McKeon’s score starts strong, and we fear it will overstay its welcome but that never happens. Cuthbert gets solid support, from the teen actors in harm’s way to direction that understands the balance between thrills and credible developments.
“The Cellar” shows there’s still some life left in this exhausted genre, assuming the storytellers can reassemble the haunted house puzzle pieces just right.
HiT or Miss: “The Cellar” boasts one of the most engrossing scenes in recent horror memory, and the rest of the film is good enough to keep up.

Star Trek: Picard Mid-Season Two Recap & Review: Q's Dangerous Gambit
Star Trek: Picard bounces back from a tepid season two premiere to hit its stride mid-season. The premise has Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his new crew traveling back in time to 2024 Earth. They must prevent Q (John de Lancie) from changing a historic event that turns the Federation into ruthless oppressors at the dawn of the 25th century. They arrive in a Los Angeles burning from climate change, overrun by crime, poverty, and the ruthless treatment of illegal immigrants. The series plunges forthright into hot-button social and political issues. It also tackles mental health problems. A decidedly liberal take may offend some audiences. But Star Trek has always pushed boundaries by using science fiction to address division.

Villainous Carrey Steals ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 2’ (Again)
Video game movies get a bad rap for good reason. Most, sadly, are awful.
That’s starting to change.
Last year’s “Free Guy” delivered consistent laughs while tapping into our love of gaming. Previously, “Sonic the Hedgehog” over-delivered thanks to a brisk story and a deliciously over-the-top Jim Carrey.
The “Dumb and Dumber” star is back for “Sonic the Hedgehog 2,” and boy does the film need his comic mojo. The sequel is sillier and longer than the original, and Carrey’s consistent cackling holds this beast together.
It helps that for every tired gag there’s another that hits the target, and the production values are as good as it gets.
Our heroic Sonic (irritatingly voiced by Ben Schwartz) sends his human “parents” Tom and Maddie (James Marsden and Tika Sumpter) off on a Hawaiian vacation while he luxuriates in their expansive home.
Life is good for the blue-haired critter, but not for long.
Dr. Ivo Robotnik (Carrey) finds his way back to earth, eager for revenge against Sonic. To do so, he recruits Knuckles (amusingly voiced by Idris Elba), a red-haired alien who packs a mighty wallop.
Together, they search for the Master Emerald, another “Sonic” element swiped from the source material. Picture the stones Thanos hunted down in two “Avengers” films, and you get the idea.
RELATED: ‘The Last Starfighter: Still the Best Video Game Movie
Sonic has a little help this time in the form of Tails (Colleen O’Shaughnessey), a fellow furry who idolizes the speedy hero.
Can Sonic and Tails save the world? Can Carrey make every half-witted line funnier than anyone else on the planet could? We all know the answer to that, and it’s the actor’s brilliance that keeps us coming back for more.
RELATED: How Carrey’s ‘Cable Guy’ Went from Flop to Cult Classic
Yes, the story is way too long, but the CGI wonders assembled here are breathtaking. This is, essentially, a kiddie movie, but director Jeff Fowler moves heaven and earth to treat it like an MCU adventure.
This is corporate Hollywood at its most expensive, and darned if the F/X wonders don’t dazzle as intended.
The same can’t be said of several supporting players. Adam Pally and Lee Majdoub get oodles of screen time but can’t replicate the manic energy Carrey invests here.
Who could?
They still underwhelm in every scene, abandoned by an inconsistent script.
And an empowering subplot involving Maddie’s sister (Natasha Rothwell, giving everything she’s got) feels unnecessary.
It’s a shame Schwartz got the Sonic assignment the first time around. He’s a charming actor with legit comic gifts, but his preening line readings are uniformly bad … again.
Voice work matters. Consider how Elba plays his character oh, so straight and generates plenty of smiles as a result.

“Sonic the Hedgehog” trots out everything to make us grin, from an absurd segue into Siberia to a wedding disaster that would make Bridezillas roar. Throw it on the screen and see if it sticks.
The sequel does entertain adults while the children binge out on the colorful characters and sweet asides. Lil’ Tails felt different before hearing about Sonic, for example, giving their budding relationship some context.
Still, this is The Jim Carrey Show for long stretches, and he delivers with physical shtick and giddy one-liners. His energy here could power a small city, and the “Sonic” franchise needs every ounce of those creative juices this time ’round.
HiT or Miss: “Sonic the Hedgehog” went to the more-more-MORE school of sequels, but Jim Carrey’s antics mean we can’t help but smile.

Halloween Kills' Judy Greer Reflects On How She Learned About The Sequel's Tragic Ending
Return to Space Review: Inside Elon Musk's Universe
In late 2021, the spaceflight company founded by billionaire Elon Musk, SpaceX, made history when it launched the first all-civilian spaceflight. On that flight, the four individuals paid for the opportunity to be able to go into space, which does not have a light price tag. It has been reported that private individuals have been paying up to $500,000 for a single trip to go into space—which, thankfully, is a round-trip one—while NASA pays up to $58 million to even have an orbital trip. Other notable billionaires looking to tap into the business include Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who also recently went into space as a civilian. While movies like Moonshot may be on the mark as portraying space travel as an exclusive club for the wealthy, it seems that a race by technology companies and their founders to get into space has only just begun.

Ambulance Review: Insane Action & Star Power Rescue Flimsy Plot
Michael Bay takes a wrecking ball to the streets of Los Angeles in a wild actioner with a flimsy plot. Ambulance can best be described as a live version of the Grand Theft Auto video game. Adapted from a 2005 Danish film, two disparate brothers cause havoc while trying to escape from a botched bank robbery. Ambulance doesn't make a lick of sense. But had me laughing much more than expected between the insane shootouts and demolition derby.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Review: A Turbocharged Sequel with Big Laughs
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a turbocharged sequel loaded with good humor and impressive visual effects. The anthropomorphized CGI characters hold their own against the always hilarious Jim Carrey. His Dr. Robotnik super villain machinations had me laughing out loud in multiple scenes. Themes of family, friendship, and the true meaning of heroism add heartwarming lessons to wholesome entertainment. My only gripe is the film's length. I can't fathom why Sonic 2 has a two hour and two-minute runtime.

‘See For Me’ Shares Bold Approach to Exhausted Genre
The 2016 thriller “Hush” upended the home invasion picture.
Our heroine, tasked with surviving a mortal threat, couldn’t hear the attacker’s footfalls, or anything else. She was deaf, which gave the thriller a decided advantage over the competition.
Originality matters. Always.
The thriller still left a little room for company. What if the person fending off the intruder was blind, not deaf?
“See For Me” grabs that “Hush” baton, and while the thrills aren’t as sharp it reminds us the central conceit is a stone-cold winner.
A former skiing star named Sophie (Skyler Davenport) gave up the sport after an illness robbed her of her vision. Now, she cobbles an income from various odd jobs in between squabbling with her well-intentioned mom.
Her latest gig? Cat-sitting for a wealthy divorcee. The gig seems innocent enough until a trio of hoodlums break into the house, eager to plunder its riches.
Sophie has an ace up her sleeve. Her phone’s new app, dubbed See For Me, connects the visually disabled with virtual assistants who can “see” for them. It’s a slick gimmick that lends itself to more depth than meets the eye.
The screenplay can’t fully tap into that potential, though, settling for a snazzy plot device that gives Sophie a fighting chance against the intruders.
“See for Me” offers another, less obvious wrinkle.
Our sweet and sour Sophie bears a grudge after losing her sight. It’s hard to blame her, but it manifests itself in ways that enhance the genre in play.
What if our heroine had a dark side?
To say more veers into spoiler territory. Just know the assistant who connects with Sophie (Jessica Parker Kennedy) brings another complicated back story to the mix.
RELATED: Harrowing ‘Shut In’ Will Surprise Just About Everyone
Another flaw?
The invaders themselves aren’t as menacing, or layered, as necessary. A late appearance by “Sons of Anarchy” alum Kim Coates strains a story already teetering on absurdity.
The third act delivers what audiences crave, but the plot contrivances start stacking up in irritating fashion. We’re left with a tidy ending, one that betrays the moral shadings flashed earlier in the film.
HiT or Miss: “See for Me” runs with a killer premise despite not taking full advantage of its curiously complex heroine.

The Bubble Review: Judd Apatow's Covid Chaos Comes to Netflix
'Covid Cinema,' if that's what it should be called, has used the pandemic to create movies with a distinct feel and tone. These films are generally made by people who love working together, enough so that they wouldn't terribly mind being stuck with each other for an extended period of time while a film set is on lock-down from the rest of the world. As such, these are often intimate, stage-like movies with smaller casts and crews and often inventive filming techniques.
