Elijah Wood is a fucking national treasure! I mean it, y'all. I love this guy so much. He's got all the money in the world from playing a Hobbit, and what does he decide to do with it? Make movies that he's passionate about. And in his case, that means horror movies where he plays a weirdo. And let's be clear, Wood plays a weirdo soooo well. What was the movie where he played the psycho with the mannequins? Maniac? Whatever. He was amazing. And he is in this too. He plays a recovering addict goth who's always lived off his mom's money and never made anything of himself. He wears a witch's hat, has the MOST bizarre haircut, and is engrossing as an awkward loser that wants so badly to be comfortable in his own skin, but clearly isn't. The movie starts with him getting off a bus and having to hike through the wilderness to find his dad's cabin. His dad left when he was five, and he hadn't heard from him until he got a letter asking him to come visit. When he get's there, his dad is a mean, cruel bastard and you have to wonder why he even asked his son to visit if he despises him (and everyone so much). The answer to that question is when the movie get's crazy. And I'm not going to spoil it because I fucking loved this movie. And I want you to see it for yourself. Hell, just watch it for Elijah Wood's performance, which is note-perfect and amazing. So good.Statistics: Posted by Kyle — Mon May 25, 2020 9:53 am
