Review 4K Movie

It is important to understand that this is not horror in the usual sense; it is the fear of social pressure, the psychological horror of losing oneself and becoming someone else's projection. Therefore, the biggest mistake would be to expect the usual silly screamers and “clown-dismemberers.” If that is what you are expecting, then this is not the movie for you.

This is not a horror film—it is an existential thriller! Calling Him a horror film is like calling Apocalypse Now an epic action film. It has the formal characteristics, but the essence is completely different! Therefore, anyone who calls it that is even more ignorant than I am.

I consider this film to be an expressive cinematic discourse that contains an important statement, a thought-provoking reflection on modern society.

The value of art lies not only in pleasing the viewer, but also in encouraging them to reflect and think, rather than simply relax and be entertained.

The key to understanding this film is to separate the intellectual content from the emotional admiration, because the structure is designed to decipher metaphors and comprehend the social subtext. This stylized auteur film with magnificent cinematography and masterful direction has a voice. It does not provide simple answers, but exposes the disease. It is a thought-provoking film, whose chaotic form reflects its content. In our era of flashy entertainment and absurd attractions, this is already a significant phenomenon that does not speculate on elitist egocentrism.
The film is unusual and not for the average viewer. In my understanding, the structure of the film is an intellectual puzzle, a unique, mesmerizing mandala in a chaotic structure, although the mixing of genres makes it difficult to focus on the main plot. It is an interesting cinematic hybrid, filled with social criticism, sports issues, and elements of psychological arthouse. Marlon Wayans plays his role expressively but straightforwardly: there are no contradictions or internal struggles—he is already the gladiator who is being manipulated, he has no doubts, only a path—yes, it's predictable, but emotional! His character symbolizes an already formed trauma, while the main character is the process of acquiring it.

“Trauma is replicated and passed on” — it is important to understand this before the finale.

Intrigue and emotionality are the most powerful forces in the film, but the chaotic plot will not go away and will distract from the narrative with abstract arthouse flashbacks. This is a non-trivial reflection on generational trauma and internal conflict, when you do what is required of you but realize that you want something completely different. When you are not in control of yourself, but become a vivid image that you have to live up to. When those around you are not interested in you, but only in your success. The film's protagonist, brilliantly portrayed by Tyriq Leshon Withers, is a product of modern society who must conform to the vivid image of a muscular winner, ruthless and cynical, but the main character does not want to be that person. he is in doubt, he longs for simple and understandable human desires, but is forced to spin in an endless vicious circle of invented ideals. This is the internal conflict of a person who has become a product and an image.

“Cinema cuts, provokes, and sparks thought.”

With its chaotic structure and eclectic genre, this film itself reflects the chaos of internal conflicts and external pressures experienced by its main character.
