Haven't played the game but in my opinion, it's the best series on Netflix.

Hereditary is okay. Apparently it's one of the scariest films of recent times. Can't say if I will feel scared thinking about it later but it was just okay, for the moment. What I have realised is that Google User reviews are the most authentic and realistic benchmarks for a film. A lot of people here, giving this film just 1 star are not too off the mark, as to why this film is mediocre at best. The guy playing 'Peter' acts well and so does Annie, the protagonist. There's not much more I remember from the film which I finished watching less than 15 minutes back. As someone rightly said, there is no need for this film since we already have the brilliant horror film 'Rosemary's Baby'.

Kindly ignore those who have given this film negative reviews. It is a nearly perfect disaster-drama film with all the necessary ingredients: cheesy dialogue, sentimental family action-drama, ridiculous science and the evergreen American Badass. I was only disappointed that the campy father-son dynamic was not exploited enough to produce more feels but still reasonably satisfying and overall, an excellent waste of time. Eagerly waiting for the sequel.

It's not a bad or terrible film but I don't see what is novel about it. After Christopher Nolan's trilogy, I don't understand why this film was made. It starts off with "vengeance" but ends with "hope". I think Nolan worked with these themes very well already and to much greater effect. Also, there is nothing "dark" about the film. It might have been if they weren't in a hurry to tie up all the loose ends, ambiguities and dilemmas that are introduced in the first half. Especially after the recent Joker film (with Joaquin Phoenix) which was brilliant, I was really expecting this film to complicate the Batman universe. It fails at this, if it was ever it's intent to do so. Overall, it's reasonably entertaining but I felt very sleepy in parts and was left waiting for something interesting to emerge but it did not. Again, the talents of the actors and directors might be put to better use than making Batman films that nobody needs.

Terrible film. I think the only satire the film really evokes is how easily we are impressed by poorly delivered satire. That people think it is "genius" is the one joke the film succeeds at driving home. Unfortunately, I can't post a review here with 0 stars.
