The Man in My Basement

Willem Dafoe segue na sua busca por um personagem psicopata, e ele segura as pontas de um filme mediano. O protagonista não é ruim, mas está aquém do veterano. Pena que o roteiro não ajuda muito, e há muitas cenas que se pretendem intimistas e são pura perfumaria, masno geral gosei da ambientação e doritmo meio lento, casando com a proposta de suspense.

The Man in My Basement was decent, though not particularly **** film does a good job of pulling the viewer in early, leaving you curious about the characters’ next moves and how the story will ultimately unfold. It was also nice to see a few familiar faces on screen.However, I didn’t fully appreciate the underlying tone of bias toward African Americans. That said, it was still refreshing to see an African American lead carrying a story with a plot like this.I always appreciate when films incorporate discussions around mental health, and this movie does attempt to explore those themes. There is also a fair amount of symbolism layered throughout the narrative, which adds some depth to the story.I wouldn’t classify this film as horror. It fits more comfortably within the psychological thriller or suspense genre.Overall, this was a one-time watch for me.
