I appreciate that NOPE, while being about Hollywood, is less interested in stars than in the people who exist on Hollywood’s (social and geographic) periphery. The animal stuntman forced to sell his horses. His ambitious sister with a dozen side-hustles. The former child star-turned-tourist trap impresario. The video technician dumped by a CW actress. The TMZ paparazzo chasing a scoop.

The only A-lister is auteur director Antlers Holst, and his visionary (har har) ambitions end up being more liability than asset.

‘Forget what you’ve heard,’ Peele seems to say, ‘this is the real Hollywood: full of losers.’ The result is a creature feature about working stiffs, in the venerable tradition of Alien, the Thing, and Tremors.

I See You (2019)

Do I give credit to I See You for what it did well, or punish it for the mistakes it makes? Tough call. When this film works, you’re overwhelmed with nervousness, fear and questions. In the end, once we know everything there is to know, things don’t add up but you have to credit it for being effective in the moment, which makes it worth seeing but probably not more than once.

A ten-year-old boy is abducted while riding his bike through a park. Clues show numerous similarities between the crime and those of a serial killer captured 15 years ago. Detective Greg Harper (Jon Tenney) is assigned to the case. When numerous unexplainable events begin disturbing his wife, Jackie (Helen Hunt) and teenage son, Connor (Judah Lewis), it’s unclear whether these are linked to the case, the affair Jackie recently broke off, the feelings Connor harbors towards his mother, or something else.

It’s best to go into I See You knowing as little as possible. Though the film only lasts 96 minutes, it feels like so much more. Writer Devon Graye and director Adam Randall have you caught in this bear trap that keeps tightening the more you wriggle. In the background, you see little things. A missing photo or objects that aren’t where they’re supposed to be. Unfortunately, the family is too preoccupied with their drama to recognize what’s happening. Is it already too late? How does this connect with the kidnapping? Your mind is buzzing with theories and you can’t wait for the next clue.

At one point, I See You drops a bombshell. While it dashes away many of your hypotheses, the fear that made the air so thick doesn’t disappear, it merely changes. You thought you were watching one kind of movie, turns out this is something completely different. You're knocked off your feet and not in a way that feels cheap. Everything adds up neatly. You’re shocked no one’s thought of this twist earlier but at the same time, this is the kind of development that feels fresh and new, a 21st-century kind of terror.

After the initial twist, the movie remains good. But then we get another twist… and then another. With each new shocking reveal, I See You makes less sense. Turns out those unexplainable events were caused by two “phroggers”, young adults who've snuck into the Harper’s home and have been living there in secret. Mindy (Life Barer) seems harmless for someone who broke into a household while Alec (Owen Teague) seems increasingly unhinged. If we knew this was a home invasion horror/thriller from the beginning it would've been one thing, but only realizing it midway through? It makes things so much scarier than before.

And then, we get another twist. Turns out Greg… is the serial killer who kidnapped the kid at the beginning! You thought the family was trapped in the house with the phroggers but it’s the other way around. If the intruders get caught, who knows what Greg is capable of? It's not as good a reveal but still effective. Then, ANOTHER twist. Alec knew this from the beginning. In fact, he’s been deliberately tormenting the Harper family as revenge for what Greg did to him 15 years ago and the man in jail was framed!

Will you see these reveals coming? No, but mostly because some of this makes no sense. If Alec knew whose house he was breaking into, why did he bring Mindy? If his objective was to torment Greg, why does he attack Connor? Why spend time tormenting the armed police officer at all when he could’ve easily gotten his revenge on him in the middle of the night and gotten away with it no problem? Has Alec been sitting on the killer’s identity for 15 years? Why didn’t he say anything as a boy? Why not years later when the innocent man was thrown in jail and seeking an appeal? This twist simply raises too many unanswerable questions.

Despite the plot holes, enough about I See You works to make it worth your while. The thing is, you won’t see the flaws while the movie is playing. The tension is too thick, the scares too real. It keeps you guessing. It’ll have you paranoid and even the stuff that doesn’t work makes sense in the movie world. Loopy as it is, this is the first script from Devon Graye and it’s impressive. You’ll want to keep an eye out for his future projects. (June 29, 2020)

Film after film: Nope (dir. Jordan Peele, 2022)

After his pop banger Get Out, Peele changed the tone and delivered Us, which had this weird and extremely charming balance between a genre film and something extra: there's something in the camera work and performances (Lupita Nyong'o!), but, more ephemerally, in when the pacing and timing of individual scenes, both of which is sometimes slightly slower or faster than I would otherwise expect. Nope further continues to perform the filmmaker's idiosyncrasy, delivering something that is, at the same time, very pop and very abstract.

I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore

Summary: Nursing assistant Ruth (Melanie Lynskey) comes home to find her house has been burgled. After appeals to the authorities fail, she turns to neighbour Tony (Elijah Wood) to help find her stolen items and track down the people - or person - who burgled her.

Quiet, slow indie drama that looks at gender dynamics in modern USA and lets Wood do whatever he wants.

Rating: 3.25/5
