Dakota Fanning, “villain” deadly hypothesis

Polly acquires a mysterious box. In this square, you should put three things: something you hate, something you need, and something you love. This is the basic hypothesis of evilThe new movie from Writer and director Brian Berino (Strangers)) championship Dakota Fanning, It is incredibly attractive. Immediately, it returns to the mind a wide range of questions. Where did the box come from? How do you work? What happens if you fail to comply? Can the film pay something terribly confusing?

Well, after vision evil During which The first global offer in Fantastic Fest 2025We can answer the latter: No, you cannot pay everything. In reality, evil He failed to answer almost every question about his hypothesis, and instead, threw the ideas randomly on a losing and frustrating wall. Excellent phang, as one might expect, but it is bound by a fatal idea that she was terrible with it.

like evil Start, we get it one Answer, that is, how the Polenning Polly person gets the box. Soon after, you learn the rules, but what the movie lacks from there is almost everything. The box is basically its own character. She claims that her victim will die if Polly does not comply, but it never explains how it will happen or why. Instead, if the box does not like what you do, then he literally undertakes to explain himself, tell her exactly what he wants it to sacrifice her, and she can lie to her. As a result, all cohesion in the movie disappears. If the box knows what it wants, then where is the drama? Why do we care about any of this if everything is before? Why do we need a box at all if this curse can use the phone or TV to intimidate its victims? And if the square can lie, then why does anyone trust him?

For the majority of operating time, we only see the ultra -torture uniform on the horizon. It is a simple spoiler, but even after you do exactly what the box wants to do, the film continues to continue, with the release of whether any of this is worthy of it at all. All this may be fine if we have a big and comprehensive topic about sacrifice or love to look at it, but there is nothing mainly. In the end, the film tries to get a kind of objective feelings, but by that time, we are very frustrated about how everything will change, and it will change from one scene to another, so it fails to stick.

There is some disgusting infection all the time, and in its best moments, the film allows us to think about what we will do with the box. But most of the time, this is when the phone rings, and the Polly tells exactly what to do, so any of this potential or capable self -reflection disappears. Instead, we have left an excellent performance in a mad movie that we never hope for the way we hope.

evil The first global show was in Fantastic Fest 2025 and for the first time on Paramount+ on October 10.
