Broken Star (2018)
8/10
Dripping with Atmospheric Dread
20 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I couldn't help but enjoy this chilling glimpse into the psychology of a petty narcissistic vindictive starlet--more than a few real life versions certainly exist--and the folie a deux that she forms with her minion-like landlord. Featuring videos within videos as if cloistered in a claustrophobic hall of mirrors, it fractures the nature of reality, yet never strays too far from reality. The best horror films stay within the realm of the possible. And if it really was all was a dream as the ending seemed to imply, it was a cinematically well-scripted and well-acted dream worthy of Alfred Hitchcock or David Lynch--haunted Hollywoodiana doesn't get any better than this!
