Metamorphosis (2022)
Umm. Boring. Steer clear.
This movie is not a slow burn. It's just incredibly slow. I feel like there are multiple reviews here that are from people that must have worked on this film and I really wish there was some kind of filter for this because I think those reviews are artificially upping the score. I was intrigued by the premise of this film but no explanation is ever given as to why any of the events are happening. The husband is regressing into something but why? I guess we will never find out. Even the short runtime of this film made it way too long. There are multiple scenes of people in the woods and a scuffle with some hunters and we never find out why this is the case. We never find out why the husband and wife are even trying to live in this remote house. It's alluded to that something has happened between them to hurt their relationship but most of the film is focused on his regression into some kind of monster I think? There are multiple long scenes of him just doing bizarre stuff in the woods like chewing on himself. I'm all for films that make me think and don't hand everything to me on a silver platter but this film just feels like someone had a vague idea and tried to turn it into a full length film. I had to come here and read the reviews to make sure I wasn't missing some kind of larger message and it seems I am not. If the writers had one, it's definitely lost on me!
