Quick Takes: The Platform, Zombieland: Double Tap, Child's Play
The Platform bristles with a vexing, timely message & social commentary on class, resources & the penal system. Exquisite direction & a fascinating dystopian/alternate reality plot thrills, but leaves you hungry for more exposition, resolution & character development.
Zombieland: Double Tap sadly proves again that lighting doesn't strike twice. It's great to see this cast again but unfortunately the paper-thin plot doesn't add much to the original. There are some great moments & a few chuckles but there's just no reason for this sequel, released 10 years after the original, to exist.
Child's Play is a smart remake that lives in a mighty big shadow. This film was created for a new generation that depends on tech to live & the horror lies in grounded fears of runaway A.I. Some of it is beyond the limits of plausibility and I didn't buy Aubrey Plaza as a mom, but still a dumb, fun popcorn movie.
Stay Home. Watch Horror.
