	Description:		Fear Level: Existentially disconcerting Trigger Warnings: RAPE, assault, sexual assault, ableism, dog related violence Y'all, this is a tough one. Let's put it out there - the third act twist is RAPE. For two acts this movie walks a fine line along the edge of abielism, then it very intentionally throws itself off of a horrible and disgusting cliff. Director: Fede Alvarez Writers: Fede Alvarez, Rodo Sayagues Stars: Stephen Lang (Avatar, Freddy Lounds in Manhunter), Jane Levy (Evil Dead, Zoe’s Extraordinary Playlist), Dylan Minnette (Let Me In, Lost), Daniel Zovatto (Greg from It Follows) What’s it about? Hoping to walk away with a massive fortune, a trio of thieves break into the house of a blind man who isn't as helpless as he seems. Topics of Discussion: Chekov's everything What the fuck is up with Money? Tyler Perry melodrama Ableism A good movie wrapped in a trashbag full of bricks and dumped in the river Third act rape twists: a thesis.
