'Him' Movie Review: Football Horror Satire Falls Short
The movie 'Him' is a horror movie that uses the world of football to tell its story.
It focuses on star quarterback Isaiah White, and a young player named Cam Cade.
Isaiah invites Cam to train at his weird compound.
The reviewer felt the movie tries to be scary, but doesn't do a very good job, and isn't sure what the movie is actually trying to say about football and its players.
The review criticizes the film's disjointed elements and lack of cohesion.
The film is directed by Justin Tipping and produced by Jordan Peele.
The plot follows quarterback Cameron Cade and his relationship with Isaiah White.
The film combines horror tropes with football themes.
The review mentions that the movie is a mishmash of horror and football.
The movie's satire on football's brutality is not very effective.
