The painting featured in the movie at the beginning is titled, "The Triumph of Death".

This was more than likely a member of the crew there to enable Stanley's barking for the shot.,Paul: You can't trust anyone but family.,Featured in The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: John Lithgow/Riley Keough/Giles Martin/Thundercat ft. Michael McDonald & Kenny Loggins (2017),What a letdown. I can't say it was a huge letdown because that would imply that I expected it to be great, but it is a let down which means I expected it to be decent.

The movie starts with a family burying the grandfather who'd succumbed to an illness. Judging by how the family made sure to wear masks to do the job they were afraid of this illness and wanted to take every precaution. This contagion tale focuses solely on this family but then broadens its focus to include another family. It's a strange dynamic because two families are trying to coexist in a post-apocalyptic era in which distrust is far more common than trust.

That's the setup. Where do they take it from there? I'll answer that. Nowhere. This movie goes no-where. It was a total farce, a total bait and switch. Scary movies in general are pretty lousy (although I keep coming back) but at least most of them have a definite aim, a definite goal. This seemed to be aimless and goal-less. I waited for something to materialize that I could sink my teeth into. Even if it tasted bitter or sour at least it would be something of substance. This movie had no substance just appetizer after appetizer to keep you seated. In the end this movie offered nothing but a grand dead end.,Beau Is Afraid, The Green Knight, and more striking images from A24 studio's films.,
