Antebellum (2020)
Antebellum (Bush and Renz 2020)
This film received just a 28% rating from critics, and 53% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. In contrast we found the film to be exceptionally good in most ways. We discuss the possible discrepancies between our appreciation and that of others. A film that presses the boundaries of horror in positive ways paved by Get Out.
