July 11, 2021Body Horror, Hulu Original, New ReleaseDanny Elfman, Ilana Glazer, Inside, John Lee, Justin Theroux, Lyle, Peter Pan, Pierce Brosnan, Rosemary's Baby, The Ghost Writershockdoctors

This Ilana Glazer vehicle grapples with some serious real-life issues, and elements of the film have a great deal of merit, but it also has a lot of problems – none more glaring than its WWE-inflected climax that makes a few tone-deaf choices.
