Sick

This took me by surprise. I'm sure that there have been others, but this is the first film that I've seen that is wrapped around the Covid pandemic. It's really nothing more than a slasher movie reminiscent of the Scream series, which I don't particularly care for, but it's very efficient, very tense and for what it is, it's the real deal with an unusual motive for various bloodlettings, though not as many as usual for this kind of thing which works well. Some of the things here were predictable, but it's never too stupid which surprised me. The opening is very strong with Joel Courtney who I remember from the very good Super 8 from a few years back. The entire cast does okay, but a special mention of Jane Adams is needed and she is having great fun in this role.
