Dash Cam is a movie about a woman who plays a fictionalized version of her show where she drives around and freestyles about random things her fans shoutout in the chat in the corner of the screen.
She visits an old friend in England who she quickly realizes he's grown in a direction she hates. She's a child in a world of grown ups and her tantrum is immediate.
The characters intersect with a strange, silent woman and others connected in sometimes sinister ways with the woman.
The movie is a strange blend of Cash Cab and The Blair Witch Project.
That out of the way, let's address the low rating and the elephant and donkehy in the room.
For every fan that scrolls by in the corner of the screen, there are probably a hundred watching the movie who will hate her immediately based on her self-absorbed attitude and views on very pointed and raw political issues.
Her character is immediately signaled to be in opposition to approximately half of the audience. Is this a misstep on the directors part? Perhaps it's a signal that Blumhouse is a MAGA shil in disguise.
More likely, I'd say the film is as much about mending time worn, politically torn relationships-not fences-in the face of shared experiences of suffocation, alienation, loneliness, fear, loss, and helplessness.

The Eternals starts with a synopsis of why the Eternals are on Earth, what they are fighting,
and who will end up betraying them.
Almost the entire first hour is a serious of flashbacks. The characters themselves seem generic, and there are far too many to feel any actual connections to any of them, or to the team itself.
Coming in at 3 hours, it's entirely unwatchable. I can't believe there is a sequel in the works.
I'm so glad I did pay to see this in theaters, because I hate asking for my money back.

We Are Still Here is paradoxically earnest and witty. There are a lot of reasons why you might enjoy the movie.
It's a blend of intertextual reference and homage, love letter to the genre, and desire to live in the past. If it weren't quite so earnest, it would almost be a parody. It's Lovecraftian in that sense-being a work not of its time.
The points where it departs from the reasons above are the points where it loses itself. The deep emersion in decades past are subverted a few times, and that does detract from the enjoyment.
The pacing of the movie is...awkward in good ways. It's like watching a newborn giraffe stand up for the first time, and then suddenly blow up.
Most of the movies effects are physical, but this makes the ones that aren't stand out enough to pull me out of the experience and land me in bad CGI land.
Despite it's flaws, if your a fan of the horror genre and have any frame of reference for horror movies of decades past, its likely to be an enjoyable experience.
