This film is the gift that keeps on giving in terms of bad and poorly thought out plot lines, characters, oh and most importantly inevitably dull horror.
Everything about this film screams a heaping pile of you know what. Actual money and time were spent making this film which should really scare everyone. and anyone that loves horror.
Here's what happens when a director/writer that made a really good film in "It Follows" is no longer hemmed in by independent film making limitations. It feels like he was given a green light and all the talent. funding he wanted for "Under The Silver Lake". The only thing he was missing were the boundaries and or push back that might have made this futile venture a much more focused, solid story. It's kind of like the cautionary tale of the second season of "True Detective". The first season was tremendous, the second season - well it sucked. This film wasn't bad, it was horrible, over reaching and so incredibly indulgent it feels like it was made solely for the audience of 1, the director writer because there was definitely no room for an audience in this piece. Garfield and Keogh are way above this material, an incredible slog of alternating story lines leading nowhere. Like watching a street mime but less exciting.
