Bilge Ebiri’s article critiques ‘The Thing With Feathers’ for its misguided attempts to fit into the horror genre. Despite a strong performance by Benedict Cumberbatch, the film struggles with unnecessary jump scares and chaotic elements that detract from the overall narrative.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
The critique accurately highlights a common issue in genre filmmaking where the incorporation of horror elements feels forced and detracts from storytelling. This approach can alienate audiences looking for a coherent narrative and diminish the impact of strong performances. As an enthusiast of seamless tech and app experiences, the user’s immersion and satisfaction should always be a priority, just as in films. Misleading genre cues can disrupt the audience experience, much like a poorly designed app interface.
