As a musical fan, I enjoyed the film and encourage anyone who likes dark humour and a bit of blood to give it a watch.
I write for a diversity-focused film review blog, so I’ll be honest: I really wanted to like Pretty Lethal. Starring Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Iris Apatow, Avantika, and Millicent Simmonds, Amazon Prime’s new thriller seemed like it would be a girl power movie about dancers with a horror action twist. Sort of a Suspiria for teens. But with shallow and unlikeable characters, a confusing plot, an overreliance on violence, and cringey dialogue, any fun the movie started out with was quickly lost. What was left was a faint echo of greater horror movies about dancers made before.
Although Christmas is a time of year for love and cheer for all, holiday cinema has not always represented diverse communities.

Luckily, modern years have been bringing with them plenty of POC and LGBTQ+ representation that the holidays so desperately need.
