One Hundred Eggs a Minute (1996)

This feels like the creative team wanted to make a body horror film, but the studio wanted to make another generic blockbuster.

These confines won’t really encourage you to read the film as a metaphor for the nerve-inducing experience we’ve all been through over the last year, however — and in the interest of maintaining your dignity, you probably shouldn’t. While the sociopolitical commentary may have worked for the similarly-themed Buried (2010), in which we find Ryan Reynolds on his own buried alive in the Middle East, but this futuristic take on the premise is best left as a piece of distracting entertainment. Nevertheless, the atmosphere is no less suffocating, literally and dramatically.

Rather than following in the footsteps of poorly made horror flicks, “The Quiet Place” follows original concept.

While the film didn’t hit me as emotionally as I wanted it to, I still enjoyed it. I simply wish there was a little more, particularly with the world building.

Given a choice between a man and a mountain, it’s safer to choose the mountain.

Critical Incident is worthy of a weekend binge, keeping you guessing right up until the end.
