"Him" (2025) Film Review-The realities of making the grade in professional sports gets a cultism-driven, horror film makeover

I must give Peele credit in that he continues to push the boundaries of specific genres and their associated tropes in order to provide what ends up amounting to subtly then jarringly intense, yet still character and story-driven, cinema that speaks more to indie stylings than mainstream.
