Netflix's new thriller Apex, starring Charlize Theron, puts a twist on survival horror. Despite its setting in the beautiful- yet-dangerous Australian wilderness, Apex is not a movie about man vs. nature. Instead, it’s woman vs. man. While checking out the title card and its unpretentious Netflix release might lead viewers to believe Apex is just another celebrity project churned out of the streaming machine, Apex - whether by luck or by intention - is a consistently harrowing film about the reality of being a woman in a public space.
The 2020 remake of 'The Invisible Man' explores the hidden nature of domestic violence with a classic sci-fi character.
Ultimately the problem with The Bubble is that it plays everything for laughs to get around the audience’s defenses.
