“Buddy” and Analogue Horror
Upon first watch, Buddy feels like it should have been aired on Adult Swim at four in the morning.

In 1800s America, the sun has vanished and night is eternal across the nation. Along with the night, came murderous Banshees that are afraid of light, and kill in the dark. Umbra follows The Connor Family in the last leg of their journey across the American west to seek a rumored sanctuary from the dreaded banshees.

So do I recommend that people see this movie, yes 100%, but do I think they are going to come out of it with 80 hot takes, yes 100%.
In addition to the cast being delightfully diverse this time around, the film was just loosely-plotted and action-packed enough to keep a casual fan like myself entertained. While I do agree that the writing of Cole left much to be desired for an original character thrust into a preconceived universe, none of the characters seemed particularly fleshed out in terms of personality; however, I think that's to be expected when you're watching a film literally inspired by a video game.
Cursed is based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel, and is a retelling of the Arthurian legend with a twist. Instead of King Arthur gaining Excalibur, a teenage sorceress named Nimue (Katherine Langford) does. Her people — the Fey — are being hunted down, and so Nimue will do whatever it takes to save them.
Miles Morales learns to be his own hero as he takes on the well loved mantle of Spider-Man in a multiverse of Spider-People.
The problem isn’t that it’s bad. It's good. But it fails to stand out from a crowd of similar films.
