Review of Morgan (2016) by Jacob S — 03 Sep 2016

While I thoroughly enjoyed the twist at the end, it wasn't enough to save the overall stupidity with the film. Morgan is sold as a horror film but it's about as scary as receiving a cable bill in the mail.

Credit where credit is due to newcomer Anya_Taylor-Joy, delivering a solid performance in her first major role. Big names like Paul Giamatti and Jennifer Jason Leigh are criminally underused in their roles.

Kate Mara does a good enough job but the material doesn't allow her much of a range which causes her performance to fall flat. Morgan is your typical mad scientist meet dumb logic scary movie. If only someone could have made the story more interesting and better utilized its talented cast.

Instead Morgan just becomes another wasted opportunity in the world of Sci-fi Horror.
