Review of The Neon Demon (2016) by Daddysgamecave — 25 Jun 2016

One of Refn's best. If you're a fan of his previous movies you'll love this one. Each frame had me hooked and the music was incredible. There's a few scenes with slightly distracting dumb dialogue, but an amazing film altogether.

Definitely not for someone looking for a traditional horror film, or a traditional film as a whole. The horrors in this are not supernatural but more grounded in the real world. The widespread bad reviews of this movie baffle me but I guess it's not for everyone, especially not for anyone expecting a blockbuster.

This movie is slow with very long and beautiful shots. It really hit a sweet spot for me as a Refn fan. I highly recommend seeing in a theater setting.
