Review of We Need to Do Something (2021) by Jluis_001 — 16 Sep 2021
Now from IFC Films, another long and uninspired film that could easily have been a short one.
The whole concept is based on suggestion, and how much you're willing to accept how the story works. Which becomes quite complicated after about 25 minutes, for two simple reasons.
The first one is that almost the entire film takes place in the same location, and from the beginning it's made very clear that the people there have problems, so the confinement will deteriorate the situation. That's immediately inferred.
Second, something evil seems to be looming over them, from the inside and from the outside, and one of the characters is to blame for it.
As events unfold around that resource, there's only one possible outcome in a horror film: Annihilation.
An explanation is given with flashbacks of why those things are happening, but the truth is that it's just very frivolous, and nothing that this film does justifies the whole mess.
And the ending is just a **** joke.
A total wasted effort.
