10 May 2019: Body at Brighton Rock

This is a fairly straightforward man vs nature thriller, & Benjamin accomplishes what she set out to do. Though my horror tastes run a little weirder than hers, I like Roxanne Benjamin & how she approaches her films. I also like the idea that female leads don’t always have to be strong, capable superwomen. It’s refreshing to see a movie based around a normal woman, flaws & all. I would’ve liked a bit more suspense, but that’s my only complaint.
Edit: That’s actually not my only complaint. I wish they hadn’t used a real bear. Using wild animals in movies is mean.
