A little girl hires the hit man next door to kill the monster under her bed. It goes horribly wrong.
This is what the best films do- it tells a great story and it creates a completely real world while doing so. This is what Hollywood should be doing not the retreading of franchises. Seriously, once this hit HBO this suddenly became a huge hit among the people I know who just discovered it's wonders by surfing in.
Insane in the best sort of way, this is a film that take the fear of what lives under the bed and turns it upside down. Perfectly cast, everyone sells the fun because they are 100% invested. We don't get films like this much any more.
I have no idea if this is an intellectually best film of the year, but I know for damn certain this is one that will be rewatched for years to come by me and by generations of other film goers.
A masterpiece.
