Netflix has a brand new #1 film on the service, a licensed seize, not an unique. That might be Subservience, which stars Megan Fox as a useful android meant to help a father after his spouse passes.

This film is dangerous. Don’t watch it. It has rotten critic and viewers scores, and I noticed it some time again when it got here to rental streaming. I can not suggest it in any respect. I believed it is likely to be doing kind of an attention-grabbing twist on the idea, like (spoilers comply with), Fox’s android being the one to flee an finally abusive father, however as an alternative it’s simply…precisely what you’d anticipate. Fox will get too near her mission of defending the daughter and finally ends up going loopy and murderous because of this. Sure, it’s basically a worse model of M3GAN, solely Megan Fox is in her underwear typically.

However Megan Fox is a very gifted horror actress, and there are two particular Fox horror films I might suggest you watch as an alternative.

Most of you most likely know the primary one I’m about to say, Jennifer’s Physique, going all the best way again to 2009 when Fox had simply damaged onto the scene in Transformers. The movie was means forward of its time with Fox as a demon possessed it lady, seducing and devouring primarily males. Fox is great within the function, and the movie additionally boasts a fairly loopy solid which incorporates Amanda Seyfried, Adam Brody, Kyle Gallner, Chris Pratt, JK Simmons and Amy Sedaris. Jennifer’s Physique ought to have been an explosive field workplace hit. It solely made $31 million worldwide. A disgrace, however now it’s a real horror basic.

The opposite Megan Fox horror movie I’d suggest is much extra missed and much more moderen. That might be Until Loss of life, a film the place Fox finds herself handcuffed to her useless husband as a type of revenge, and should survive being focused by different killers who discover themselves invading her home. She’s dragging round this physique half the film and it’s really a very good idea that she does nicely with. No, it’s not Jennifer’s Physique, but it surely’s nonetheless a superb time, and definitely higher than Subservience.

I actually don’t assume Megan Fox is given sufficient credit score. When given the proper materials, she’s glorious and even outdoors of the horror style, I bear in mind her additionally doing a terrific job when she crammed in for Jess on New Woman for a stretch. Subservience won’t assist her case, however these different two films will.
