She follows the naked man for a few blocks and screeches Where is your mask!

“This entails her singing about sex with parents, incest, and suicide.

In the next scene, shes packing, abandoning her cat, and walking out on her life.

LAX is a ghost town and she informs us of this in an affected baby-doll voiceover.

The monotony of her flight is punctuated by Annie singing/rapping until she arrives in England.

But it doesn’t happen.

Annie arrives at an empty cafe with the intention of picking up food.

The woman requests a favor take Angela (Faith Kiggundu) to an address she supplies.

Annie thinks she is getting dragged into a human trafficking room until Seylan gives her a wad of cash.

This is when the film takes a much darker and more interesting turn.

Annie takes nothing seriously, shes the poster girl for internet-obsessed people who only commit to parasocial relationships.

How Does ‘Dashcam’ Compare to ‘Host’?

These points could have been conveyed in a more subtle way.

The simplicity ofHostwas key to its success.

However, the second half of the movie is a full-blown horror nightmare worth your time.

Just be patient with Annie.

The Boogeymanis out now in theaters.
