Quick Review: This is one hell of a good marvel special. It’s one hour and it doesn’t drag which is good. But the strongest element in this special presentation is the directing. The directing here from Michael Giacchino is very strong and it’s an amazing directorial debut from him. A lot of creative directing went into this project and the payoff was worth it. It’s very energetic and fun and bloody which is surprising. They got away with the blood since it was black in white. In which case, the black and white really works here and I wish they filmed it with actual film stock. It’s digital but I still love the cinematography in this special. The action is enjoyable and bloody. The atmosphere is so chilling and while I didn’t feel scared, I did feel what it was going for. It’s a spooky story and it worked. The VFX is pretty great and the production design looks pretty great for this special. The performance from Gael Garcia Bernal is pretty great and it’s nice to see a Mexican lead in a Marvel project. Ahora si mis compadres! The villain was pretty weak but it’s done its job. Laura Donnelly is also great in this special and I liked her character more because of her performance and small backstory. Overall, this is a strong MCU project because of its direction and creativity. This doesn’t feel like an MCU project and I’m happy that I got that feeling. This was an enjoyable watch at midnight and I hope we get more specials like this! Now Streaming Only on Disney+ Vizeit Score: "A-" (Share this review with your film friends and on social media!
