Tentacles (2021)
I'm watching Tentacles and all I can think about during one scene is the person who said white people look like raw chicken when they having sex. They were not wrong.
Also, Casey said I'm going to give the girls what they want. Fucking. Lots of it.
There is a lot going on in the plot. Too much if you will.
This movie is a great example of 'Listen to black women'. Eight minutes in Esther tells him, "flip it. . . turn it [his parents house] into a photo studio. Replace the bad memories with some good", so he can work on his art while also doing their real estate business, so he doesn't have to stress about income. He acts like what she said was so offensive to his character. In comes white Tara Parrish, a stranger with more secrets than personality, saying the same thing but with a white face and Sam thinks it's the most wonderful suggestion he's ever heard, he tells her "no one has ever cared about me the way you do. . . really seen me". Bitch! Esther has been your best friend through all of it, your garbage fire of a father, your mother dying, everything. She's been right there. Created a whole business and brought you in because she saw you were spiraling into alcoholism and depression, but this random white girl you've known for a few months sees you?!?! Sam got what he deserved. He gets no sympathy from me.
The thing about putting tentacles into any horror story is that they’re so inexplicable. Octopuses are basically alien lifeforms on Earth. It’s no coincidence that Cthulhu, whose appearance inspires madness, is a tentacle-based god. It’s like how a closed door is scarier than an open one. You don’t really know the why or how of tentacles, and that’s what makes them scary.
Tentacles (2021) is about a young couple renovating a house together. Aww! Tara moves to LA and meets Sam, who is still reeling from the deaths of his parents. He wants to sell their house, the one he grew up in, but Tara convinces him to fix it up and make it their own.
I refuse to say more. Tentacles is the kind of inexplicable horror b-movie that I enjoy. I hate it when they over explain everything in horror movies. I don’t want to know what the ghost wants, just show me more moving furniture. I like it when questions like ‘why is this happening?’ are in fact part of the horror. Confusion can be horrifying, but mainstream audiences don’t like to be confused.
This film is not perfect, and its biggest flaw is that the two main characters are just pretty boring. There’s also a lot of sex. Blumhouse’s Into the Dark series embraces low-budget made-for-tv horror, so we can forgive these things if the strong story elements are memorable. If you’re like me and enjoy b-movies with plots too weird for the big screen, I’d recommend Tentacles. But if you don’t have that particular taste for things that are actually kind of bad, probably just skip the whole series.
