One who has graced THiNC.’s pages over and over and over again. Riley Keough, the granddaughter of Elvis, has blown the doors off the movies, It Comes At Night, Mad Max: Fury Road (one of my favorite movies of the past five years), Welcome the Stranger, The Discovery, and on and on… basically if Riley Keough is in a film, you can all but be sure that it’ll be a hit here on THiNC.
And though I thought it impossible, Medora Slone’s character is played by an even more influential actress.
Jeffrey Wright played one of the two critical parts in West World, and cemented his fame in my mind with his role as Bernard. Russel Core, played by Jeffrey Wright, of Hunger Games and West World fame. Now, I just mentioned two characters, whose actors with pedigrees that are off the charts. When Medora Slone’s son goes missing, she hires Russell Core, a renowned wolf scientist, (pack sociologist?), to investigate. Several children have started going missing after suspected wolf attacks. And it is based on William Giraldi’s book by the same name. It was written by Macon Blair, who most famous for his writing of the amazing screenplay, I Don’t Feel At Home In This World Anymore. Hold the Dark is a movie, directed by Jeremy Saulnier, who will be best known for his upcoming work on episodes 1 and 2 of True Detective season three. Do me a favor and click here to watch the film, and then return if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet. From here on out, the rest of this review is spoiler infested craziness.
