\n \u201cAntebellum\u201d is a bold move: It\u2019s a horror movie about slavery that makes few weighty comments about it.<\/p>\n

A purely entertaining, scary flick will infuriate the culturati who like their movies like they like their Atlantic articles: long and academic. However, despite some issues, this Janelle Mon\u00e1e film is a breathless watch.<\/p>\n

\u201cAntebellum\u201d bears a certain resemblance to this year\u2019s \u201cThe Hunt,\u201d which was about a group of gun-toting elites who killed \u201cdeplorables\u201d for sport. I hated every minute of \u201cThe Hunt,\u201d which had all the life and soul of a crowbar, but \u201cAntebellum\u201d corrects many of the former flick\u2019s\u00a0unfortunate flaws.<\/p>\n

The performances, led by a captivating Mon\u00e1e, are wholly committed, rather than smugly self-aware. Although the movie has pockets of lightness, it doesn\u2019t make a shabby attempt at full-blown satire instead of drama. And, most importantly, the film doesn\u2019t act smarter than it is.<\/p>\n

(There will be spoilers aplenty, so stop reading if you can\u2019t handle that.)<\/p>\n

The movie starts with a tough sequence of a foiled slave escape from a southern plantation. There is death and agony, and the tortured screams are drowned out by newcomers Nate Wonder and Roman GianArthur\u2019s memorably wicked score.<\/p>\n

We then recede to deafening quiet as we meet the downcast Eden (Mon\u00e1e), a woman who was instrumental in planning the coup, but whose life was spared by her otherwise barbaric, rapist owner. The leader of the place calls it a \u201creform plantation.\u201d Huh, weird. Indeed, there is something off about the way everyone is speaking.<\/p>\n

Mon\u00e1e soon wakes up \u2014 with a gasp, as though she has just been through a nightmare \u2014 in a normal bed in a posh modern home. We learn her name is Veronica, and that she is a liberal TV pundit and popular author. She has a husband, a young daughter and pals around with a forthright TV marriage expert (Gabourey Sidibe).<\/p>\n

After an off-putting video call with an offensive southern woman, we instantly know what\u2019s really going on.<\/p>\n

And therein lies the core problem of director-screenwriters Gerard Bush and Christopher Renz\u2019s \u201cAntebellum\u201d: The audience is too far ahead of it for too much of the movie. \u201cGet Out,\u201d which shares a producer with this film, had a shocking twist and, even after that turn of events, the movie continued to unfurl in surprising ways. \u201cAntebellum,\u201d on the other hand, doesn\u2019t keep us guessing, but instead uses a foreboding tone of dread to remain engrossing. Beyond the horrors of slavery, it isn\u2019t that frightening. Fear junkies, this might not be your movie.<\/p>\n

Most essential is the deep way in which we care about both of Mon\u00e1e\u2019s characters. In some ways, this film is more closely related to old-school \u201cDon\u2019t go in the bedroom!\u201d horror flicks than sophisticated new ones, and the consistently tremendous actress\u2019 drive and intensity keep us wishing Veronica wouldn\u2019t arrive at her clear destination.<\/p>\n

To be sure, \u201cAntebellum\u201d is not totally devoid of social<\/a> commentary. There are subtly \u2014 and blatantly \u2014 racist remarks and actions that happ<\/a>en in its Deep South setting that help us understand why Veronica ends up where she does. But it\u2019s also fun, plain-old popcorn horror, and there\u2019s nothing wrong with that.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
