The film’s attempt to blend horror and superhero elements falls flat, resulting in a messy and contradictory narrative. The visuals are described as ‘unspectacular’ and ‘monochromatic’, failing to deliver on the potential of its sinister horror and superhero thrills. Despite these shortcomings, some viewers found it entertaining due to its sheer absurdity. As a graphic designer with a love for art and design, I found the film’s lack of visual appeal and narrative coherence disappointing.
