Significant Other

Why you shouldn&apos;t listen to the negative reviews...

I&apos;m seeing a lot of negative reviews from critics calling it a &quot;waste of time&quot;, and audience reviews of 3/5 stars. But remember, people tend to dislike things that are different. And this film is definitely different.

As a Shudder user, I see SO many 1 star reviews of films that I LOVE, saying that they&apos;re &quot;boring&quot; or &quot;not horror movies&quot; (it got so frustrating, I stopped reading them). I&apos;ve come to the conclusion that the average mainstream-movie watching person only defines a &quot;horror movie&quot; as one with a monster/demon/ghost/psycho killer, 90 minutes of interchangeable jump scares (usually of the antagonist appearing BEHIND the characters where only the audience can see), and a high body count.

So brilliant films like Garland&apos;s Annihilation, Strickland&apos;s In Fabric, Benson &amp; Moorhead&apos;s Resolution, or in this case, Olsen &amp; Berk&apos;s Significant Other, get passed up because they aren&apos;t understood, and therefore raves about, by the casual movie-going, mainstream majority.

I loved this film because it had all of the criteria you&apos;d hope for in the ever-evolving horror genre... tension, suspense, atmosphere, a fitting score, and even a twist you don&apos;t see coming. Just because there aren&apos;t gory kill scenes every 7-10 minutes by some grotesque creature does NOT disqualify a film from being classified as horror.

So if you truly appreciate horror as an artistic form of film art, something that can make you feel unease and suspense while making you think, then give this a shot and form your own opinion. Fans of horror films like Pontypool, Braid, Hereditary, Come True, or any of the aforementioned films will definitely love and appreciate this one.

Follow a young couple who take a remote backpacking trip through the Pacific Northwest, where things take a dark turn when they realize that they might not actually be alone.
