EJ Moreno with a review for the new horror film, Him…
Tyriq Withers and Marlon Wayans bring life into this surrealist, spooky sports movie, even when Him struggles under the weight of its weirdness. If you ever thought horror and the world of sports couldn’t mix, we’ve learn it’s a deadlier combo than expected.
Directed by Justin Tipping, the cast also includes Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, Jim Jefferies, Maurice Greene, Guapdad 4000, and Tierra Whack. Check out the review below, and be sure to follow us on YouTube for more reviews, exclusive interviews, and other video content…
HIM stars former college wide receiver Tyriq Withers (Atlanta, the upcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer) as Cameron Cade, a rising-star quarterback who has devoted his life and identity to football. On the eve of professional football’s annual scouting Combine, Cam is attacked by an unhinged fan and suffers a potentially career-ending brain trauma.
Just when all seems lost, Cam receives a lifeline when his hero, Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans), a legendary eight-time Championship quarterback and cultural megastar, offers to train Cam at Isaiah’s isolated compound that he shares with his celebrity influencer wife, Elsie White (Julia Fox; Uncut Gems, No Sudden Move). But as Cam’s training accelerates, Isaiah’s charisma begins to curdle into something darker, sending his protégé down a disorienting rabbit hole that may cost him more than he ever bargained for.
