Directive 8020 Review: A Bold, Body-Horror Reboot for The Dark Pictures, Held Back by Its Own Quiet Moments
“Supermassive's sci-fi pivot delivers a career-best performance from Lashana Lynch and some of the studio's sharpest visuals to date, but the bones of the cinematic horror format are starting to show. A draggy first half, padded stealth detours, an uneven supporting cast, and recycled QTE rhythms keep Directive 8020 from punching at the weight its premise promises. Worth playing on subscription for the highlights; harder to recommend at full price.”
