One of the best experiences of sitting in a cinema is having a
film where the final act completely makes the film. Often times on social media, I’ll use the term #SavedByTheThirdAct, but occasionally it is just a film where
the finale is such catharsis and a culmination of everything in such a
fantastic manner it executes everything – flaws and all. This was the experience
of watching 1BR at Telluride Horror Show this year. The film starts off with
a relatively slow pace and loose narrative, but the final 20 minutes is a rip-roaring
combination that makes all of the efforts of its ensemble work, it’s sly genre
shifts, and slow character development pay off. It’s a solid film throughout,
but that ending makes it worth it.
