Scooter McCrae's Black Eyed Susan, his latest feature since Sixteen Tongues, is a shocking though superficial sci-fi horror. Read on for our review.
Here is the rewritten content without the HTML tags and title:
Black Eyed Susan, a film about a woman named Susan, explores the relationship between violence and pleasure. At first glance, it may seem like an interesting and thought-provoking film. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this film is actually an empty, exploitative, and mishandled look at the relationship between violence and pleasure.
The first sign of trouble is the opening scene, where Susan begs Alan to slap her and "fuck" her, while Alan happily hands out insults, including "dirty c*nt." The encounter is stilted and unnatural, making it clear that the actors are not at ease with the material.
The film’s dialogue and script are its biggest flaws, with some sentences laugh-out-loud bad. The movie relies on close-ups of Susan’s ass posed perfectly in the air while Alan thrusts, and then, we realize this has all been an experiment. The creators of the film are more concerned with depicting men having rough sex with a female, human-presenting robot as she begs for more than with actually exploring the themes of violence and pleasure.
What’s most infuriating about movies like these is that they call themselves transgressive and thrive off condemnation from feminist snowflakes like me. The truth is that Black Eyed Susan represents a decades-old issue in film. We see right through its "shocking" and "brave" approach and discover the truth: women who are only there to be degraded, slapped, and humiliated.
The movie is an empty shell of a film, poorly made, and exploitative. It’s not a movie breaking the norms of cinema; it’s an attempt to shock and provoke, without any thought to the actual impact on its audience.
Cons:
- The performances from the cast are stilted, making every scene feel awkward and unnatural.
- The dialogue and script are the movie’s biggest flaws, with some sentences laugh-out-loud bad.
- The movie hones in on the sexual humiliation of Susan, but doesn’t bother to properly explore any of the ideas it brings up.
Conclusion:
Black Eyed Susan is an empty, exploitative, and mishandled look at the relationship between violence and pleasure. With stilted performances, poor dialogue, and a lack of exploration of the themes, this film is a disappointment.
