Explaining the Mind-blowing Conclusion

The horror movie Sick takes audiences on a thrilling and relatable journey through the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. As we all remember the challenging spring of 2020, Sick offers a fresh perspective on the slasher genre. šŸ©øšŸ’€

Starring Gideon Adlon, known for her roles in movies like Blockers and The Craft: Legacy, Sick follows the story of two best friends, Miri Woodlow (Beth Millon) and Parker Mason (Gideon Adlon), who find themselves quarantined in a lakeside home. Little do they know, a masked killer is on the loose, stalking them. šŸ˜±

The ending of Sick delivers a mind-bending plot twist that rivals the best in the genre. After a series of terrifying encounters, Parker manages to escape from the killer and finds what she believes to be helpā€”a car with a seemingly trustworthy driver. However, as it turns out, the driver is in cahoots with the killer. Parker is drugged, wakes up back in the house, and discovers the shocking identity of the killers.

In a brilliant twist, she realizes that Benjiā€™s (Logan Murphy) parents, Pamela (Jane Adams) and Jason (Marc Menchaca), are the ones responsible for the terrifying attacks. They blame Parker for Benjiā€™s death, convinced she infected him with COVID-19 after they had shared a kiss. But hereā€™s the kickerā€”Parker actually contracted the virus from Tyler, who Pamela and Jason killed in the movieā€™s opening scene.

Miri and Parker prove themselves to be resourceful and intelligent horror movie heroes and defeat Benjiā€™s vengeful parents. In the final scene, as the police approach the scene, they stand outside the lake house, survivorā€™s relief painted across their faces. The traumatic experience they endured has left them speechless, but their story is far from over. šŸš”

Before this intense climax, Miri takes matters into her own hands and fights back against Pamela. Using a bottle as a weapon, she injures Pamela, who survives a fall through a window only to be doused in gasoline and set ablaze by Parker. Meanwhile, Miri ensures Jason meets his demise by throwing him over a flight of stairs, impaling him on deer antlers. šŸ”„

šŸŽ„ What Is The Plot Of Sick?

Sick is a fast-paced thriller that not only offers heart-pounding action but also delves into the strong bond between its two main charactersā€”Parker and Miri. These resilient and headstrong women are also visited by DJ Cole (Dylan Sprayberry), adding an additional layer of complexity to their story.

Directed by John Hyams and written by Kevin Williamson and Katelyn Crabb, Sick strikes a perfect balance between thrills and emotional depth. The movie explores the survival instincts and intelligence of its characters, making them worthy additions to the pantheon of smart horror movie protagonists. šŸŽ¬

šŸ§ What Did Critics Say About Sick?

Sick garnered mostly positive reviews from critics, who praised its thrilling nature and well-structured plot. Simon Abrams from Rogerebert.com awarded the movie three stars, describing it as ā€œthrillingā€ and commending John Hyamsā€™ direction. Adrian Horton of The Guardian also gave it three stars, calling it ā€œbriskā€ and praising its attention to structure.

However, as is often the case, not all reviews were glowing. David Fear of Rolling Stone criticized the movie as an ā€œotherwise stock take on the olā€™ teens-and-terror-at-a-lake-house chestnut.ā€

Despite any negative feedback, one cannot deny that the aptly titled Sick resonates with its audience. šŸ¤’šŸ’”

In an interview with Syfy.com, Kevin Williamson, the mastermind behind Sick, shared an interesting tidbit about the movieā€™s name. It was TV producer Bryan Fuller who, without hesitation, suggested the title ā€œSICK.ā€ Although the studio initially dismissed the idea, director John Hyams loved it, and in the end, thatā€™s what stuck. Bryan Fullerā€™s intuition proved to be devilishly clever once again!

Sick was released on Peacock, bypassing the traditional theater experience. Nevertheless, the movieā€™s action still delivered a memorable and exciting ride. In an interview with Moviemaker Magazine, Kevin Williamson remarked on the decision to release the film on Peacock:

ā€œBut itā€™s a small movie, and it feels like a very intimate, small film, thereā€™s not a big cast. Itā€™s not a big spectacle. Itā€™s a very insular chase sequence. The movieā€™s one big chase scene between a killer and these two young women.ā€

If youā€™re in the mood for an intense trip through a horror-filled pandemic world, Sick is a must-watch!
