"description": "Opus is one more entry into a class of dark, horrifying and weird movies that have been en vogue recently. There's Blink Twice , Get Out and — perhaps — The Menu . An otherwise \"normal\" jaunt turns, slowly, quickly dark. There are subtle or overt signs that something is off. The people you're with ignore them and try to gaslight you. Then they end up dead. Or you end up trapped with them as they're killed. Opus plays with this trope by using a reclusive musician and the cult of fandom and, after years in isolation, a cult he's developed on the compound he inhabits. Are real musicians like this? Hello, who knows and who cares. It's an interesting narrative device and makes for a compelling, if not all that original film. In less accomplished hands this could've been a real dud, but it boasts a seriously accomplished and talented cast that makes it compelling the whole way through.",
