HIM
After suffering a potentially career-ending brain trauma, Cameron Cade receives a lifeline when his hero, legendary eight-time Championship quarterback and cultural megastar Isaiah White, offers to train Cam at Isaiah's isolated compound that he shares with his celebrity influencer wife. But as Cam's training accelerates, Isaiah's charisma begins to curdle into something darker.

The film crashes from its strongest opening sequence to complete narrative confusion by the midpoint, dropping from effective atmospheric horror to gratuitous shock violence.
HIM starts with a compelling premise and striking visuals that initially engage critics, but quickly devolves into a disjointed mess of half-baked ideas and confusing symbolism. While Marlon Wayans delivers a career-best performance and the cinematography remains consistently praised, the film ultimately fails to coherently execute its ambitious blend of sports drama, psychological horror, and occult themes. Critics consistently noted the film's inability to decide what it wants to be, resulting in a beautifully shot but narratively hollow experience that squanders its potential.
