Antebellum
Successful author Veronica finds herself trapped in a horrifying reality and must uncover the mind-bending mystery before it's too late.
Critics Sentiment
Veronica escapes revealing the plantation is Civil War reenactment park
Daniel beats Julia causing her to miscarry her baby
The film jumps from its lowest point during Julia's brutal miscarriage scene (3.5) to one of its highest moments with the cell phone twist revelation (8.0)
Antebellum starts strong with impressive cinematography but struggles through exploitative violence in the first act before finding its footing with an effective narrative twist. The film peaks with its clever Civil War reenactment reveal, though critics remained divided on whether the ambitious concept overcame its problematic execution.
