The plot: Two inmates form a connection while grappling with their pasts in a state-of-the-art penitentiary run by a brilliant visionary who experiments on his subjects with mind-altering drugs.
The Spider-Head Movie was pretty good.
Pros: It does remind me of Ex Machina. The performances were all really strong like Chris Hemsworth, Miles Teller and surprisingly newcomer Jurnee Smollett. The production and filming was very good..
Cons: I did struggle to get the dialogue some times. the pacing was too slow for me & the 2nd act was boring to sit through.
I wasn’t that great for me but I have seen worst.
