All in all, 47 Meters Down: Uncaged is a film I would recommend. It promotes the bond of sisterhood, which in this case is clearly thicker than blood, as well as courage. No one truly knows how strong they are until they go through something unimaginable and come out changed for the better.
‘Candyman’ (2021) builds upon the original 1992 film by presenting the myth of Candyman not only as an example of black pain, but as an opportunity for black vengeance.

The Suicide Squad’s Polka-Dot Man aka Abner Krill, played by David Dastmalchian, helped me come to terms with my own issues of anxiety.
‘Don’t Breathe 2’ is a sequel that forgoes almost everything that made its predecessor good, and asks audiences to root for a rapist on top of that.

A film about family and sacrifice… and carnivorous locusts coming after you.
