I remember exactly where I was on December 31, 1999: I was with five other friends at a friend’s house, playing Mario Map 64 and South Park: Luv Shack ChefAnd we didn’t care too much about the end of the world, but at the same time, we all breathed a sigh of relief at 12:01 am on January 1, 2000 when nothing happened. For months, the media had been hopping Y2K, a critical computer error that may, it may be, can eliminate all existing technology. The sophomoric horror comedy Y2k Imagining what could have happened if technology had, instead, tried to kill people, and although it is bombing in theaters, it is now one of Max’s hottest films.

Murdered house party

Y2k A nostalgic film aimed perfectly for everyone aged 37 to 48 with non-stop references to the turn of the century, including a murderer tamogotchi, a warlike soundtrack, and an amazing cameo that you should not go out and spoil for yourself. In fact, the film is at its best after midnight stroke when there are three unclean friends, Danny (Julian Dennison), Eli (Jaedan Martell), and Garrett (writer/film director Kyle Mooney), at a high schoolhouse party. Suddenly, technology tries to kill the children, from VCR sunbathing a woman’s head in, to the Tamogotchi, until finally, a strange collection of technology referred to as the screenslayer straight up stabbing people.

Farkas joins the boys (Strangers’ Eduardo Franco) and Eli’s Crush, Laura (Rachel Zegler), as they seek asylum at school and try to save their town from the deadly virus. Growing physically in size as the film progresses, the merger begins to take control of the people of the town, turning the invisible threat of a virus into a huge, huge film monster. Like the real computer glitch, Y2k Much more interesting in the summary, before it devolves to a standard horror film, because an early house party massacre is one of the best horror film scenes of the decade, and the rest of the film is… there.

Not a funny comedy, not a scary horror

Y2k Almost combining teenage comedy from the 2000s from the 2000s with horror comedy, but two halves of the film, like pineapple onwards pizzaDon’t taste great together. It’s not as funny as it could be like a straight comedy, and not as dark or inventive as it could be as a pure horror film, but it has great comedy beats, and a few creative deaths, but only one where they both combine perfectly to create such a shocking and unexpected moment, it will get a response from anyone. It’s unattached, very quickly, and losing the mark, but within a few years, this will hit sleep horror.

When he was in theaters, and in theaters, this is not stream Original movie, but since anyone went to see them, you get forgiveness. Y2k He won $ 4 million despite the fairly moderate film budget of $ 15 million; It was a substantial flop and disappointment when it ended on December 6, 2024. As his current success shows, going to theaters may have been a mistake, but it is very popular.

Y2K is popular in the future

For everything that Y2k Making poor, the film compensates for it with enthusiasm and the infectious joy that only comes from a director’s first big film. Kyle Mooney is still trying to find his voice and style, but at least he takes a huge swing with this horror comedy mashup and does not play it safely for most of the film. In a few years, the Corny and Longing 2000s dialogue will make this hit to a generation that he cannot remember a world without mobile phones and never experienced Woodstock 1999

Y2k Now streaming on Max.
