As Yelena Belova points out to her adoptive sister at one point, she and other were not manipulated psychologically, but surgically. The process involves everything from training with weapons, lessons in ballet dancing, and even watching violent Disney cartoons, which appears to be one of the Red Room’s methods of psychological manipulation. I would not be surprised if the daughters of those families became Widows themselves.Ī Hint At The Widows' Mind Control ProceduresĪs previously established, Black Widow’s opening credits sequence offers a glimpse into how Natasha Romanoff and other young girls like her are made into Widows. A brief clip from a news broadcast reports of a “Russian sleeper cell discovered in suburban Ohio” with a voice over adding that there were even more operatives shacking up in burbs and raising families. citizens during the Cold War and even in the 2000s, which The Americans on FX cited as inspiration.īlack Widow’s opening credits reveals that David Harbour’s Alexei Shostakov ( formerly known as the Red Guardian) and his faux wife Melina Vostokov (Academy Award winner Rachel Weisz) were not the Red Room’s only agents hiding in plain sight. This is based on real-life accounts of Russian spies posing as U.S. We learn in the cold open, set in 1995, that Natasha’s family was really a front for a covert surveillance operation orchestrated by the Red Room. Natasha Romanoff’s dark upbringing also has some historical relevance, and I do not mean Black Widow’s faithfulness to the comic book source material. I would definitely recommend it to these two groups with a soft recommendation to more mainstream horror fans.A News Report Exposes Russian Spies Undercover In Suburbia Anyone familiar with Lovecraft themes should be able to appreciate it as well at those who enjoy the body-horror genre.

This movie won't be for everyone, some will find it confusing as it doesn't have a well outlined explanation for the events going on, but it's not meant to. The relationship between Oz and Tess seems rushed but they have pretty good chemistry. The story while bizarre is tight and paced well. Good old fashioned disgusting special effects based on gooey melting bits and loads of slime and fluids. What I liked about this movie is all the special effects were real world common sense effects with little to no CGI.
Time goes by, Tess and Oz become closer, and the ominous game begins to affect our two protagonists in dangerous ways leading to mind altering body horror sequences commonly seen in Lovecraft inspired horrors. Meanwhile a creepy homeless man repeatedly appears on the outskirts of the story observing Oz and Tess. Upon playing this mysterious game Oz experiences a loss of time and becomes violently ill.
Shortly after a mysterious package arrives at the shop holding a chip board which Oz installs into an empty stand up arcade console. Due to her outgoing nature they somewhat hit it off and plan to meet up later which becomes the beginning of a relationship that spans the rest of the movie. Jerry later excuses Oz and tells him he needs to get out and have a little fun and to go have some drinks at the local bar where he meets Tess once again who sparks up a conversation. There's Oz, the young quiet loner working repairing consoles for his kind boss Jerry until an attractive yet somewhat quirky and forward young woman named Tess comes in to look at what they have in stock. We have a small cast involved, mainly consisting of four people, two of which share the majority of screen time. So what we have here is a lovecraftian horror set in an old school arcade console repair shop.
