17: In The Shadow Of The Moon (2019)
Trailer which I didn’t see until now and reveals quite a lot
(Not the documentary about the Apollo mission.)
Four people die in a strange and gruesome way one night, a cop kills the perpetrator... and nine years later it happens again.
I remember the publicity and reviews for this, which emphasised the violence of the attacks and the impact on the people involved, but apart from that it’s not really horror, it’s an SF mystery.
It’s the best thing I’ve seen for the month, just much more horror-adjacent than I was thinking.
I knew enough to be ahead of the characters, partially thanks to the prologue and the publicity, but it still had some surprises for me so I won’t say much more.
Minor historical quibble, 1988 is a bit early for the word “hoodie”.
The medium: Netflix
Gameability: behind a spoiler block
The killer is travelling back in time to prevent a future civil war so it plays like a time-skip investigation of something like The Terminator from an outside perspective.
