For centuries.  And few male directors know this more than Neil LaBute.  In LaBute\u2019s \u201cIn the Company of Men,\u201d two middle-management men toy with a deaf subordinate, a woman who feels so vulnerable that she wears headphones, pretending to be listening to music to avoid others\u2019 awareness of her condition.  But things happen during the sadistic game that the men play with the poor woman that ultimately results in poetic justice to the man.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly in \u201cHouse of Darkness,\u201d a man, thinking that he is going to score big after he picks up a woman in a bar\u2014or did she deliberately pick up him?&#8211;is hoist with his own petard.  We know where this is going but there are a few surprises, a couple of jolts to break up a long conversation that he has with his intended hookup, to make this a cool ghost story.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHouse of Darkness\u201d is theatrical, a story that could easily be performed on an off-Broadway stage, but whose impact is not lost by the movie medium.  The male character, Hap Jackson (Justin Long) meets Mina Murray (Kate Bosworth) in a bar expecting to get lucky, but the thrust of the story, so to speak, involves the halting conversation he has with the seductive Mina.  There\u2019s a class difference between the two.  Hap works in finance and considers himself a \u201clower middle class public school\u201d fellow.  Mina owns a chateau which she says has been in the family for a while\u2014quite a while it will turn out.  The two sit by a fireplace, the room surrounded by lit candles, which come in handy because the light frequently goes out.  Hap insists that he is not married, but then reveals that he is legally separated, which satisfies Mina who states that she had never walked the aisle.  The conversation continues to be awkward, though they seem attracted to each other.<\/p>\n<p>When Mina\u2019s sister Lucy (Gia Crovantin) joins the couple, Hap falls into a trap by hitting on her, which to us in the audience might seem apropos given how Lucy seems easier to get to know.  When you add that situation to a previous one in which Hap is overheard talking to a male friend on the phone, more than hinting that he going to screw Mina\u2019s brains out, you get Mina\u2019s motivation to get back at him: a symbol of toxic masculinity.  Dread builds up.  A third sister appears out of nowhere, the three women about to reverse what the men did in \u201cIn the Company of Men.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a man, you may be reluctant to take a new female companion.  However, the concluding moments are disappointing, coming out of left field and undercutting the whole idea that only guilty men deserve punishment or at least the belief that Hap deserves what\u2019s coming to him.  The flawed ending undercuts LaBute\u2019s reputation as a class writer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>88 minutes. \u00a9 2022 by Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/p>\n<p>Story \u2013 B<br \/>\nActing \u2013 B+<br \/>\nTechnical \u2013 B<br \/>\nOverall &#8211; B<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House of Darkness Movie Review Saban Films Reviewed for Shockya.com &#038; BigAppleReviews.net, linked from Rotten Tomatoes by Harvey Karten Director: Neil LaBute Screenwriter: Neil LaBute Cast: Justin Long, Kate Bosworth Screened at: Critics\u2019 link, NYC, 8\/27\/22 Opens: September 9, 2022 in theaters Men have taken advantage of women for decades.
