Hold the Dark

I have a weird pattern with Jeremy Saulnier, i LOVE Murder Party, was underwhelmed by Blue Ruin, LOVED Green Room, but with his latest, Hold The Dark, i was kind of bored. It almost seems as if the film was made to get critics talking and to put Netflix on the map this October with a buzzed about flick. It is well shot, well acted, has good tension but honestly, i found it dull most of the time. Every time tension would build it'd lead to a super slow scene and not in a slow burn sort of way. It sort of felt like he wanted to make a Taylor Sheridan esque scripted film, but Wind River did it better.
