Remember when sports movies ended with a crowd cheering and the hero celebrating the result of his hard work and dedication? Well, HIM is about the exact opposite. It is about an athlete’s slow and agonizing descent into the dark world of the occult elite. And he’s taking all of the us with him.
HIM is yet another Jordan Peele movie (directed by Justin Tipping) that taps directly into the elite’s darkest tendencies. While Get Out was all about mind control and dissociation, HIM is an orgy of rituals and occult symbolism. And actual orgies. And adrenochrome-type procedures.
It’s all there. And there’s nothing much else there. There is no character arc, inspiring narrative, or great plot twist – only semi-possessed people who play their role in a puppet show.
That’s because the movie’s true focus is not its story or characters but the imagery surrounding them. Nearly every scene is peppered with symbols and references that point to specific occult concepts and secret societies.
