Next in the Into Dark Hulu series came December/ January's "New Year New You". This film deals with long time friendship that has been strained when one who's been the shittiest to people fiends some moderate success. Alexis (Suki Waterhouse) has arranged for a revenge attempt at a n intervention attempt of sorts for her groups former friend Danielle (Carly Chaikin). Really this whole movie is about manipulation and stepping on people to get to where you want to go in life. Case in point the film's other two supporting actresses Kirby Howell-Baptiste (Kayla) and Melissa Bergland (Chloe) really just fall along the wayside of a rivalry between Alexis and Danielle. Now, neither one is stable what so ever and all for girls seem to have a lot of baggage that they are dealing with.
Sadly, that is not enough to carry to the film into something scary. The performances aren't bad, but as this is a project where I'm looking at all these into the dark films both individually and lumped together as part of season one, this is the worst of the group thus far for me. It had it's own message but took a little from Flesh and Blood, just with performances that didn't get me to care about the characters as much.
