Description: The sheer audacity of "Destroy All Neighbors" (2024) is breathtaking. Josh Forbes’ directorial debut isn’t just a splatter-fest; it's a darkly comedic exploration of creative obsession, brilliantly performed by Jonah Ray as the increasingly unhinged William Brown. Ray's portrayal of a musician driven to homicidal extremes by a noisy neighbor (a wonderfully grotesque Kiran Deol) is both terrifying and hilarious. The film cleverly blends gory practical effects with a surprisingly poignant undercurrent, questioning the lengths we’ll go to for our art, even as the body count—and the undead—climb. While the supporting cast, including Randee Heller, Pete Ploszek, and DeMorge Brown, adds to the chaotic energy, it's Ray's performance that anchors this wild ride into the bizarre and unexpectedly resonant. "Destroy All Neighbors" is a messy, brilliant, and unforgettable cinematic experience.
