## Megan Fox Bites Back: Is This Netflix Thriller “Intense” Enough? Megan Fox, known for her captivating beauty and roles in blockbuster franchises, is back and ready to scare. This time, she’s traded in the Transformers for chilling suspense in Dread Central’s latest thriller, now streaming on Netflix. But is this new offering more than just a pretty face in a scary situation? We dive into the world of this “intense” new film, exploring whether Fox truly delivers a performance to rival her undeniable star power.
Critical Acclaim: What did critics say about Megan Fox’s performance in “Till Death”, and why did they praise her?
Megan Fox has really never gotten a fair deal. I’m not going to relitigate decades of Hollywood misogyny, but know that I believe Fox is a more talented performer than her harshest critics would have you believe. After all, nothing in cult classic Jennifer’s Body works without her, and it’s a considerably more complex performance than “sexy succubus”. In recent years, Fox has been cropping up in more and more horror films, and I’ve largely been a pretty big fan. Rogue pits her against some killer lions in a goofy The Ghost and the Darkness riff, and Subservience… well, Fox is really good in it. Speaking of Subservience, director S.K. Dale previously helmed Till Death. Dale made his debut there, and it similarly stars Megan Fox. It’s also incredible, and streaming now on Netflix.
In my 3.5-star review way back in 2021, I called Till Death, “a solidly crafted home invasion slasher that relishes in its own bloodshed and commanding central performance,” adding, “Megan Fox is always a welcome horror star, a contemporary scream queen with more grit and grunge than most, and she’s as good here as she’s ever been.” Seriously. Till Death is worth it for Megan Fox’s performance alone. It’s one of the most underrated performances the horror genre has seen in some time.
- Our own Tyler Doupé penned a wonderful editorial, writing, “The flick is chilling, darkly comedic, suspenseful, and features some serviceable twists throughout. Not to mention, Megan Fox is a welcome sight who shines in the lead role. If you’re a fan of self-contained thrillers, you’ll love this intense effort.”
