The Neon Demon (2016)
Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn
4.0/5EXECUTIONER "ACE"117 minQuick Hit
The Neon Demon plays like a head-trip horror piece—stylized, cold, with enough style to make the damage look beautiful.
Full Take
The Neon Demon leans hard into psychological horror energy, and Nicolas Winding Refn keeps the tone stylized without letting the movie drift. The filmmaking is locked in, the atmosphere is doing real work, and the payoff earns the damage. It may not be for everybody, but it definitely has teeth.

Not perfect but had some solid moments.
There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
