The Privilege (2022 TV Movie)
1/10
So bad that it's actually hilarious
9 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This is only my second german media after Dark and I went in expecting a lot. My review is gonna be full of spoiler but you can read the whole plot and still there is nothing to spoil, this movie is that bad.

What to expect from this movie: Just imagine if Tommy Wiseau had lots of money and wanted to make a horror/jumpscare/dystopian/thriller/teen movie, all in one movie

Spoiler/whole plot ahead.

So the movie starts with a boy playing PS and his parents along with his youngest sister going outside leaving him and his elder sister at home. The boy keeps playing and suddenly power cuts( horror movie style). He goes up to his sister room, hears some moaning, and suddenly his sister's face is shoved in a glass door and he sees her with a bloodied face and some blurry figure. Cut to next scene, they are running away in a car and the sister is acting crazy. She stops the car at a bridge and starts acting more crazy and goes at the edge of bridge, begging his brother to come over otherwise IT will come. The boy goes to the edge and sister slips off the edge, hanging on to his leg, begging him to jump. He shakes her off and she falls down the bridge.

(So right off the bat, movie starts with a heavy scene. Even now the whole acting and the way scenes unfold seems stupid with no explanation for why actors are behaving the way they are. There is no explanation later in the movie for what happened to the sister in the room, no flashback explaining everything, no connection or hidden agenda.)

Next scene, ambulance, police & parent arrive. Boy is sitting with his father. They get the body of the girl, boy goes to see the body and shouts after seeing his face and camera zooms into the face as to give some hidden clue but it was nothing lol.

Fast forward some year, the boy is 16-17 now, he is consulting a physcatrist. She give him a capsule and tells him that he might be delusional for still believing all of that actually happened in the room.

Cut forward. Both siblings (boy and younger sister) go to some elite school. Boy has a crush and a lesbian friend (called LSBN here on now) and girl has boyfriend called BF hereon now. They go to classroom and the teacher is teaching about a fungi that mind controls ants and the class punk makes a cringe joke and everyone laughs. "At this point I had understood what I was in for".

The whole crowd( boy, his sister, LSBN, BF, his crush and the cringe punk) then goes to a party and dance, take substances. The boys get flashback of that night and collapses.

Wakes up feeling uneasy (uneasy as in feeling presence of something ominious), he goes downstairs to the garden and he sees through a glass door his whole family together in the living room along with a nude granny approaching his sister creepily. While this is happening he is literally standing right outside the glass door and no one is noticing him LMAO. He sees an axe and picks it up and then feels something demony and then collapses. He literally sees something so strange and doesn't ask his family about it, doesn't even feel suspicious of them.

He wakes up in the morning. They go to school and sister is acting strange, she ignores and snubs her boyfriend. They all go to gym class. Sister starts bleeding from the nose and collapses. They bring her home. He then sees her sister having telekenetic power and shakes it off as it's nothing LMAO. No mention of this power is made in the movie later. Even the boy doesn't think about it.

Later that night, (BF) messages boy and says he and his sister are in danger and asks him to meet at the diner. BF goes to diner and gets killed by a fat lady who appears to be possessed. Boy arrives some time later and finds the BF dead.

At this point you are thinking how did BF knew that boy and his sister were in danger. No explanation is given in the movie.

Police arrive and say it was suicide. They all go home.

Boy comes home, goes to his room and was about to take the capsule but notices a strange thing in it. It had a maggot kind of thing in it. He takes it out and takes the maggot to his teacher next day. She says it's some kind of fungus that grows on dead bodies. She gives him a card of some expert of fungus. You think to yourself the card belongs to some kind of scientist but it's not, it's actually a voodoo lady LMAO.

They go to Voodoo lady and she makes Pikachu shocked face after seeing the maggot/fungus. She immediately feels something about the boy, makes him sit down and holds his hand. She then sees flashback of his sister dying and then the boy pukes out a maggot from his mouth. And then he for no apparent reason gets angry and leaves, LMAO.

Boy visits his about to die grandpa and talks to him about demon and all. He sees some demonic things and call the voodoo lady.

He then comes home and he finds his crush at home. She had come to study and their parents leave the house for something.

Then the LSBN, voodoo lady and her son come to the house. Voodoo lady feels something strange about the house. And the son starts setting up laptops/speaker for white noise. A noise that can make demons talk, LMAO. Voodoo lady literally says a ghost will come and not to look at it but the LSBN and crush girl are just sitting there as if it's nothing, LMAO. So they start talking to demon, he appears, scratches the face of voodoo lady, then suddenly the parents come. They switch on the lights and demon goes away. They all start to freak out and parents ask the voodoo lady to leave. They are also acting as if they just didn't see a demon.

LSBN, crush and the boy then leave the house and goes to school in the car. They just had a demon in front of them and they are just going to an empty place, LMAO. Cut to next scene, these 3 are lying somewhere and start MAKING LOVE, LMAO, LMAO, LMAO.

Next morning, in the school, the cringe punk starts acting weird and tries to puke something out of his mouth. He jumps off the building in desperation. Ambulance comes and boy and crush goes to hospital with the cringe punk. The LSBN girl is standing outside and finds the capsule packet(the one which had maggot) from his bag and decide to investigate.

She finds out that capsule company is having a event nearby, she goes there and finds that boy's father is actually the ceo of the company. She then bumps into the fat lady from diner and lady gives LSBN THE STARE. The LSBN then go to the underground and finds that they are growing fungus/maggots out of dead bodies of people. She freaks out and leaves the building and again bump into the fat lady. At this point you would think the fat lady will have any more role or she will do something about the fact that the LSBN knows about their operations but NOTHING. There was no point of her being there

Meanwhile, boy and his crush and almost dead cringe guy arrive at the hospital, he feebly says to check his backpack for documents before being wheeled into ICU. Boy and the crush see the backpack and found out the boy, his sister and the crush were adopted. LMAO. There is no explanation as to why the cringe punk had their documents in his backpack, no mention later at any point LMAO.

Now suddenly, cringe punk's father comes into the hospital and rushed towards the ICU all frantically. They pronounce him dead right then. Father goes toward the boy and crush, Tell them that they are part of project and they are part of something big LMAO just 10 seconds earlier he was acting all concerned and now all villiany.

The boy and crush shrug him off and in the very next room, boys Gramps is being operated and suddenly he dies, LMAO, talk about lousy writing. Boy grieves and then the doctor injects him with something LMAO. The movie was straight up funny and abrupt from now on.

So the boy and the crush wake up in his house, his family and his sister, cringe punks father are there, helping boy get comfortable for being a vessel for the gramps. Gramps about to take over boy. They explain they are demons army and have been there forever. And just when boy was about to be taken over by Gramps,

LSBN comes to the house, puts fuel over all evil people and lit fire to them. Yeah just like that.

They go to a car, find the sister half burnt in the way standing there blocking the exit, remember she has telekenetic powers, well too bad directors forgot. So they run over the sister and she is just lying there dead In most funny way ever LMAO. You'd think she would do something if she survived the fire right, NO that's it.

They come to the same bridge and demon starts coming out of AC vent in mist like particles, so they crash their car in the bridge railing. Car was about to fall but all of them get out of car in the nick of time.

All three now look towards the road ahead and say they can't believe anyone, start smiling, kissing and start walking as if they just didn't escape the evil forces and there isn't a whole demon army, big company and a literal demon after them.

They start walking and the crush eyes flashes indicating she has demon in her. That's it! Movie ends without explaining anything at all.
