The two hour part of the film after the prologue is set in Missouri in 2018 and the action is set in motion by a teenage girl going missing. So Empty Man has a 25 minute prologue set in 1995 which is horrific enough that seemingly has nothing to do with the other 2 hours of the film and that just suddenly ends. Disney would have never allowed this to be made because there are no light sabers in it. In a global pandemic year a large studio gave a first time filmmaker a bunch of money and said 'go make your vision'. As Chris points out, there's lots of money up there on the screen. It was the last thing that Fox did before they were absorbed into Disney like the blob. If you go to Chris' review about this film there is a link to an interview with the filmmaker. If a Blu came out of it I would definitely buy it, but I would be so disappointed if there was not a commentary. I would have never looked for it on HBO Max and I would have never stuck with it for the 2 1/2 hour running time if he hadn't reviewed it on his youtube channel as being something worth watching.
