Warning: Will contain major spoilers for Starry Eyes
Starry Eyes is a horror film that follows the story of an aspiring actress named Sarah who is willing to do whatever it takes to make her dreams come true in the world of Hollywood.
This story is tragic, watching Sarah slowly go down a road of pure madness is difficult to endure as a viewer. Sarah is a good person with a kind heart, that has dreams like many of us do.
Unfortunately, a movie studio digs its claws into her, convincing her to give in to the darkest actions imaginable. Her desire to become famous is so strong, that she doesn’t care about the consequences.
Her body literally goes through its own reverse metamorphosis, slowly declining into something pure evil.
It’s horrible to witness a person with a good soul experience this kind of tragedy, and her journey truly paints a wicked picture of how terrifying Hollywood can actually be.
What Sarah does to obtain her dreams…is sickening and tragic.
Sarah’s biggest task is to murder all of her friends to become famous, or she will die.
You wouldn’t think Sarah would actually go through with this horrible demand that the movie studio would ask her to do, right?
Surely, she would give up her life for people that have been nothing but supportive of her, and wanting what is best for her?
Just when I was expecting her to remain true to herself, she surprises me by going on a murder rampage against her own friends.
She takes down each of them in different ways, all of them suffering from both pain and the betrayal of their own friend killing them one by one.
This was the part of the film I absolutely hated, and I no longer was rooting for Sarah’s character by this point in the film. She had made her choice, become famous by getting rid of the people who wanted her to be happy.
Sarah became just like the monsters who promised her fame. Watching her embrace her monstrous side was heartbreaking and tragic, knowing that she was no longer the old Sarah we once knew.
She was now a monster disguised in human flesh, completing her transformation into what she always wanted to become.
A better version of herself, an actress, and a confident woman that gave up her humanity and her loved ones for fame.
Thank you for reading!
