In the cast, we also find Jurnee Smollett (Birds of Prey, True Blood) in the role of Rachel and Tess Haubrich (Alien Covenant) in that of Heather.
Anticipatory narrative and psychological manipulation are at the heart of Spiderhead, so many elements that can make the film become the new hit of the platform of streaming. Also note that the screenplay of the Netflix film is adapted from the short story “Escape from the Spiderhead” written by George Saunders. Spiderhead is directed by Joseph Konsinski, who also works behind the camera for Top Gun 2currently in theaters.
What is Spiderhead, the last anticipation film released on Netflix worth? According to Allociné, “Spiderhead has a strange atmosphere of its own. Unfortunately, the final twists and the conclusion of the feature film are too expected and tarnish the picture a little”. For its part, Télé-Loisirs compares it to “a luxurious episode” of Black Mirror, which “turns out to be devilishly clever and allows us to reflect on our world”, by questioning our relationship to technologies and consent and obedience to authority. The TV outlet calls Spiderhead “a thrilling dive into the psyche and manipulation.” Conversely, Ecran Large deplores “a poor scenario” but “an inspired staging”.
