<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe \u201chome invasion\u201d subgenre has been flipped on its head a number of times, enough that Villains<\/strong><\/em>\u2019 concept of two petty criminals breaking into the home of a couple of actual demented psychopaths isn\u2019t exactly new. Like numerous other exercises in genre, however, Villains<\/em>\u2019 aim isn\u2019t to blaze a new trail but instead have a bit of subversive fun with its subject matter, testing how far an audiences\u2019 sympathies will go with characters who commit varying degrees of immoral acts. A film like this is all in the cast, and the movie\u2019s central quartet of Maika Monroe, Bill Skarsg\u00e5rd, Jeffrey Donovan, and Kyra Sedgwick are a lot of fun, with the younger couple doing a screwball comedy riff and the older couple seeing how far they can push their insanity. Villains<\/em> is one of those decent genre films released every year that don\u2019t break the mold, but are solidly done nonetheless. While its commentary isn\u2019t particularly deep, it can stand proudly amongst 2019\u2019s streak of genre movies taking dead aim at the rich, pointing out that they indeed may be the biggest villains of all.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
