Glorious (2022) is a movie recently added to Shudder. The storyline follows a man who recently has something unfortunate happen between him and his girlfriend and now lives out of his car. He pulls over at a rest stop to get some rest and when he wakes up he uses the bathroom. Once in the bathroom he gets trapped inside and peer pressured into doing things by an intergalactic beast that to the naked eye appears to be a fancy truck stop glory hole...
This movie was directed by Rebekah McKendry (All the Creatures were Stirring) and stars Ryan Kwanten (Dead Silence), J. K. Simmons (Spider-Man), Tordy Clark (Anything's Possible), Sylvia Grace Crim (The Hunt) and André Lamar (First Wives Club).
This movie had a lot going for it. Ryan Kwanten delivers an amazing performance. JK Simmons was also a great choice as the voice of the creature. The settings are very well created. The bathroom reminded me of the cellar in Saw. The CGI horror effects were also good. The storyline itself was creative, unique and well executed. My biggest complaint is that I wanted more from this film. The intensity and horror elements needed to be taken a step further.
Overall, this is a solid addition to the horror genre and worth watching once. I would score this a solid 6/10.
