The Bachelor finale's hunt for Colton Underwood played out like a horror movie
-
"The first part of last night’s Bachelor finale was some of the scariest stuff the show has ever given us, assuming that by scary you mean 'literal horror-movie tropes' rather than 'contestants who are racist or so unhinged that it does seem like they could kill someone," says Kathryn VanArendonk. She adds: "Like so much of The Bachelor, the show’s sudden dive into horror tropes is a multilayered mess of emotion. The episode was edited to look truly scary on the surface; those images of dark roads, the shaky camera work, the backlit shot of a producer chasing Colton down the road — all of it was purposely pieced together to look more like The Blair Witch Project than a Bachelor finale. Once you recognize how mannered it all is though, it begins to seem very silly."
