Shadow in the Cloud follows a female flight officer during the Second World War, who after boarding a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, encounters an evil gremlin during the flight.
This movie passes straight through offensive and frustrating to laugh-out-loud hilarity.
Originally written by Max Landis, the script was rewritten once he was cancelled for sexual assault allegations. He was also removed as a producer.
They clearly wanted to make this a feminist film because of MeToo but went so far in the other direction that it becomes a farce of feminism (more than it already is anyways).
So why is it a fantastic feminist film?
Because every line by every man (except one, for reasons I won't spoil) is dripping with so much over-the-top base misogyny that it actually leaves you a little damp.
Because every man is a beast who shows no sense of humanity or decency and take every opportunity to degrade, oppress, ridicule and mock the female lead who is bravely doing what men do But Better.
Because the film slowly unfolds before you as a beautiful snapshot of how feminists see men.
The last 5 minutes is worth watching the movie alone - it's so aggressively moralistic that it starts to satirize itself - but it also makes the movie's bias quite clear and is a perfect capstone to a pile of trash.
It's not exactly an easy watch because it did get frustrating but as long as you go in knowing this is not to be taken seriously, you can have a pretty good time laughing at it, especially if you're watching it with a local men's group or something.
(I was going to suggest taking a shot every time the script demonizes men but I don't want to be liable for taking out half the sub with alcohol poisoning.)
[Edit: All the suggestions in this sub justify a "Women Are Wonderful" sub-genre of movies.]
