THE MONSTER

__ Macdonald begins his documentary about iconic singer Whitney Houston with an eerie juxtaposition of slo-mo shots from the ‘How Will I Know?’ video (“For a few frames, she’s revealing her real self”) with a candid interview she gave about a dream of being chased by a monster. “The main question people have about Whitney is, ‘What was the demon that she was a victim of?’” he says. “This is a way of setting up that idea.”
