This is in my top five horror movies.

I think that Antione is developed simply as a misdirect. We think that the movie will follow him as the protagonist and the first part was an extended prologue. Eventually Lucie will meet up with him. Instead he gets killed instantly.

They have a torture room so that the parents can take their work home with them.

Getting better with age to be honest, and his range is pretty impressive. He can do nervous and neurotic in Shutter Island & The Departed, leading man in Titanic, Great Gatsby, Romeo & Juliet, comedy in his career highlights Wolf of Wall Street & OUQTIH. Villain in Django. Action star in Inception & The Revenant. And does it all with conviction. There was an element of adult in kids clothing in some of his early Scorsese pairings in The Aviator and Gangs of New York where he does feel like he’s trying a bit too hard and getting out acted by those around him (Blanchett and DDL which is no shame) but that’s a minor quibble.

I think he’s one of the best when it comes to conveying emotion and delivering lines, but he’s always Leo. (See also Tom Hanks, Amy Adams, or Denzel Washington.)

I rate actors that disappear into a role and convey that level of emotion higher: Christian Bale, Daniel Day Lewis, Olivia Coleman, Frances McDormand, Gary Oldman, etc.

He has incredible versatility as an actor and most importantly picks parts that play to his strengths.

On that point. If you take the 10 fastest sprinters in the world, and have them run a race. One will be first and one will be last. The last one is still the 10th fastest guy in the world.

Just because a co star may out shine him, it doesn't negatively reflect on DiCaprio.
