Scatterbrained ‘False Positive’ drives promising premise into ground A24/Courtesy Grade: 2.0/5.0 “False Positive” has all the trappings of the sharp 21st century horror film. It’s smoothly shot with a bounty of prestigious family and social drama, but it would take different hands to bring all that to light. As the film (a minor A24 production sent to Hulu, for good reason) stands, director John Lee has thrown a jumbled mess at the wall, hoping anything will stick. Some stuff does, but “False Positive,” supposedly a dark comedy, can’t figure out how to latch onto the satire lurking in its concept. Marketing executive Lucy (Ilana Glazer) has been trying to conceive with husband Adrian (Justin Theroux), a well-to-do surgeon, for two years and, at their wit’s end, they turn to fertility specialist Dr. Hindle (Pierce Brosnan). Brosnan, a former James Bond, plays a Bond villain: reassuring voice but eyes with an I-want-to-take-over-the-world-with-my-spawn glint — you know, that type.
