Adele is in Dallas on her North American tour, the timing of which happened to fall on the day after Halloween. And that's why the superstar songstress was trick-or-treating in the Dallas area, decked out to the nines in a costume from The Mask.

The singer posted a set of photos to her Instagram of herself dressed as Jim Carrey's The Mask from the 1994 film.

Her costume comprised a baggy suit, broad-brimmed hat, polka-dot tie, and realistic mask. The telltale sign it was Adele? Her "Angelo" tattoo on her right hand.

Adele posted two photos of herself, both in black and white. (Oh, snap.) One shows the full costume; the other is a close-up of her makeup job, on the caliber of a Hollywood makeup artist, with foam padding, the whole works.

The photos had the caption "Halloween 2016 / Dallas, TX," although some reports on Facebook have hinted she was actually in Highland Park.

Adele is in the middle of a two-night stint of performances at American Airlines Center on November 1 and 2. In all, she'll spend more than a week in Texas, with two dates at Austin's Frank Erwin Center on November 4 and 5, and then two more dates at Houston's Toyota Center on November 8 and 9. She's on tour in support of her album, 25, released in November 2015.

Survival takes on new meaning in intense but hokey Whalefall

Austin Abrams in Whalefall.

Austin Abrams has been a professional actor for 15 years, but the 30-year-old seems to just now be getting his due. After years of mostly supporting roles in films like Paper Towns, Brad’s Status, and Weapons, he has been charged with leading two films in 2026 where he’s largely acting by himself: First Resident Evil and now Whalefall.

Abrams plays Jay Gardiner, who has returned home to California a year after the death of his hard-ass father, Mitt (Josh Brolin). The two had a tempestuous relationship, and while his mom (Elisabeth Shue) and sisters (Jane Levy and Emily Rudd) reminisce fondly about him, Jay finds it difficult to come up with good memories. The two did share a connection with the ocean, and Jay decides to honor him by going scuba diving.

Ignoring warnings of whale activity in the area, Jay makes his way out into a notoriously dangerous part of the ocean near their home. Soon after he starts swimming, he encounters a sperm whale chasing after a giant squid. Jay inadvertently gets sucked into the enormous creature’s mouth and, ultimately, inside its body. Faced with a seemingly inescapable situation, Jay’s only hope lies in the lessons his father taught him.

Directed by Brian Duffield and adapted by Duffield and Daniel Kraus from Kraus’ book of the same name, the film is at its best when it depicts Jay struggling to survive within the whale. The claustrophobic nature of the setting and the various obstacles (multiple contracting chambers, the squid, and more) he faces make every scene inside the whale feel as intense and cover-your-eyes scary as any great horror movie.

Naturally, the entire movie can’t be about his survival efforts, and so the filmmakers toggle back and forth between Jay’s ordeal in the whale to memories of times with his father. Not so coincidentally, these remembrances come with subtle or overt wisdom from Mitt that would serve Jay well in his current situation. More often than not, these flashback scenes are so on-the-nose that they come off as cheesy instead of inspirational.

It’s also difficult to derive any big emotions from the story other than revulsion at the way Jay’s body is brutalized while he’s inside the whale. None of the characters in the film receive a notable introduction to the audience before big events start happening. It’s next-to-impossible to be invested in their stories when their personalities are being revealed in bits and pieces throughout the movie.

Abrams does well enough in bringing out the terror Jay feels in the whale and the sullenness/anger he has toward his father in other scenes. But whether it’s because his lines in the whale are hard to understand (he’s often talking around a scuba mouthpiece) or the disconnect the character has with father, there’s just something missing in his performance. Brolin’s performance is one-note, and Shue, Levy, Rudd, and John Ortiz don’t appear enough to make a big impact.

With Kraus onboard as the co-writer of the film, it may be the case that Duffield was not given leeway to change the story of Whalefall too much. What might have worked in the book doesn’t seem to translate equally to the film, and while Jay’s nightmare in the whale is effective, the rest of his story doesn’t come across as successfully.

Whalefall is now playing in theaters.
