This is one of the most fucked up movie I’ve seen. I love it! It’s so grotesque. The message of the movie is not to be misunderstood.

What do you guys think about it?

I’ve got to collect myself to write more. 🤣

    One thing I was thinking about when watching this movie was that it reminded me a lot of the movie Requiem for a Dream. It touches on similar topics in terms of drugs that is used and how it changes the characters and makes them live for it.

      Ye, it definitely had major Arronovsky influences. I also loved all the shining references. I really dug it. I felt traumatized after watching it. What a fucking ride. Solid flick.

    I absolutely loved this movie. The ending gave me real Society (1989) vibes. I can’t get enough of practical effects and body horror. A true gem of our time.

    I agree with the “Holy fuck. What did i just watch?” but the last 30-40 minutes of the movie were way over the top. All the suspense and anticipation got blown away by a ridiculous ending.

      I get that but I’m pretty sure it’s a metaphor for what the character is trying to do. She is becoming a monster because she has to feel so good when in reality she feels like a monster.

        I got the message but it was way too much. The ending could have been so much better but it turned a movie into an insufferable grotesque.
