An uncomfortable watch... Not that that is a bad thing!.
19 August 2023
This film does a decent job of pulling together a cast of horror main stays and newcomers in an uncomfortably funny and at times, disturbing opus. This film stands on it's own because it is claustrophobic, stylistically unique with scenes punctuated with disorienting psychedelic imagery, an interesting plot, and stellar performances all around. Diane Franklin, Jamison Newlander, David Naughton are in fine form, along with Shelly Regner who gives a compelling and believable performance as the lead. The cast, it seems understood the assignment and ran with it. If I could equate my viewing experience to another film, I am reminded of seeing American Psycho for the first time where I wasn't quite sure if I should laugh out loud, or be completely disturbed. Is it perfect? Not by any means. The film could have had the benefit of having elements further fleshed out, and perhaps a slightly longer run time. Overall, an interesting and captivating watch.
