I saw the great reviews and really wanted to like this one. But it wasn't for me. I was annoyed by the lack of a cohesive story. It felt like 3 different plots were being smashed together. With every new development I was hoping that the pieces would all start to fit, but it just gave me an improv vibe of "yes, and-!" in the writing. The twist ending left me wondering ... what did we learn here today? What was the point of all of this? Why are we still here? Just to suffer

If Fight club was a horror movie with blunt force humor also

Excellent. Keeps you engaged from start to finish. Funky soundtrack impressive acting and realistic dialogue keeps the pace flowing. It will stick with you after it ends

It’s got some weird and wildly incorrect takes on abortion that play into the “horror” that just felt really dumb. It took me out of the movie and the rest felt oddly paced and poorly acted.

This is over-the-top, intense, disturbing, horrifying and really interesting. There’s a lot going on in one movie and absolutely worth watching.
