Interesting script and general plot, but my god, the female lead in this film was the most irritating and loathsome I've ever had the displeasure of watching.

A character like this needed to have a lot of charm to extract even the slightest bit of compassion from the viewer. This character was so one-note and had ZERO charm. She was only annoying and only ridiculously over the top rude and stubborn.

The male lead, now he had likability. If he didn't, I would've stopped watching the second this woman opened her mouth. I did have to stop watching eventually because I couldn't take her anymore, but I'm proud of myself for making 3/4 of the way through.

This film has trash acting and cinematography, yes. But it also has the weirdest script I've ever seen played out in my entire life, and I'm pretty accomplished at finding weird, awful movies (Tubi TV makes it so easy!). This one takes the cake for being the weirdest I've ever experienced... and I kind of dig it. I've watched it at least four times now- I feel like it's boring into my soul.

The set dressing is actually kind of unsettling and the music sometimes drives that feeling also. I can't even tell you what this is really about. The filmmaker meant for it to be metaphoric, something that's shoved down your throat throughout the film, but what he means by the dialogue, I have no clue. I think it could be a metaphor for hell, but there are bizarre details that make zero sense and I can't stop trying to make sense of it.

If you like weird, unsettling films that make no sense, this is a must-see. Unfortunately, not many people like films that look like they were shot in VHS, so I don't see this doing numbers.
