This movie is rough to get through. And not necessarily because of the brutal depictions of violence, which there is a lot of, though I didn't feel it was as gruesome as I was led to believe.

But because this movie is... exhausting. Its unrelenting.

There is no peace, no moment to breathe, just non stop tension and suffering. You feel utterly hopeless as you watch the main character endure the worst humanity has to offer.

However, I also walked away with a profound sense of catharsis.

Unlike many other violent movies, this didn't feel like shock for shocks sake, to me.

It felt personal, intimate, uncomfortable, and I sat for a good long time afterwards just thinking about myself and my own trauma, my own abuse. It was... I almost want to say healing in a sense but that isn't the right word.

I highly recommend this movie to anyone willing and capable of watching disturbing and brutal films.

Look, this isn't groundbreaking, it isn't terrifying, I wouldn't even consider it all that scary.

But it's short, to the point, and honestly I enjoyed it. The animation is great, the plot isn't over complicated, I enjoyed many of the characters, and I'm actually glad this was only 4 episodes Im thankful I watched before reading the reviews on here. Is it perfect? No. Is it scary? No. But is it "the worst anime ever?" As some have said, hell no.

Again, I enjoyed it, it was like a visual short story with horror elements. It feels right at home in the many short horror story books I read and collect. The fact people gave this 1 star when there are actually terrible animes that exist is genuinely confusing to me.

If you're curious, give it a watch. And if you hate it? Well you've only wasted the time it would take to watch a movie and you can move on.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. Somehow this movie is non stop escalation and yet nothing happens!! There is no plot and no explanation for anything. The main character is needlessly insufferable, like to the point that it's not even fun to hate her. She's just infuriating for no reason. Her awful personality adds nothing! I almost turned the movie off simply because I didn't know if I could bear to listen to her insessent awfulness for the full run time. I should have listened to my instincts.

This movie will raise your blood pressure (and not in that fun way that horror does) and leave you feeling exhausted. If you want a movie that did this concept well, watch Spree.
