No pun intended - the movie is quite out there. You really get into the mind of our main character. Of course his past does inform his present ... but what does that mean exactly? And how does he or has he coped with that? If he has at all of course .. you are able to sabotage yourself. Even if you don't mean to ... or is there something more, something quite sinister? Well you have to watch to find out.

Of course this having a same sex love theme, may not be what you are looking for. And if you have issues with that, well that would mean you will be missing out on a more than decent movie. The ending is a bit weird ... but then again, the whole movie to say the least.

So this movie is a little wacky and wild. By this i mean... well nothing. But jokes aside this movie is fine i guess.

To start off with i want to talk about the mental illness part of this horror. I thought this movies portrayal of mental illness was fine but offered nothing in terms of feeling. By this i mean if someone who had a similar mental illness was to watch this movie then maybe they would feel something (maybe). But if you suffer from nothing like this then this movie doesn't do much to make you feel sorry and/or sympathetic towards the main character. It's a mix and match and depending on your personal situation i feel it is either good or bad and nothing in between. This is why i think the way it's shown in this movie is average overall. When i say all this i do not mean to offend anyone or downplay metal illness in any-way. If you feel as if i have i do apologize.

Moving on to the story and i must say that i thought that this part of the movie was fine. I struggle to say much here as the story was pretty much the mind of the protagonist. But his mother, boyfriend and father were all key pieces of the puzzle. The movie is (just like before) pretty average in this department. The story isn't anything special (even compared to just horror), but wasn't at all bad in my eyes and is easily passable and watchable.

The cast of characters was absolutely fine in this movie and like the story is simply average. God, so far everything is average in this movie. The lead character was simply fine and so was the rest of the cast. Not a single character was poor but neither was anyone great. Everyone was easily passable but didn't deliver anything memorable.

The horror in this movie was pretty poor. Now i can understand (to an extent) that the mental health side of this may have hit with people and caused a type of fear or unsettling nature to be taken away from this movie. I can also point out one or two jumpscares which i didn't really expect, but i felt they were nothing special. Overall the horror in this movie (in my eyes) was simply lacking. It wasn't terrible but the costumed Wolf who looked goofy at times and the (at times) awkward hallucinations made this movies horror fall flat most of the time. For anyone wanting more than an average cast and story look elsewhere as the horror in this is mediocre at best. Horror is definitely not this movies strong point.

Story - 5/10

Cast - 5.5/10

Horror - 2.5/10

Portrayal of Leads Health - 4.5/10

Overall a pretty watchable movie with nothing special about it, 4/10.

Saw this at Overlook and really, really loved it. Perhaps not your "usual" horror, I'd think of it more as a character study with horror elements being used to tell a story about mental health. Absolutely heartfelt performances and stunning visuals. Raw, connected -- but also, surprisingly, funny. Def see it.

I'm not usually a horror/thriller fan, but i do better with psychological stuff for sure and this was a good watch for me! Definitely some horror/gore/"body stuff" that made me squirm without completely losing me. What i found most compelling were the parental relationships and how those played out in will (main character)'s life - and for bonus points, there were a few AH HAH moments that got me in just the right spot. Recommend!!

First of all the main character was annoying. And the movie also forces such a "woke" idea. This movie had so much potential to be good. I could've sat there and watched it instead of being on here while the rest of the movie is playing in the corner. It's cringy and insufferable but at least the plot was interesting.
