Review of Octagon

OCTAGON is good and bad in the ways that good creepypastas used to be. The visuals of this movie are jarring for sure, and I would argue that the effects and makeup are definitely effective. This is what makes the movie pretty uniquely scary, which I loved. A lot of the time, however, over the top and campy in its presentation. Too heavy on a lot of torture at times, and a MAJOR S*XUAL ASSAULT TRIGGER WARNING ON THIS MOVIE. The main achilleas heel of this movie is the inconsistent acting and writing, which ranges from laughably cheesy to intentionally strange and unsettling. Favorite short in the anthology is the Magician for sure, that was a trip

TLDR: Not great, definitely uniquely and interestingly scary. Worth watching, but understand its cheesy and overly intense.
