I was watching this for about 30 minutes before I thought to myself... What is happening? Experiencing confusion during a movie isn't a death sentence. For example, Mother! (2017) had me confused the whole movie but still showed me something intriguing and offered something I've never seen. I was waiting for something to happen that would explain why the characters were so strange in behavior and had an inability to bond with each other, but it never happened. I became convinced that we would find out the four characters were software or computer programs coming together to take over the human race, with Steve Carrell being legacy software interfacing with new programs like Instagram, twitter, TikTok, etc. Then I thought we would find out they were actually AI themselves. They communicate with each other as if they are robots and they act strange and inhuman in their decisions. Unfortunately, there is no twist. At the end of the movie, you find out that they are just characters in a really simple story that are engaging in really verbose conversation, and you've wasted your time.

If I had this DVD, it would be exploring the bottom of my trash can. Watch it at home while you assemble IKEA furniture and see if it makes you want to kick your dog or drown a snake. I gave it two stars because... I guess Steve Carrell is cool.

I got to see an early screening and it was as expected, campy, gory with comedic elements. It was a good popcorn movie. Some people complained that it was stupid which I don't get because its a movie about unicorns... So of course its a bit dumb, that's the point.

I compare it to Cocaine Bear (2023) because they are both marketed to be a silly comedy with violence, but this was way better than Cocaine Bear. It's aiming to be a cult classic film but missed the mark a bit. Also, not that funny which was disappointing but it had some jump scares and gruesome deaths so I was still engaged the whole time.

Here's the deal, it's not a horror movie at all. It's listed as a psychological drama and that's exactly what it is. I think people will be disappointed if they're expecting a horror movie like I was. But to its credit, it's a creative and abstract way of giving us a story to piece together in our minds. Most of the movie is very subtle and some would describe it as uneventful or even boring...But the last 10-15 minutes were surprising and caught me off guard. Its super short at 84 minutes, not a huge time investment. I was wondering the whole time why they cast Lucy Liu in this film, but she really shows some acting in the last moments of the film and I was moved by her performance.

It might've been a better short film, video game, or Black Mirror episode but nonetheless a good watch.
