Loved it . Wasn't bored . Hit every mark so well. I enjoyed how spooky it starts before it s get crazy then so clever.r. Totally engaging, so go in blind like I did. I had a great time. Amy Madigan is fearless & an amazing actor. All the right actors in all the right roles here. I was such a fan of Barbarians yet it's no longer on Netflix. Weird. Hope it goes to Tubi. Watch this Twice,! I enjoyed those deep dives into all the missed details that I didn't catch. Also info about & from the director is useful and interesting. This film is kinda witchy but doesn't have to be too detailed. It's done well it gets segments and I cannot recommend this film enough Right in time for Halloween and it's not too gross or too sexual. You can find out all the influences the filmskers used and it's got the same weight as the Shining. This movie will be analyzed to death but if prefer to just enjoy it purely for it's fun storytelling, it's the film you won't forget. I should say there's a few really blunt images that may be a comment on how common school shootings in America have become that they barely even get media attention from the cable news unless there are over 5 dead. And even that would be for a day. They had a mass shooting in Vegas a few years back where the guy killed 60 people or something and they have never mentioned it again. Loved the ending has some real dark humor at a time when the absolute worse images follow! Kids am I right?
Wow liked this one!
Its too bad movies assembled this well, with a simple yet terrifying story to tell, are so rare. It didn't need gore to utterderly be one of the most disturbing stories on film this year.. Only because of how EASY & POSSIBLE it ALL is. And how easy it is for people we think we know to suddenly and casually have us at their mercy. I think the less you know the better because the movie unfolds intself very well. The acting was pretty seemless as such normal natural folks everyone was playing. Post office dead letter dept. And a kinda early hacker who hears some stuff. Of course the 3 main men: Joshua, Jasper & Trent were played well Again the banality of evil...is the creepiest thing about a partnership that could have survived and been quite fruitful-- if Trent wasn't such a headcase psychopath who wanted to control Joshua by pretending it was a genuine equal team. Was this suppressed homosexual attractive. Poor Josha going down those steps we already knew by then there would be a body count to keep him from going to his dream job. I loved the pace. Not rushed but not slow and boring because we dont know how far people will go to cover up what their other cover-up forced them to engage in. Worth watching for fans of good suspence.

Wow I had this on my list for ages since I have Shudder included in my package. That means I've seen the first 15 min of SO many 'trips to the country gone wrong-- mostly in Ireland; till I cannot distinguish but 2 that are good. Good 3 out of 20 so of course things like this are a nice change. This film feels like un unfinished Cronenberg job from the 90s. Its basically an awkward film about the women that get lost & killed in the world . And Blood Legacy crap.
First the acting in this goes from ok to just abysmal. Same with dialogue, just all vague then sounds possibly decypherable but then we are again flung out to the outer edges of movie logic. After 95 minutes I was bored & ready to quit but it appeared something about these transformative females ( and a few men) were about to be explained in some form of storytelling thats just really vague. But NO, it goes into some mild body horror repetition of the opening which came across as lazy and pretentious. American Horror Story HOTEL did stuff better. Exhausting to stay involved. Why do directors think this makes sense in a horror--(which also had the word comedy attached)? No funny stuff here. Not scary, not interesting. I will admit there's always defenders of this stuff. Just know that they like being confused and bored.
