well ok then
A litmus test for overall base intelligence of viewers. In the concepts of low brow film and high brow film I’d say this is mid-high. Straightforward unique concept executed very well. Definitely worth a watch.
An allegorical, darkly comical horror movie somewhere in the same ballpark as Parasite. This will not appeal very much to the crowd that thinks horror means "person get hurt good," but if you like an experimental movie with a message, you'll enjoy. And it still has enough shock value to keep things fun (horrifying). I'd add another half-skull if Shudder allowed.
If you dont understand this movie, you dont understand the cost of convenience and happiness. An excellent critique of late stage capitalism and the difficulty of making ethical decisions in a capitalistic society. Almost nothing we consume or buy doesnt involve suffering at some point, low prices come from blood and tears, same with fast fashion and so many other things. If you didn't get it, you live way too comfortable of a life.
Started off like a Japanese version of The Visit and then immedietley falls apart when the "reveal" happens. I understand that not everything needs to be explained in a horror movie, but nothing was really explained at all. The message it's trying to convey is poorly executed. It's definitely a style over substance movie. Also, whose idea was it to have the protagonist just run around and accomplish nothing for the last half hour? Lame.
