Never heard of it but looks like I should try it

That is pretty much how I felt about the trailer. Interesting that watching the actual film doesn't make it make any more sense :lol:

No clue what to make of this film. It's just wild and bizarre with scenes that play like absurd realism with a flavor of surreal horror and humor. The first section of the film is the best, the middle is creative but doesn't really pay off for the build up of the first 50 minutes as it switches gears and the third section as bizarre as it is (who could ever forget the penis monster) doesn't quite live up to its influences of David Lynch or Terry Gilliam or Luis Bunuel or even the knockout punch of Midsommar which is the best horror film of the last 25 years.

Still well worth a watch... it's Ari Aster, but it lacks a coherent story and plays out more like a loosely connected series of vignettes and bizarro situations.

Who else has seen this? Currently it's streaming on Amazon.

Grade: B+

Hated this moviel... a link to my review:

I thought it was a fun experience but it's definitely the kind of movie that is challenging you to a fight.
