This is like the horror movie version of 2001 A Space Odyssey. You will never have an experience like it !!


I don’t even know where to begin. I absolutely loved it for starters. It’s like a big fuck you to the beauty industry, especially with how characters act amongst one another. It’s shot in such an interesting way where it’s almost like a commercial. Everything happens in such quick sessions that the two and a half hour runtime sped on by. 

The gore, the body horror, the disturbing nature of the film though. Oh my god was it dialed to the extreme and it came out of left field. As the story progresses you know it’s eventually going to lead to something “bad”. Well that bad was fucking horrific, then, it gets even more horrific and it keeps going.

Demi Moore, this is one of if not her best role yet. She is phenomenal. Dennis Quad plays a corporate dickhead perfectly as well, including the cast who was great overall, but Demi is a horror icon after this one.

Absolutely go in as blind as possible, but trust me when I say, with how the film starts, you’ll never suspect it’ll go where it does. It is fucking insane !!!!
