My gut reaction to this movie was that it was just really messed up, playing more in the disturbing realm than scary. Don't get me wrong, there are some intense scenes that do feel unpredictable and horrifying. But it's just so bleak. However, since I watched it, I often find myself returning to it. The movie is very effective at creating a visceral and lasting impact. Someone else I know mentioned it is an exploration of the domino effect that rash men can have, and viewing it from that lens, I feel like I appreciate it a lot more now.
