I struggled mightily with this movie. Everything about it is meant to be unpleasant and grating, which by itself is not necessarily a negative. But the plot is incredibly obtuse, and while I do think you can mine meaning from it, I also think it's just weird for the sake of being weird. I struggle with these surreal vibes movies that tend to be more abstract, and it was no different with this one. The movie doesn't present a clear, intentional message. I found the actual surface level plot to be laughable, with characters making crazy decisions every minute, including an insane ending. Honestly, I would argue it is almost incoherent, a lot of noise and violent imagery with very little substance to it. The movie equivalent of nails scratching alongside chalk. I understand there is an audience for these types of movies, and if this type of surreal horror that is driven mostly by style and vibes appeals to you, then it might be right up your alley. For me, it elicited a strong negative reaction.
