It's very rare a movie makes me feel as uncomfortable as this one. Physically. I was cringeing, laughing, shouting. I can't really argue with some of the complaints I've read re: the lack of/complacency of the staff being bad enough to be considered a plothole, but the sheer viscerality of the film more than makes up for it imo. I was laughing out loud through a lot of it, too - either due to discomfort, the absurdity of a scene, or just bitter old Geoffrey Rush's constant grumpiness.
It was not the horror movie I was expecting. It's not even, really, the same GENRE I was expecting. But it was a hell of a ride.
