POSITIVES
This is a prequel origin story to one of the characters from the movie "X" by Ti West. If that's something you're really interested in, then you should go see this.
Mia Goth is absolutely phenomenally incredible in this and is easily the main; if not only, reason to watch this movie. It's her performance of a lifetime. She's amazing. She kills it even during the end credits.
Besides Mia Goth, the other memorable things that people will likely gravitate towards are certain stand-out scenes, like a particular dinner scene that gets out of control, a fantastic dance number, to a gripping monologue that absolutely gets your attention.
Of course some of you will want to see all that twisted, depraved, gross, bloody horror stuff. You get those too.
The film’s goals to shock and disturb you are one thing, but how it shows its appreciation by attempting to capture the look, feel, and sound of that vintage era is worthy of some kudos as well.
NEGATIVES
Kinda drags a bit at times, because it has this somewhat casual pacing to it, when it should consider picking things up more.
Could be more disturbing and scary. Really could have just used more horror.
It at the same time felt too indulgent, and not indulgent enough.
A warning to those who would care, but they show vintage porn in this movie. Oh, and there’s bloody gory violence too, if that needs to be mentioned.
That whole thing with the roast pig. Didn’t need to see that.
