Viewing Notes

via Netflix

I don’t even know where to begin with this. On one hand it feels like it’s a brilliant idea, and the other it feels like a too drawn out look into someone with some serious mental issues. In the end you have no idea really if it’s one or the other. I don’t mind that, but it did kind of drift around for awhile and had me checking a few times to see how much was left. If you’re looking for a straight up horror flick as Netflix kind of billed this in the description, it’s not. A bit of a psychological horror with lots of broken people to focus on, now that it is.
