Viewing Notes

This movie is a trip. Thought it was one thing but turns into something else and then it gets bananas… a bit too much to its detriment making me like the movie less and less as it goes on.

I do really like the Hitchcockian twisty-ness of its first act and was hoping it could maintain that level throughout. But like most things it was too good to be true and goes into some batshit mental gymnastics of a plotline that is a lot to endure. Still quite watchable and well made Netflix Original. Has some great sequences and a jump scare that got me.
