About
You may like this if you want a provocative, nasty thriller about voyeurism and human ugliness with a lurid edge, somewhat in the lane of Mon Mon Mon Monsters or Detention; Not for you if you dislike explicit, disturbing material.
Pros: bold premise; tense curiosity factor; dark, unsettling mood | Cons: graphic sexual content; messy storytelling; very tasteless humor
