About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an unglamorous, grimly realistic serial-killer story with a filthy, oppressive vibe; Not for you if you’re sensitive to graphic violence, misery, or heavy alcoholism, like in The House That Jack Built.
Pros: brutally realistic mood; strong performances; immersive 70s setting | Cons: graphic and disgusting; bleak, relentless tone; can feel pointless
