About
If you enjoy bizarre, boundary-pushing horror-comedy with a heavy dose of discomfort and dark humor, this could hit like a twisted character study; Not for you if you hate gore, sexual shock, or abrasive leads—think Dead Ringers vibes.
Pros: darkly funny tone; bold, unsettling ideas; strong lead performance | Cons: very gross content; uneven pacing; hard to empathize
