    Can we have another Hereditary style Kermode vs Collin showdown? That debate was immense and would love to see how they lock horns over this film!

    Was really thrown by the song choice for the ending of this movie.
    It was also fully featured in that pivotal scene in A Field in England.
    I think it’s called Black Mass by Chernobyl.

    This was a smart play on video nasty and the mind's ability to edit out / censor content - with an over the top ending making exactly this point for both its protagonist and the viewers. Love this meta shit!

    just worth mentioning that i think it's pretty cool how much detail robbie is prepared to give to justify his angle on this. if it were my film, i'd certainly feel better about that being the case.

    This was one of the most "knowing" films I've ever watched. It felt like it was written by very intelligent video nasty fiends who were addressing the issue in a very even handed ( conciliatory?) way.
    Also, I'd love to know if Michael Smilie "accidentally " slipped into a Mark Cousins impression. Fear is in the soul. Mr Reviewer man

    Just finish watching Beau is Afraid -- A film criticized by some viewers for being longer than it should (almost 3 hours), before watching this film. Yet despite this one only having not even half of Beau is Afraid's runtime, it felt much more empty.

    Well worth a watch, and a great calling card for the director, but a wee bit over hyped. Will look forward to her next feature. It constantly threatened to up the ante but never really reached the levels of say Ben Wheatley's "Kill List" which its atmosphere reminded me of sometimes.
