    Part horror, part comedy, part dramatic commentary on the nature of consciousness, it's not the most groundbreaking sci-fi think piece, but it doesn't need to be.

    Notable to me is that across the board, every actor turns in the best performance I've ever seen from them.

    Gracie Gillam is wonderful at playing unhinged, and Barbara Crampton is an American treasure, but the protagonist couple felt uninvested in the plot, which dragged the whole thing down.

    Please don't ask me to explain, but I can't stop picturing Quentin Tarantino going to watch this in a movie theater and saying, in a Tim Robinson-as-Bozo voice, "Oh fuck, I hope I don't jack off."
