    I may be one of the only people to rate this at 5 stars, but idc if it has haters….I'm still obsessed. Love the acting and there is something about the old style editing for commercial breaks that makes me feel safe.  I will say that the special effects in this can be a bit laughable (hedge lion, I’m talking to you). But I really get pulled into this world and I’m not ready to leave, even after 4 f*cking…

    I like the tension and atmosphere of this movie, but I found it hard to connect with the main character’s story.

    I got so invested in this movie and the mystery behind what was going on. How could they leave me hanging like that?

    What the actual F*ck did I just watch…..

    What a crazy movie. Absolutely love the cast. Love the acting. Also, is anyone talking about that apartment, so stunning…. I love the plot to this movie, and I will definitely be Rewatching it. I’m not usually a fan of body-horror gore but damn have I been waiting to see this.  And I was not disappointed. there are a few scenes that definitely aren’t for people with weak stomachs, the majority of the movie felt like a thriller drama to me and I like that about it. Possibly one of my new favs.

    First off I want to say I am obsessed with how this movie ended. Amazing acting and subtle soundtrack. Many will complain that not much happens or that the whole movie only takes place in one place. But I was thoroughly impressed and I totally understand the hype behind this movie.
