    For what it is it’s very well crafted. Hugh Grant has got to be a real life psycho. He’s too charismatic. Do not trust him. Pretty vapid and empty when it’s all over.

    Great flick, has every trade mark of American 1970s cinema that I love. Meandering unpredictable story, raw tortured characters, ambiguous morality and god awful male / female relationships. For me this kind of movie is extremely inspiring and feels by the people for the people. Nice to see it in theaters

    This had a lot of style and would’ve made a really really good vimeo staff pick. Instead I paid $20 to watch a college level experimental short film drill my skull for 1.5 hours. If neon keeps this up they’ll lose the trust of the people. They can’t all be zingers.

    Harry Potty, the matrix, LOTR, Dune, Smile. That’s is the potential of Parker Finn’s horror trilogy. Ok maybe not really but wooooo that man knows how to deliver the goods. Action packed dread fest with believable characters and excellent performances. Not to mention how thoughtful he is with camera/transitions. Delightful and gruesome.
