    After a rough start... I started buying what Leo and Marty were selling.

    It's a gorgeously shot movie. Felt immersive and interesting.

    Upsetting and intriguing throughout. Twisty at end in ways I didn't mind and felt were earned.

    ★★½

    Everything that happens when the Brood is not around is boring and dumb.

    The Brood parts are interesting mostly because of the make up and costuming, Id LOVE to see some behind the scenes footage.

    Spoiler:


    Props to Mom for really loving on that baby sac and her Brood baby. She committed to the moment...

    Pure weird Japanese noir madness. An experimental plot, combined with it famously being edited in like one day cuz the studio didn't like the movie and you get an uneven story. That said, has some of the most creative and wild filmmaking of the era. Will our hero survive and become the number one killer?

    Learned about this via Criterion and an interview with Guillermo Del Toro, as it is one of his faves.
    Dark, crazy and twisted. Great setting, acting, and moodiness. Surgeon playing God makes terrible choices.
    The daughter must decide what she is willing to tolerate for her own supposed salvation.
