    Fuck. This I think was the most exhilarating experience watching a film ever in my life. 

    I can’t even begin to describe this. It’s a wyrd-trippy-surreal-phantasmogoric-folk horror-romantic-dark humor-drama. 

    This is among the handful of greatest movies I’ve ever seen.

    I’ll don’t think I’ll view shit in the same way, ever.

    Magnificent!!

    p.s. I almost wish that everyone would see this at some point in their life. It is that stupendous. REQUIRED viewing.

    100/100.

    Where to start? I remember watching this for the first time at a special screening (Seattle International Film Fest). It was my first film of Lars Von Trier. And it left me shattered. I was sobbing uncontrollably at the end. This will always be my favorite film of all time. Same goes for Lars Von Trier (he literally has made 4 or 5 of the greatest films ever). This one is very, very special-just like Bess.

    100/100

    I thought this was good if not great. Sort of a Tarantino take on a serial killer/wild goose chase movie.

    This is classic horror right here.

    Mad God was made by a Mad Genius. It was sick, filthy, horrific, mushroom 🍄 induced psychedelia that was absolute perfection. This was MADE FOR ME. I can’t applaud Phil Tippett enough.

    Thank you.

    And fucking SHUDDER is killing everyone this year.

    99/100.

    I’ll admit, this isn’t perfect - but this movie was like an ode to Lovecraft and cosmic horror.

    I loved everything that was in the bathroom, and hated everything outside of the bathroom. So probably, I’d give it an 84/100. HAHA!!

    This had a very specific audience, and once again, that’s me.

    This was really fun. Sort of a cosmic horror-philosophical drama-serial killer horror-comedy (it was HILARIOUS).

    Now, if the director/cinematographer didn’t shoot the outside scenes like an after school special.
