Everything and the kitchen sink: the movie. People on LSD for no reason, a foster care story, an overbearing mother who wants the love of her child, and on and on. None of these things ever go anywhere. I wish the people that made this had honed in on one or even two of those ideas and fully fleshed them out. That said, this movie does have a creepy aesthetic, if only it had better writing.

MaXXXine 2024
+ An ode to giallo that will go over the heads of people that aren't well versed in that genre. There's a lot of little references to the genre, including a clip of The Great Alligator that is played on a TV during a scene. That film was a non-giallo movie made by a master of giallo, Sergio Martino.
+ Black glove killer.
+ All the kills are soaked in blood, rather than gore (outside of one gruesome scene). This…Translated from by -
Woods Are Wet 1973
+ I went into this totally blind and found it to be a lot like Salo only for the credits to tell me that this film was in fact an adaptation of another Marquis de Sade story, Justine.
+ Not as disturbing as Salo, but pretty close. Lots of kinky sexual violence and cultural discussion points.
+ I was impressed by how darkly lit this film was. It gave me the impression of a gothic horror movie.
+ Very creepy in parts.
