8/10
Enjoyable - if you like Van Trier or Guadagnino's Suspiria
28 June 2021
I don't agree with the low ratings of this movie at all. C'mon, there are many silly American comedies reviewed higher than this.

True, it's an art house horror, but I found it inventive and creative. The main female lead was realistic and strong, guys she must not always be the typical hot movie star. Ilana was real and authentic, she kind of made me think of female leads in Sofia Coppola movies.

Also, if you liked the new Suspiria, which was also a "bad movie" but still inventive and artistically stunning, you will like this.

It was bland at times, and obviously heavily inspired by Rosemary's Baby but who cares? It was an enjoyable watch, that will keep you interested.

Also it was beautifully shot.

The "strong imagery" that everyone is talking about, shouldn't be shocking to us, if we agree to see cut off limbs and dead bodies in every horror slasher.

Killings, and graphic sex is fine, but showing placenta's and a miscarriage isn't? That definitely should be normalized. Triggering, yes, but a lot of things are, especially in the horror genre.

This movie definitely didn't deserve all the low reviews.
