undertone

I wanted to walk out of the theater at least once. I completely understand why this movie won’t work for everyone, and I can even understand why some people simply didn’t like it. But for me, it was a genuinely horrible experience in the best and worst possible way (it felt like reliving personal trauma in the most brutal manner imaginable.) And I think that’s what cinema, especially horror, is supposed to do. Drive the needle into nerves we thought had already been ripped out. Fear is a universal emotion, and this film managed to provoke it in me in the most feral way possible, to the point where I felt like the terrified ten year old girl I once was again.
