Feeling like complete garbage now. Shoulda appreciated Happy Gilmore when I had the chance. Not sure if I could conjure up a more love-it-or-hate-it ending if I tried.

Un concepto interesante que lamentablemente sufre de un guión que quiere abarcar tantas situaciones que termina tomando un rumbo aburrido y con poca coherencia.
Y el final... mejor no hablemos del final.

Chronic is a horror movie. It may not be marketed as one but the reality of what occurs to these sick patients is scarier than a masked killer with a knife.
The movie even ends with a surprise jump scare.
Favorite scene: the ending
Worst scene: Old lady pooping her pants.

The first 90 minutes could easily be Michel Franco's masterpiece. Then that stupid ending came to fuck up everything.
