“it really didn’t go as bad as it could have”
“a girl is dead, zack”
“i didn’t say it went perfectly”
‘go’ is something i added on my watchlist, and after like 20 minutes of rummaging through my watchlist, i kinda thought this was the best one - because at the time it was like 2am, and this just looks like a midnight movie from the cover alone. i definitely wasn’t wrong, this is a surreal/bizarre film you probably couldn’t enjoy if you weren’t watching at the right time. it was honestly unpredictable, but in like the best way possible? there’s lots of movies from the late 90s that are obviously influenced by pulp fiction with different sets of characters being put in different scenarios for certain sections of film, kinda like an anthology expect they’re all interlinked together. out of all those films, this one’s easily the best - mainly because it’s completely different to pulp fiction, while yes the structure is the same, it feels a lot more absurd and comical. i didn’t realise that this was a christmas film on first glance - but once i realised, i didn’t bother turning it off, i probably should’ve watched it at christmas, and maybe i will in december: but considering it’s a great film that feels super gregg araki coded, glad i watched it, and could possibly be my favourite christmas movie i’ve ever watched, which isn’t that hard as over 90% of christmas films are genuinely terrible, one of my only christmas movies i actually like being black christmas (the original, not the remake) because that’s amazing. i feel like this might be a shorter log, as i kinda just feel this film speaks for itself. the main reason this film succeeds so well is that is just doesn’t take itself seriously whatsoever - it’s just simply fun, and maybe that’s what every movie needs more of. it has sharp wit and super energetic portrayal of 90s rave culture, it explores 3 different characters experiences of the same night, as one bad move brings a consequence for everyone, showing actions affect everything. it’s got a super 90s soundtrack consisting of no doubt, and honestly music and film both peaked then for me. it’s campy, surreal, absurd, humorous: plus a high stakes crime all at once - which is a super fun combination tbh. i probably could’ve enjoyed it more, but it was super twisty and super enjoyable - and never boring.
