Yeah, probably should've expected something like this when I heard all the shouts of disturbing, horrifying, fucked up movie. But I was interested in how it would spin this gruesome depressing tale into a black comedy, and I was a letdown bigtime by the movie. Obviously a harrowing experience and it is as feel bad a movie can get that is mean af, but for a self proclaimed black comedy it doesn't have the humour it needed to make this compelling. The Hitchcockian structure is a good concept as well, but at the same time it just goes on for a little too long. Neither commits itself to be a comedy nor does it commit itself to be serious drama, and just doesn't have the edge I was expecting something from this movie. Not really as fucked up or edgy as people have made it out to be and ends up being quite tame and boring.
