Nothing burger with nothing fries, but more importantly I'm perplexed and slightly mad about how Erupcja is being marketed, because it really isn't what it claims to be. Between the Pride Month release and an emphasis on the "sapphic" dynamic between Bethany and Nel, I was honestly astounded by how the film really isn't about that, or at least doesn't seem to want to be about that much - there's a "connection", but it never gets depicted as a romantic…
Nicely rotten. A fine film in itself, with Claire Foy and especially Richard E. Grant on top form, but I can't help but feel haunted by the great motion picture this could have been. Nonetheless, the mould and filth and vulgarity of it all are much appreciated - I'm very much here for films about spiteful old-timey aristocrats being catty towards one another, causing each other injuries, and hurling unusually creative and verbose insults and offensive remarks wherever and whenever…
There's a 30-minute stretch in the middle of this where I felt like I was being disemboweled.

People love to say "weird horror is back" (it never left) and then the "weird horror" that they're speaking about is a person who looks a little bit unusual.
I fear that the scene with Longlegs in the hardware store is what cashiers see when I, an autistic trans woman, goes into the corner shop to buy a tasty little treat. By no means do I think Perkins / Cage was being intentionally malicious here re: the characterisation of Longlegs…
