    a ripped abercrombie & fitch tank top fetishist discovers Saw and wants to reenact it with a couple of despicable characters. more nasty than your filthiest pornhub nutbusting. equally free of braincells.

    how are you going to make the villain a ripped abercrombie & fitch model who suffered decades of violent child abuse and trauma, then ask me to root for his bullies? the one woman in this movie really gives the vibe that the writer/director got his heart broken by a girl…

    Two days ago chatting on Twitter via DM with a friend of mine he showed me the poster and synopsis of this movie, asking me if I knew about it and the truth is that until that moment I didn't know about it, but it was how transgressive it looked what made me decide to do it…

    Why did they make the killer so handsome? At first I got a little bored and didn't understand, but then it got good and it all made sense.♡

    If you wanna see a really messed up movie on a weekend night when you’re bored then this is great. But be warned, some parts are legit disturbing. For me it wasn’t the gore at all, but without giving too much away, the disturbing part I found, was what a certain child…

    I borrowed this from the library based pretty much entirely on the cover so I wasn’t expecting anything at all. I mean, I wasn’t even expecting there to be a character like the one on the cover, but it turns out that’s the actual killer in the movie so I can’t complain!…

    this is exactly what i get for watching movies based on the poster… it was horrible, the dialogue was so unrealistic and poorly written, it was a chore to sit through this especially with all the bug eating and child abuse, waste of time

    This is the only horror movie to genuinely horrify me. Probably because it revolves a lot around bugs, and that’s a touchy spot fm.I’ve never loved a villain as much as I love this one, the movie was overall amazing :) Tw child abuse, Intense gore, bugs (it’s bad. Really bad.)

    movie senza identità, non sa se essere un clone cinese di saw o una cacata mattutina di Cronenberg. inquadrature sbagliate e dialoghi scritti da mio cugino. ( mio cugino ha 7 anni).
