The cats ate the rats and the cats ate the girl, a minor odd gem that's a great little watch for what it is!

So I really had a fun time with this, the lead actor was very cute charming and sympathetic and it was just the kind of weird that I tend to go for, but it seemed a bit aimless and kind of unfinished by the end, I mean there was no real punch or payoff that I could see, Just a slow and very strange and still by the end of the movie burgeoning disintegration of a poor average schmoe's life who was only trying to make it in Hollywoodland doing a bit of a gross demeaning job and living in a s&&thole apartment with an unnerving rat infestation that his landlord was rather useless at fixing for him, and then his first date in a long time dies on him after a very strange night all because she happened to be...well, you know! I fail to see what exactly made this a horror movie, it felt like the story was heading that way and that the guy was kind of starting to lose it, but nobody was murdered and it didn't even have any blood in it, it was just about his problems and personal inadequacies and how his rat problem and love life brutally came crashing together to the poor odd girl's cost. I loved the very garbled old vhs-esc distortions that run throughput the movie, they really gave it a certain flair And added kick, I loved all that stuff, very cool. I don't know had a great little time just chilling out to this movie really and I liked it a lot for it's highly effective weird edgy ambiance and dark indie movie charm. Somewhat dark but not really a horror movie at all in my book, but very enjoyable for a certain kind of mindset nevertheless, definitely worth the time to watch if you like that slow descent into the whirlpool of modern alienation madness kind of movies, you've been warned though, it's a weird one! 🐈 🐀 💀 x.
