MESSED UP AND A BIT OF A LET DOWN!
26 March 2022
This is technically well-made movie. It's a slow burn and pretty good at that. It builds up curiosity and its murders pretty well one can enjoy it and be curious to see what comes next. Until it gets lackluster and gross.

This is coming from someone who watches tons of horror and gore. That wasn't the problem. The gore is one of the movies best qualities.

However the climax and the whole 3rd act isn't all that interesting and becomes a big bloody fest...... just not an enjoyable one. It is a slasher and a sexy one or so it thinks.... It turns out a bit flat in its sexiness but I guess it was good to see a proper no holds barred attempt at inhibited sex scenes that felt raw and untamed, to see some unabashed nudity and then to see all of it get chopped off!!!

Its a misguided one.. a misguided attempt to make a tribute to slasher films and also to explore the relationship between sex and violence...the end result isn't all that satisfying.
