The directional debut of Mimi Cave. Because of this, the movie does have some unique and interesting takes that are, dare I say it, Fresh. The film does give me very 2022 vibes, of course. The evil white man, women can overcome any obstacles (girl power), and the evil 1%. I felt the movie was heavily influenced by Patrick Bateman from American Psycho as the main man showed jubilance in doing morbid things as well as have an affinity for dancing to some kind of poppy 80's music while doing the most grotesque of things in the film. While mixing the digital sheen and manipulation of women beyond repair with a hint of new age vibrancy from Netflix's "The Perfection".
If you find films of the new that portray the over the top, unstoppable, quirky, yet soft serial killer with a glaring weakness as a glimmer of hope, you will like this film most likely. The acting and cinematography is pretty good and it was nice to look at, though some scenes did seem very boring at certain angles. This movie is by no means a masterpiece or a must-see film of its genre. You can live without seeing it, but its a good watch if you know what you're about to get into. It kept my attention, it didn't make me want to turn it off, but it didn't make me feel at the edge of my seat as well when I could see most of these developments coming from a mile away. The cheeseball music references of what was happening in the movie did seem to turn me off the most, but I'm a big music head and I feel it won't affect anyone.
All in all, solid, forgettable, and easily passable if this is not your type of genre. 6/10.
