This movie is NIGHTMARE FUEL. ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE FUEL. I just finished seeing it and my God that is a well done movie, but again be prepared for some crazy dreams because of that film. I could not stop watching even when I knew it was going to be stuff that made me squirm. Some of it was funny, but Hoo boy that was quite the two hours. Just a wild movie dealing with how beauty is perceived in our culture. I would call it a must watch film.

Hot chicks+body horror = wheelhouse.

Well you will get plenty of both. Demi Moore deserves a best actress nomination for her performance. Just a wild movie.

I want to watch this but probably will not watch this.

Go and watch it. Again nightmare fuel, but too good of a movie to not see.

This movie was absolutely fantastic. People left during the final scene which made it even better for me. Mini Andie MacDowell is smoking fucking hot.

I fucking hated this movie. I couldn’t wait for it to end. Grotesque and over the top don’t begin to describe it. 

But yes, Margaret Qualley is ridiculously hot.

It's sensationalist, over the top body horror what did you expect from it lol?

Yeah, this genre ain’t my thing. My wife picked it. I had no idea what it was about. Saw no trailers, nada. All I knew about it was Andie Mcdowell’s daughter was in it, and well… that was good enough for me.

I can respect that opinion. This is way outside of my normal movie range. Not every movie is for everyone and there’s plenty I make no connection with. I think it is just how shocking the movie might be why I enjoyed it so much. I would appreciate more outside the box thinking from writers and directors like this across all genres.

Just go and see it on the big screen. Even if you go by yourself it’s worth it to do it for this one.

I go see movies by myself all the time. That'll probably be the case with this one - can't imagine my husband will be up for it. 

What level of gross are we talking here? Infinity Pool? The Fly? Terrorizer 2?

Well I wanted to see this for the chicks but after reading this thread I'm almost certainly out. 

There is lots of naked Demi Moore and naked Margaret Qualley, although I don't know how much of each is real and how much is prosthetics/CGI.

You could always bail after the first half of the flick. I wish I had.
