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.

Stuckmann said do NOT order food if you are in a theater with that option. And not much gets to him.

I would not bring in any food. When you see some of that stuff it’ll make your stomach turn. That movie goes right off the rails, but it all fit together so perfectly.

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.

We just watched the trailer for Revenge last night and will definitely be watching it next weekend.

It's GREAT.  Wife even enjoyed it, and she hates graphic violence.  I sold it to her on it being a girl power movie lmao

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.

i want to see it but i feel like i'd have to trick my mate into going and then he'd flip out and i'd never hear the end of it 🤣 guess i'll wait for streaming. 

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.

This was fuuuuucked up but I would still recommend it. And I echo what others have said about not eating while watching.

If you've ever thought “I wish there was a movie that combined the Let’s Get Physical music video with Perfect and then overlaid everything with a heavy dose of The Fly”, this is your lucky day.

Spoiler

The Dennis Quaid eating scene at the beginning was possibly the grossest thing in a movie full of gross things.

Holy fucking shit what a theater experience lol. 

 

One guy left really early. 

The reaction of others around me walking out were all mine too... intense, bonkers, glad I saw it. 

Hope it sounds cool at home with a good speaker set up.  Theater sound was poppin.

What a cool role for Demi to do, her and Qualley were both great.

I was surprised at how much the sound contributed to the grossness.

Yeah was bad acid trip ASMR

 

Movie reminded me of a prolonged Tales from the Crypt episode, or a rated X Death Becomes Her. 

Quaid eating was Def the grossest part

That Quaid scene was so hard to watch. The sound alone. Just completely disgusting.

Saw this the other night. Didn’t know anything about it beforehand which is rare for me these days.

It was described as a horror movie which isn’t my favorite genre, but it felt more like a Black Mirror episode which I do love. If anyone is avoiding it because of the horror label, perhaps consider watching it.

Thought it was really well done and that final 20 minutes was intense.
