I thought the ending was the best part. Most of the movie didn't really make sense even if you suspend disbelief about the science part but it was fun to see.

I noticed a lot of details that pointed back to the director's previous movie Revenge.

Overall I really enjoyed this movie, but yeah it felt like the director had no idea how to stick the landing. The last chapter kind of reminded me of Love Lies Bleeding, where the chick turns into a giant -- you're not supposed to take it so literally or something.

Although Margaret Qualley used prosthetic tits, I think for the leering close-up rear views of her they used a stunt butt. She looked way too good from behind.

Trivia: Ray Liotta was originally signed to Dennis Quaid's role, but he died soon after signing up. Liotta would have been great as well !

Yeah the prosthetics on her are really good. I've seen a lot of pictures of her on Twitter recently and she is like a bean pole. They did amazing work on her to make her look that hot

It’s definitely one of if not the most disturbing movies I’ve ever seen.


Wtf did I just watch

I’m a fan of the ending. It was just as ridiculous as the rest of the movie. A lot of buzz around Demi getting award recognition for Best Actress. Would love to be in charge of putting that montage together.

I felt the movie going on too long was an artistic choice in itself The Kubrick and Lynch Influences. Loved it.

He would have been better. He's creepier. When he's not even trying to be.

Just watched this for the first time. Definitely a conversation piece.

I have to say I enjoyed it. The part where she can't leave her house to go on a date with her homely friend was heart breaking, while at the same time you know she didn't give him the time of day when she was younger/hotter.

I was laughing at the end. It was a Carrie scene. There was also The Fly, The Shining, Citizen Kane, and others...

I really liked it, I just didn't care for the last 15 minutes of the film. It just got really dumb.

I liked it a lot. One of the best things I’ve seen in a while. One refreshing thing - you could tell there were a lot of deliberate choices with the sets, costumes, etc that all played together. Too many movies now look like absolute arse, like they just shot shite without thinking.
