Has there ever been a more terrible movie?

I imagine there’s been worse films made that involve a girl and a horse.

They would still leave you scratching your head less than this movie

I think it could have been a very good movie till it wasn’t

I have five words for you.
Allison. Brie. Full. Frontal. Nudity.
I rest my case.

This movie thought it was so clever, but it was trash

Just finished this. WTF happened. Waste of 1:45. It had so much potential but wrapped nothing up, completely pointless.

Exactly, the fact it started out decent made the end that much more terrible

WTF?
I tried watching it but couldn't.

Horse Girl is not your standard mental illness movie. And it's not your standard alien abduction movie. It might be both or neither of those, and therein lies what makes it special.

The Duplass Brothers were the producers. They also produced Safety Not Guaranteed. That was another "is this person a nut case?" movie. SNG was a way more fun movie but they both ended in the same (IMO) disappointing way. I think they could have been far more clever and subtle about the endings.

LOCKE with Tom Hardy was pretty bad.

I watched this yesterday.
I have a relative with bipolar disorder so I was interested in seeing how they portrayed mental illness.
I think in general they did a really good job on that front.
And Allison Brie delivered a fantastic performance.
And she has fantastic cans.
As for the plot, I think like others have said, the writer and director tried to be too clever. They are not half as creative as they think they are.
There were too many unanswered questions, which I know is the point of their "style", but it left you with not nearly enough solid plot to settle on.
There were two things that make me think it actually WAS some sort of alien abduction thing though.
1. The scratches on the wall and car. They looked too wide apart and big to be made by her. And if she had done that much damage to the wall, there would have been plaster under her nails, and/or broken nails. The damage to the car roof would be even harder to do by human nails/hands.
2. In the opening scene Molly Shannon's character looks out the front of the store and catches a glimpse of the back end of a horse walking out of frame. At the end when Allison walks the horse, they repeat the scene. In both scenes the cars in the background are identical. So some sort of time travel/loop seems to be what's happening.
But, it's still a sloppy attempt at an interesting concept.
If you want to see that level of "trippy" story telling done right, watch Legion. The visuals alone make it worth it. But the plot and the way it's told are a mind frick that slowly unrolls and weaves in to a plot that your brain can finally follow.
You just have to be patient and tell yourself it's ok if you don't know what the frick is going on for a while.

These are the exact two things that piss me off about the ending. Other big thing is the random plumber guy and how he tied in. It needed just a minute scene to wrap something up, even if they wanted to be vague it could have been her after getting lifted up by the UFO then waking up in her bed in the suit or in the mental hospital again.

I like the weirdness and not knowing wtf was really going on. Was she nuts? Was it what she thought? Did it really end the way it portrayed?
It was a fun weird film. Can’t take it too serious.

I might be misremembering but I like how it ended. I mean he did build a time machine, right?
I get tired of all this ambiguity in movie endings. It's kinda lazy minded.
That's one of the reasons I like movies like Hereditary. They have definitive endings that just make sense. A solid ending makes a movie.

I thought this movie was great even if it was discombobulated at the end.
(SPOILERS)
Whole point was to show the progression of schizophrenia and how the healthcare system is woefully ill-equipped to take care of mentally ill patients. The doctor even admitted that she should stay in longer but for first-time patients, it's hard to keep them in. So he highly recommended she go to that appointment. Problem was: she was so far gone at that point, and there was no hope she was going to settle in and be safe until the appointment date.
This was a girl whose 1) family had a history of mental illness; 2) grandmother died as a crazy homeless woman; 3) mother committed suicide due to depression when the main character was a teenager and the main character found her dead body; 4) who witnessed her best friend have severe brain damage after a fall from a horse.
The ending was really weird and hard to keep up with, but it was because the whole movie was from the main character's perspective. She was crazy and we got to see it from her perspective. I liked the change from being outside her mind and having everyone else confirm that she's crazy.
Also, the horse at the beginning (IMO) was to symbolize that the mental illness was always with her. It just hadn't manifested yet. She seemed to be in her mid-20s, which is a common age for schizophrenia to start showing its ugly head.
