  A paradox and a trip

  Within the first fifth of the film, the set, setting, and outlook takes a dramatic turn. What was horrible reality transforms into a Dali-esque Fantasia for adults. In this way it is as I've said, a trip. And you'll just have to enjoy it to understand why it is also a paradox. Wrapping your head around this movie will likely delight you.

  A lovingly twisted experience

  The director's love of the genre shines throughout. Reagan-era slasher horror pins the fornicating female as a whore, deserving of death. This movie turns that paradigm on its head, rotated, flexed, and transformed. Into what? I'm sure there's a transgender pov I'm not getting but identity appears to be part of the message (as it was in I Saw The TV Glow, director's first work). What I got was turning the 80s slashers on their heads, turning death into something more transforming and liberating, even. And so much of this film's cinematography was fresh and inventive as well. And I feel a bit dim not recognizing the killer's name as a double entendre, but laughed aloud when I got it. See it if you don't like horror movies but like unique takes on sex and gender. See it if you're tired of horror movies and want to spark your love of the genre anew. Just go see it, as it's really unique.
