you get it 

 

i have not felt the same since i watched it a few days ago, and i’m not saying that in a cutesey 'ong hahaha it’s soooo crazy' like it genuinely made me so uncomfortable to the point i had to look away. it’s so intense, funny, disturbing but i think what got me was that it is really upsetting and JUST KEPT GOINGGGG

 

a masterpiece in modern horror

the only other movie i have had to look away from is the Saw X valentina scene (iykyk) but that was still nothing compared to the emotional turmoil of this beauty

I’m scared to watch this bc body horror/public humiliation is not something I can sit through  It literally makes me feel like I’m having a panic attack. I can handle jumpscares and love horror, but this specific niche fills me with dread.

honestly there are next to 0 actual scares it mainly revolves around the body horror and perceived beauty which does bring humiliation into it. it is a fantastic film but it might be alot considering you don’t like either and the film is HEAVYYY on it

Also

Spoiler

The way the chicken grease was done / shown on her hands & mouth - Idk something about all that made me sick to my stomach.

Really can’t wait to see it again!

 

[Embach 45,839]

I need to see it so bad but sadly it's not in theatres yet where I live  I love Demi and Margaret and I love good horror movies, the actress combination is already interesting and awesome!!!

[Trash Magic 28,482]

It was so good. Obviously it's super over the top but my fav scene was actually what I thought was the most human, when she's getting ready for the date but keeps going back to redo her makeup etc and getting progressively insecure and flustered until eventually standing the guy up. It was sooooooo sad.

[TrashMagiq 59,130]

I wanna see it so bad but it’s not showing ANYWHERE near me in belgium. Might have to drive over to the netherlands to go see it… (I mean it’s only like a 45 minute drive skk)

MONSTRO ELISASUE

[DCooper 37,226]

By far the best movie of the year for me 

[shadesofblue 17,305]

Actually loved this movie and the message it had. I don’t get grossed out by body horror so it wasn’t bad for me.
(to be fair I did not watch it in a theater mostly bc I get grossed out more by sounds so I’m sure it’s more intense in that setting) but it’s a lot if you’re sensitive to that type of horror. If anything, it was more strange and sad (also funny at times which I didn’t expect😭) than scary to me. 

 

Spoiler

It was a great movie more now than ever with beauty and aging standards in society. Tbh the eating scene in the beginning was the grossest part to me. Demi did an amazingggg job and so did Margaret they’re both so gorgeous. Didn’t know Margaret was a dancer but I was impressed. The pressure of aging for women especially is insane and it did a great job portraying those emotions and feelings. The scene of Demi Moore’s character getting ready for her date is so real  literally how it feels to put on makeup and do my hair

 
To be a woman is to perform 

Monstro slayed too

I can’t wait to watch this one after reading your comments!! It comes out at the end of the month here tho so I still have to wait some time 😭

[TrashMagiq 59,130]

This movie was crazy as fuck omg. I was expecting to like it because I've only seen positive things about it so far, but wow... We laughed, we screamed, we threw up, it's an instant classic.. I haven't had a movie genuinely make me uncomfortable in a long while. Give Demi Moore that oscar.
