Sometimes there's real value in wandering around on

Sometimes there's real value in wandering around on Netflix because, had I not, I wouldn't have known about this movie. That's not to say it's the greatest thing I've ever seen (because it's so not), but it was interesting. So you've got three separate but related by theme stories here, and the one kicks off with a bang. Be prepared for some bloody stuff because, yep, it's there ... and in a pretty messed up way. Hint: If you've seen Antichrist, you'll be prepared. If you haven't, just brace yourself. It ain't pretty. The second story came across as dull and predictable for me personally; knew the ending before it happened, but that's okay as long as the story along the way is interesting. It wasn't. I kept thinking - big deal, another suburbanite freak comes out of the woodwork. Tell me something I don't already know. The third story was probably the best because it focused on a story that, as it unfolds and comes to closure, is both disturbing and very sad. Consider this movie a series of pictures that illustrate how messed up society is, because that's really what this is. A study in repression - how it messes with the human mind and emotions, and the toll it takes on everyone impacted. Definitely worth watching if you're into that sort of thing.

The symbolism in this movie is amazing, but

The symbolism in this movie is amazing, but it is certainly not for the faint of heart. All three at masterpieces that show what metaphorically happens to people who quit living, and submit to just accepting their unhappiness.

This movie was utterly disturbing. I didn't know

This movie was utterly disturbing. I didn't know the person well who recommended it and he didn't explain anything about the movie. He just said I should watch it after I mentioned how much I liked horror. He gave me no warning. So much winning and so much questioning of his sanity.
