Wow, great movie!!!
excellent
This movie is a legend for a reason! If you go in with no knowledge of what's coming, you're in for quite the ride! It becomes almost unbearably brutal; and has a hell of a downer ending, but it's lived rent-free in my brain since I first watched it years ago!
Super gory but is essential for the story. The twists and turns of the story kept me engaged and the ending really made it an amazing movie
unique story and beautifully made
