first 5 minutes was thinking 'ok,sexy Lovecraft-ian shenanigans, I'm on board,let's see where this goes'. unfortunately the answer was nowhere, very slowly. seems more astute viewers have enjoyed the take on the morays of sexual desire,i can't imbibe this film with the same distinction as the creature,even if it is symbolic, exists in the films reality & should therefore have been awarded some backstory,development, & screentime! instead it appeared rarely & briefly, with no explanation for it's existence whatsoever. the design & execution deserved more respect,I'm more than happy to put the work in for a good head-scratcher,but give me something to work with🤨
Came for the tentacle monster, stayed for the drama
Very good, builds the tension slowly and doesn't get bogged down in exposition.
This movie rules. It's weird, sexy, and unpredictable.
Interesting and engrossing
