Best for:Solo: Irony-soaked midnight viewing with wine and regret.·Background: Perfect for folding laundry you'll never remember.
Heads up:Sexual Content: Uncomfortable therapist-patient power dynamics played as erotic.·Violence: Sudden late-film bloodshed feels tacked-on for genre credibility.

Trivia
