Standout Aspects

Practical Effects

Grimy low-budget violence that feels alarmingly real.

Acting

Chris Mulkey's unhinged descent into vigilante chaos.

Best for:Solo: Nobody needs to witness you watching this.·Streaming: Find the sketchiest platform possible, it's part of the experience.
Heads up:Violence: Graphic sexual violence depicted, not just implied.·Disturbing: Relentlessly nihilistic worldview, zero catharsis guaranteed.
