I thought this would be queer horror but it was more of a cartoon-esque horror of errors based off the main characters god awful decisions


The main character was INSUFFERABLE. The whole plot could've gone very differently if she wasn't so caught up in her self-obsession. It didn't feel like a stunning psychological, dark, erotic thriller, so much as it felt like a bunch of bumbling self-serving idiots trying to enact a half cooked plan. All the interesting characters with real driving forces were lazily written and tossed aside to make more room for the bumbling idiots !!
