This isn’t horror like scary ghost and slashers. It’s the horror of history and men.
The start of this was kind of boring I’m not going to lie because nothing really happened. But the last like 20% had my jaw on the floor multiple times and not because it’s necessarily shocking, but because it was so disturbing and anger inducing.
