It's an odd movie to be sure, both creepy and sweet at times, and it's certainly fun to watch.

simply doesn't make enough logical sense to justify its third act histrionics

Full of absurd visual humor and an ending that made me jump out of my seat even though I could see it coming a mile away.

What works beautifully are all the moments of black comedy that give flavor, but don't necessarily build upon the film's themes.

Rated: C+

OK, ish. Had potential but seemed to drift in the middle. Tension isn't maintained very well. Ending is interesting though. Decent performances all round. Cast includes Christoph Waltz, of Inglourious Bastards fame, in a minor role.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

This is a bizarre movie, and it's hard to figure out the point of it. With that said, you should watch it. It's good.
