Maybe it’s because I watched this movie post-“this is the most disturbing film ever” hype/chatter, but this movie was honestly so lame and boring, also super annoying with the 1990’s cartoon “bzzzt” static to imitate VHS film every transition.

The “shock” factor this film constantly tries to hit you with is very low budget and completely lost on a lead “actor” who hams it up like a high school play. Despite this guy doing “horrendous” things, it never feels authentic because it’s like it’s being done by an actor who prepared for this movie by watching Tom and Jerry.

This movie goes super edgy with including children, yet something that should be the penultimate disturbing concept, again, feels so cartoonishly fake with the dialog that it’s almost like it was written BY a child.

I’m not an edgelord who likes extreme content, honestly I avoided this film for years because of its reputation, thinking I couldn’t handle something deemed SO “disturbing.” But it’s not, it’s more akin to a high schoolers film project than a scary movie.
