“It seems a little underrated, honestly. I would say it probably should have had a description that even sort of touched on how potentially triggering to a select kind of audience it would be potentially problematic for, but I get the feeling that was kind of the point. The description was vague, there isnu0026#39;t a lot of context given unless you watch it. If you have the hyper vigilance like I do, it will all make sense along the way. There are details super small for support which is actually brilliant. So many tiny clues, though if you miss them? Youu0026#39;re not lost without them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI knew what the end would be to some degree, which is almost always the case with movies/shows, though still found myself a bit off at the point. I knew it was coming, fully expected the outcome, and yet it still felt like I needed to make sure I was right. That should be skipped by a larger, though still not huge, group of people who might be triggered by it. With good reason, I might add. Think serious mental health issues, without giving the whole thing away. If this is a sensitive subject for you? Please skip the movie. Though there is something to be said about the portion that speaks to bringing awareness and the idea that shame forces a masking behavior. Itu0026#39;s deeper than it comes across.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s definitely not rated according to the brain of someone that appreciates the layers of the story more than the budget. And frankly? It probably wouldnu0026#39;t have been so worth the watch with a higher budget. If you can bring yourself to watch it, youu0026#39;ll understand why. Thatu0026#39;s not to say movies with a similar plot line havenu0026#39;t been made, as with almost every other movie you will see. Obviously the horror concept relates to a very real occurrence in mental health which a million other movies could touch on as well. The likelihood of understanding the mental illness exists, has been part of true crime stories with a different plot line, and even possibly knowing someone who has the symptoms in real life? Thatu0026#39;s the horror aspect. Thatu0026#39;s the root. Which is kind of a brilliant way to label horror as an avid horror movie watcher. Itu0026#39;s a different take than a slasher or paranormal thriller. I would recommend for my reasons, but again? Not for all.”
