This movie has haunted me since I have seen it. It took me years to figure out what was happening to the character, but the director Eric said what was the point of this movie is that in society we are letting people run us to the ground and were not doing anything about it. So the character Laura was already dead inside, but she pictured herself rotting from the inside out. SPOILER ALERT: At the end she killed herself and she started melting away, the infamous melting scene. But this movie is very interesting, but not for everyone.
