One of the most interesting horror movies to come out in a decade and unfortunately, one of the most overlooked. This film has a lot of offer in terms of scares and tension and atmosphere building, alongside fairly interesting performances from the actors. I've been recommending it to all my friends over the past 6ish years and I'd appreciate it if someone finally took my recommendation. Happy viewing!

Absolute kicker of a film and one of the most inspired pieces of work within modern Indian cinema. While it excels in terms of the humour and simply raw, captivating energy of the narrative, it succeeds in creating an interesting commentary onto fame in all it's forms, where past films have ever so slightly fallen short. One of only the handful of films that have actually brought out some innate joy in me this wretched year.

any time i hear someone sing this film’s praises i physically roll my eyes because it’s been YEARS since i’ve had the unfortunate luck to come across a film so conceited and unwatchable. lynch’s films across the board generally make no sense, but here neither the cinematography or even the musical score were enough to distract from the lack of a coherent narrative. there is no saving grace for this film. the only robust element of the narrative - the duality of Dorothy’s character - is reduced to a vehicle for lynch to display his trademark themes of perversion & craft a lazy commentary on something or other. i’ve not had less fun watching a movie in a long time. at least even ‘the room’ is somewhat entertaining. i’d only recommend if you’re in the mood to punish yourself - otherwise i’d stay away and watch LITERALLY anything else.

possibly the worst thing present on Netflix, but a real good laugh. I'd like to think of it as an intentional 111 minutes of absurdity that was intended to mock the very foundation of cinema. no amount of religious allusions or fear of Armageddon could rationalise this fat mess. completely worth watching just for Nick Cage.
