My God! Not the ending I expected at all nor the sort I film I’d expect from Demi Moore.

If you’re a practical effects/80s horror fan: you won’t be disappointed.

I think this goes straight in at number 1 as the weirdest film I've seen.

Mental would be an appropriate description

Yea saw this the other week, excellent - it could almost be called 'The Stuff.' You will enjoy it if you like Re-animator, From Beyond, David Cronenbergy things, Videodrome, Society etc.

The final act of the film I genuinely didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Saw it in the cinema a few weeks ago, absolutely loved it. The casting was perfect with Demi as the aging star and Margaret Qualley as the impossibly perfect other. The cinematography and overall production was brilliant too, the whole film is like a bizarre fever dream that really sells the isolation of Moore's character in her luxury Beverly Hills condo.

Making of.

All hail practical effects, prosthetics, barrels of fake blood and the director getting properly stuck in.
