Would watch 1000 times

Rating: 9/10 (12 January 2018)

I'm usually not a fan of thrillers/horror movies, but this blew my mind. The psychological aspect was phenomenal, and the whole film in general was executed beautifully. The subtle easter eggs in the beginning created foreshadowing no one could possibly expect, which made the 'woahh' moment at the end even more magical. I also really appreciated how they hid the violence for the most part in the shots, so I didn't have to break away and could stay transfixed on the film. Every aspect of this movie engaged and captured me and I don't know many movies that do that for me. When watching the alternative ending, I thought it was for sure more realistic, but I ended up preferring the ended the makers went with. I appreciated the brutal honesty when Chris ends up in prison, but the og ending where his best friend saves him gave me such good closure to the whole roller coaster of a film. I liked the happy ending mainly because I could be at rest while still being able to frantically talk about how the other 2/3s of the movie was messed. All in all, amazing film.
