One of the most disturbing movies I have had the pleasure of watching

Rating: 8/10 (4 April 2015)

It would be appropriate to open up a review on this film by saying one thing about this film. It's that this film definitely has a.interesting concept behind it. This movie takes the modern day horror and flips it on its head. How does it do this? STDs.not kidding. Parents with teenage children, if you want to convince them not to have sex, feel free to show them this film. Because it is basically a huge metaphor of why STDs are terrifying.
Now all jokes aside, despite the strange concept, this movie had some PHENOMENAL execution. I did not feel anything less of creeped out and even grossed out throughout this entire film, which is exactly the type of feeling you're supposed to receive from a film such as this. I felt disturbed, anxious, tense, and many more emotions which were all exceptionally delivered from this film. It draws your attention with its interesting plot, and then keeps you watching with its many different ways of keep you on the edge of your seat. The biggest way they do this is by keeping you and the protagonist aware of the monster, but throws in a characteristic for the monster that keeps it hidden to the other characters. So I kept finding myself see it/or someone else with similar behavior to it in the background and kept saying to myself "OH S*** OH S*** OH S***!"
The atmosphere was incredible, there are is an appropriate number of jumpscares, and most of the scary moments are more of a reveal to something, or the constant tense moments that it keeps throwing at you. Normally, when I have a certain number of tense moments thrown in my face, I tend to be like "Oh OK I get it just stop." But for this movie, it actually works because you know that the monster is always following, and that it can come up at any time. It leaves you waiting and on the edge of your seat the entire time because you want to know where it is.
I only had a few problems trying to follow of a few things in this movie. There would be some moments where they would imply or hint at something happening, then make it seem later like that "thing" didn't happen. So you're left it your seat wondering "Wait, so did they back off last second, or did it actually happen? I'm confused!" But that could be my only serious problem that hurt my experience. Because there was no clearance to it.
In general though, this movie has some of the most phenomenal and well done execution of an original idea that I have seen in quite a long time. They never strayed or added or bull**** to the original concept, and made it work in a spectacular way. I would definitely watch this movie again if it were put in front of me. Final Review Score: 8/10
