I was entertained!

Rating: 8/10 (31 March 2020)

If you look at the larger picture, the overall plot is unrealistic: a guy leads his American friends to their ultimate demise, which is never going to happen because of the wider implications for him and his entire community. This is not a video game and police do not miraculously forget about a group of missing persons, making the basic premise of the film somewhat ridiculous.
But was I entertained, did I think about it afterwards and am I writing this brief review? Yes. And the more I think about it, it's almost horror genre gold. Gold in the sense of laughing out loud at a woman singing in a shrill voice while holding the hand of another female while literally getting ceremoniously fucked, but admittedly rolling my eyes and getting a bit bored by the end, but perhaps I'm just lucky at having watched junk TV on Netflix lately, which makes me appreciate the very slow pace and stupendous acting in this film while also understanding that it's not supposed to be serious or something you can draw real-life conclusions from, and also because I knew nothing about the film beforehand and had zero expectations.
Entertaining, unexpected, but rather too long and quixotic for many people's tastes, but with references to Lars von Trier in a less sinister but more directly accessible and enjoyable format, to in-bred horror communities and classy Wrong Turns or even Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut or Harrison Ford in Witness. So inviting, and yet you wish you'd stayed away.
