Out, damned spot! Out!

Rating: 4/10 (9 October 2017)

The film opens with a fire with what appears to be Jennifer Lawrence's face in it. We next see her rebuilding the house that was destroyed. Her husband (Javier Bardem) is a poet with writer's block. A man (Ed Harris) who is also a fan comes to visit and stays, his wife shows up and things escalate until I thought I was watching a bad production of ".....Virginia Woolfe." Mother takes meds for her stress which is symbolically shown as a spot on the floor which comes through the rug. The stress level escalates until it is inane and unbelievable to the point she is cursed at and disrespected in her own house.
The ending, which I had figured out from the beginning, was supposed to be the" see how clever we are" for entertaining you with nonsense and oh the twist. I just didn't think it was great. J-Law gave a great performance, but when it comes to horror films she is 0-2.
