don't do it!

Rating: 1/10 (9 February 2018)

There. I've used the only mildly-interesting "artistic" choices surrounding this movie - the non-capitalization of the first letter in the title and the exclamation mark at the end. I'll admit, I normally don't watch horror films. OK, I never do. I decided to give this one a chance because of the cast (specifically Javier Bardem). A mistake I'll be sure not to make again! I had a WTF look on my face throughout the entire movie. During the final scene, I went: "ohhhh I get it!...", and immediately after that: "what a waste of time", followed by some harsher words I will not repeat here for fear of being blocked by IMDb. After watching I went ahead and read up on the movie, and I realized that I didn't quite "get it". So, I learned all about the allegory and the Bible and Him and mother earth and Adam and Even and blah blah blah!!!...... I get it. I get the allegory. I get what Aronofsky was trying to say. I get that he was intently trying (at least I hope so) to shock audiences. But, you know what they say, if it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, then it's probably a duck. Or, in this case, a pile of disgusting horrific delusional absolutely gory crap. don't do it!
