This seemed to be a real love or hate film.
But I have to say I liked it a lot.
The thing I like is how Aronofski just throws everything at it. If you want a subtle, nuanced psychological horror then you're in the wrong place. It's just a complete OTT insane fever dream.
Cheap shocks. Melodramatic acting. Themes and symbols that are shoved down your throat. Lesbian fantasies. It's just full of ridiculous moments that I find as funny as scary. But that's why I like it. It's like a crazy cocktail of Polanski, Argento, Cronenberg and The Red Shoes.
I think if you just go along for the ride and accept it as a fairly ridiculous film and not The Shining or some shyt, you appreciate it for what it is. But I can understand why people had problems with it.
I actually think it's arguably Aronofski's best film. I mean.....techically Reqiuem is better but I never wanna watch that shyt again
