this would make a good double bill with that last cronenberg movie with julianne moore or the canyons maybe.
looks fantastic as expected, starts off well, looks like its going to be an interesting look at power and rivalry in LA modelling, but then just becomes a stupid horror movie. i say that as someone who likes horror, but who doesnt really like how its often just bolted on in these sorts of art-horror films. some of it was genuinely gross. but the films bitchiness wasnt really OTT enough like some have said (its no heathers). ending was pathetic. felt underscripted and lacking where it needed more. basically just another excuse for refn to come up with great shots, but not a great movie. someone let the man do some film art installations instead.
