Notes

My quick rating - 4.8/10. This has to be some vanity project for an aspiring indie filmmaker since the whole thing just reeks of imitating Kubrick. The obvious reference to Eyes Wide Shut painfully makes the slight references that much clearer. The storytelling in this is lazy at best. One of the main characters just shows up at the home of the two girls living there, barges her way in, and with no further explanation, becomes part of the household and lives there? Using the Jeffrey Epstein story as a backdrop for the whole conspiracy and the fact that the two girls may have moved into his old apartment, where he was trafficking women, did catch my attention. But what they did with that was nothing. It more or less opened the doors up for some erotic sex scenes throughout the movie that do get pretty strange. I am not sure if it was on purpose or not, but the actors do a tremendous job of making sure you don't give a shit which, if any, lives or dies. Each one is basically either annoying beyond belief or secretly evil in some way. And for a low-budget flick, the production work is actually quite good. This is definitely one of those movies that you will actually really like, or completely despise. I personally can see from both sides of this fence and get stuck in appreciating it enough to be fair, but knowing I wouldn't ever want to watch this craziness again. The story is too weak and wraps itself up far too blandly to warrant a return visit. But if you like weird for the sake of being just that, and quite a bit of blood towards the last act, then you may want to check this one out. It did have my attention from beginning to end, so that is surely a plus.
