Directed by Laurence Vannicelli, written by Laurence Vannicelli, produced by Daniel Brandt, Bogdan George Apetri and Holland Roden.
Average viewer score of 5.3/10 from 44 ratings.
This movie is disturbing on so many levels, which had me angry and confused. But I couldn't seem to turn away from it and hope for something to ease my mind from the madness and bedevilment of this story. I truly hope others will give this a watch and see what their interpretation of the madness of the story lead them to feel. I'm conflicted and yet somewhat relieved.
