    Strange...but good

    I watched this with a friend of mine who used to have some mental issues before he got on medicine, and he said this movie really hit home for him.

    This movie is very sad at times. You feel so bad for what the main character is going through. This is definitely more drama than horror....it has very very little horror IMO, but is well done and very well acted, especially by the main character.

    7/10 - Recommended if in the mood for something different.

    psychological horror/thriller

    I'm not usually a horror/thriller fan, but i do better with psychological stuff for sure and this was a good watch for me! Definitely some horror/gore/"body stuff" that made me squirm without completely losing me. What i found most compelling were the parental relationships and how those played out in will (main character)'s life - and for bonus points, there were a few AH HAH moments that got me in just the right spot. Recommend!!

    A Watchable Movie.

    So this movie is a little wacky and wild. By this i mean... well nothing. But jokes aside this movie is fine i guess.

    To start off with i want to talk about the mental illness part of this horror. I thought this movies portrayal of mental illness was fine but offered nothing in terms of feeling. By this i mean if someone who had a similar mental illness was to watch this movie then maybe they would feel something (maybe). But if you suffer from nothing like this then this movie doesn't do much to make you feel sorry and/or sympathetic towards the main character. It's a mix and match and depending on your personal situation i feel it is either good or bad and nothing in between. This is why i think the way it's shown in this movie is average overall. When i say all this i do not mean to offend anyone or downplay metal illness in any-way. If you feel as if i have i do apologize.

    Moving on to the story and i must say that i thought that this part of the movie was fine. I struggle to say much here as the story was pretty much the mind of the protagonist. But his mother, boyfriend and father were all key pieces of the puzzle. The movie is (just like before) pretty average in this department. The story isn't anything special (even compared to just horror), but wasn't at all bad in my eyes and is easily passable and watchable.

    The cast of characters was absolutely fine in this movie and like the story is simply average. God, so far everything is average in this movie. The lead character was simply fine and so was the rest of the cast. Not a single character was poor but neither was anyone great. Everyone was easily passable but didn't deliver anything memorable.

    The horror in this movie was pretty poor. Now i can understand (to an extent) that the mental health side of this may have hit with people and caused a type of fear or unsettling nature to be taken away from this movie. I can also point out one or two jumpscares which i didn't really expect, but i felt they were nothing special. Overall the horror in this movie (in my eyes) was simply lacking. It wasn't terrible but the costumed Wolf who looked goofy at times and the (at times) awkward hallucinations made this movies horror fall flat most of the time. For anyone wanting more than an average cast and story look elsewhere as the horror in this is mediocre at best. Horror is definitely not this movies strong point.

    Story - 5/10

    Cast - 5.5/10

    Horror - 2.5/10

    Portrayal of Leads Health - 4.5/10

    Overall a pretty watchable movie with nothing special about it, 4/10.

    Moving, vulnerable, scary

    Saw this at Overlook and really, really loved it. Perhaps not your "usual" horror, I'd think of it more as a character study with horror elements being used to tell a story about mental health. Absolutely heartfelt performances and stunning visuals. Raw, connected -- but also, surprisingly, funny. Def see it.

    a Great drama with horrific moments

    A very powerful movie about trauma and mental illness, with solid direction and cinematography, only held up by the editing which at times goes over the top and frantic for a bit too long in the attempts to convey the main character's psychosis and anxiety attacks.

    Zach Villa gives a Great main performance both in comedic and devastating moments, creating a wonderfully varied and whole portrait of a man haunted by his past and trying desperately to take control of his fragile mental state.

    Devon Graye does a wonderful job portraying the sad sometimes sisyphic acts of a loved one who wants only to know our protagonist for his real damaged self.

    A great watch for drama-horror lovers (and yes the main character is gay if that something you count as a downside, the internet was a mistake)
