Climax (2018)

Rating: 3/10

SPOILERS!!!

Opinion

• Long shots/one camera made me feel like I didn’t know what was behind me, even before the neon and other distortions happened. Movie is definitely a bad trip
• Really not enjoying the r*pe jokes and all of the S/A is why I actually dislike this movie. I really really dislike this movie. R*pe horror is not something I’m interested in, never will be. Read the fucking room
• Liked how they’re all dancers so they’re acid freak-outs all have some dance aspects to them
• Genuinely impressed with the emotion/tears/anguish these dancers were able to portray, they’re mostly dancers with no acting experience!! Wow
• Was clearly the German girl who spiked it lol she was talking about acid at in the interviews and she’s literally fine when the cops came, just vibin — JUST SAW THE LAST SCENE, I KNEW IT! FUCKIN ACID EYE DROPS
• Lol I liked the upside down words after the upside down shot
• Was definitely waiting for a “climax” though, like a big murder or something to happen not a lot of little somethings

Fun Facts
