Oh I get the appeal. It's fun. Watching this back to back with The School for Good and Evil was an interesting experience because that movie is based on a surprisingly interesting and good narrative about female relationships but the movie was trash. THIS movie is a much better film about that. It's got gore. It's got depth. It's got subtlety. It's got great chemistry between the two lead girls. It explores their sexuality without being a movie that exploits their sexuality. Yeah I'll say it.. it's feminist as heck. It looks inexpensive but it doesn't look cheap. TLC went into this movie and it shows. Heck these are girls who DRESS like they think they're unattractive. It's something movies kinda suck at sometimes. They hire all these traditionally attractive actresses and the character has to be "ugly" or start from the point where they think they're ugly but they're dressing like anyone else. These girls dress down like their suburban goth kids who just want to leave. I respect the costuming so hard. Almost as much as I respect the practical effects. They don't hide the monster but they also don't overexpose it. Watching Ginger transform step by step was interesting and fun.

It's also darker than I anticipated. It's grim all said and done. But yeah I could watch this again and again on an annual basis.
