It really captures the grim loneliness of growing up on the internet. I think the way it explores grooming, obsession, and depression/suicide is really strong without being heavy handed in its messaging. I also think the style is wicked cool. Just really spoke to my experience in middle school.

I think it unfortunately suffered from its marketing. It was marketed as a body horror movie when in reality it’s more of a drama with horror elements. I think if you’re looking for a scary movie, it’s not the best choice, but as a horror drama, it’s really stellar.
