Would've been better without the missing sister plot


Cause that honestly felt so boring, and it really wasn't what i wanted from this movie. It had an interesting set up with her being a censor who watches violent horror movies everyday and has to cut the really violent scenes, i thought that was cool cause i haven't seen a horror movie with that kind of premise before.

I think it would've been far more interesting if it was just about her slowly going insane from watching all the violence from the movies she has to watch every day of her life. Like we see it starting to effect her, shes seeing images of violence in her sleep, she starts fantasizing about doing it herself, eventually she ends up violently murdering everyone at work in ways she saw it happen in the movies.

To me that was the kind of movie i was expecting, i didn't think it was gonna be a freaking girl trying to find her sister the whole movie, felt like a weird plot to have the movie revolve around.

Could that be done convincingly though? Sounds a bit like Driller Killer. The sister plot helped justify her actions.

You could say she was insane already, from obsessing over her sister. Then seeing 'Church' gave her a delusion to act upon.
