Similarities to "Antichrist" (2009).


Do you think this movie has any, that notorious sexually explicit and graphic supernatural body horror fantasy from Lars von Trier, thanks.

The climactic scene of the film relies on a ceaseless string of impossible body horror. Arguably sexual but even that soon crescendos in absurdity.

Also, I haven't seen this one yet but I have seen Antichrist. And in that film, you have a seen towards the end involving faceless women. In this one from what I hear, it has men but with apparently the face of one character who is on the front cover to this movie.

I haven't seen Antichrist yet unfortunately, so I can't make a more relevant comparison.

The gimmick of this film is that every male the main character meets is played by the same actor (even a little boy); they all have the same face. This seems to be a phenomenon that only the audience sees though.

The body horror scene at the end is...pretty graphic and disturbing imo. Not in a, omg so violent sort of way, but just....what the fuck is happening to that body.

Do see Antichrist though one day. :)

it reminded me very much of "antichrist", similar style with surreal scenes, some graphic sexual and body horror stuff, and of course, misogyny as a topic in both films.

"and of course, misogyny as a topic in both films."
In the modern digital day and age, where WOULD we even BE without such a topic being featured in and explored in cinema? Huh?
