Scenes cut in China

I watched it streaming in Iqiyi.com and some parts of the ending were cut (not even carefully). So I guess that's why I don't recall girls eating her or even being covered with her blood. It jumps from "swimming pool scene" to "bad girls are back in another shooting".

Strange, because many other horror movies with gore or really violent scenes are not cut.

My only complaint with this movie is the depiction of the fashion industry, too movie-cliche. As a former model myself, pisses me off to see some things. No one would let the photographer put cream to a model!! What the hell!!

"As a former model myself"

Well I'm pretty sure the director asked one of his actresses (a VS model) stories about modeling

Cant judge it either way, but in the end they are selling bodies, not more not less.

When I entered the business as a 14-year-old schoolgirl, I was routinely asked to do topless shoots and pose seductively. To this day, in an industry dominated by minors, there is no policy of informed consent for jobs involving full or partial nudity. A recent survey shows that 86.8% of models have been asked to pose nude at a casting or job without advance notice.
