But then again, I've known some people who otherwise really dig surreal horror / Jodorowsky et al to knock it back, so I guess it's really about what pushes yr buttons. If like me you change your mind a lot about films I'd give it another go though, sometimes my willingness to take things in or get into stuff varies a lot with how I'm feeling, and I can (and often do) go from nought to sixty on some flicks just by being less knackered / preoccupied.

A genuinely disturbing film. For adults. Love is a battlefield cough
