Kirsten Dunst's 𝘙𝘦𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘳 𝘔𝘢𝘥𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴. Something about plants or some shit idek, trees haven't made this little sense since 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 but by God would you *look* at it? At its best unbelievably emotive and ethereal, you could even call it fragile by the way its temperamental existence unendingly slips in and out of consciousness. At its worst the same mopey, stupid, meandering indie trappings that A24 had an intolerable fetish for that year but still done wildly better than the likes of shittier 2017 fare such as 𝘈 𝘎𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺, 𝘐𝘵 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘈𝘵 𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵, and 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘗𝘦𝘵𝘦. Kind of wish this just dropped the subpar 10% of a story that leeches onto the otherworldly artistic bouts of pot-fueled dainty chaos but it honestly doesn't get in the way too much. Too many gorgeous frames to even count. Spent the last half hour of this with watery eyes and mouth agape not only for its sheer beauty, sheer singularity in spite of genre trope reusage... but for how commandingly it bats for the fences and doesn't let up even a little bit. Not concerned for a second about being coherent or restrained at all beyond one feature length bad, trippy, fully immersive high. Pretty much a live action Nicole Dollanganger music video.

"𝘕𝘰 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯."

A nasty, gushing open wound of a movie - real gnarly dirtbag exploitation on display and easily one of the dopest film heroines ever put on screen. The American military as a grotesque, deformed monster of its former self - shambling around causing havoc in its wake, using its past achievements to justify its new warped existence. Also cool lady has machine gun for leg. Plants its sickness firmly into the ground before the zombies even start showing up, and then we get those reliably exemplary Nicotero effects - and they sure aren't afraid to use them. Dear God almighty is there a *lot* of blood, pus, rotting flesh, and guts in this and it all looks top-notch. Even by this genre's standards this leans hard into depraved splatfest mode. The last thirty minutes are seriously some of the best that cinema has ever created - and every Tarantino scene is the sort of masterclass revolting slime that makes you feel physically sick. The type of movie Rodriguez was born to direct - orgasmically evocative of the 𝘐 𝘚𝘱𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦 era of gorecore films while also totally remaining its own thing with a formidable vigor and sense of self. Prestige filth.
