Saw it, it's a giallo in 2016, I'm down with that.

Apart from the obvious italian horror vibe, it's sort of like Starry Eyes, only not poo poo.

I can definitely understand why people in Cannes were shouting onanista and gently caress you Liv at the screen. I don't mind cinematic masturbation but it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Dunno, free movies? Do you pay to be there or is do you get a free pass?

Anyways, thinking about it, is there any real indication that Keanu Reeves is anything but a fine, upstanding citizen of LA? While it's implied that it's him who assaults the girl next door, isn't it more likely that it's the fashion witches eating her? The only scummy thing he does is blame the protagonist for leaving the door open and letting vermin in, which to be fair is a lovely thing to do as a tenant. He does hilariously take the piss out of the pedo boyfriend by telling him about an even younger girl he could prey on, and fucks him out of a lot of money that he would otherwise spend on trying to have sex with children.

Uh, the whole knife/throat scene??

That was a nightmare she had before someone tried to get into her room, no?

I'm not well versed on witchcraft. What else could be considered to be in that category other than the cannibalism thing? I really enjoyed the visuals and the score was goddamn amazing. The Sun / Moon imagery was very interesting.

And is cannibalism something that witches practice or something? hosed up if true.

Witches live in weird giallo houses.

Witches aren't hot as poo poo and they don't take lezzy showers together, blood covered or not.

I got to thinking about that part after watching it today, and I thought that there was a possibility that that wasn't actually Keanu assaulting her, it was the photographer that Jesse snubbed earlier.

Yes, we see Keanu assaulting Jesse in a dream just before that but in the dream he quietly unlocks the door with the key he has. Compare that to how it occurs in reality, the intruder struggles with just the lock on the knob, and then Jesse goes to latch the deadbolt which was not latched. If it were Keanu, then he'd have quietly unlocked the non-deadbolted door or at least tried his key first before struggling with the doorknob.

It wasn't necessarily the photographer but I don't think it was Keanu either.

I had the same thought , there's really no indication that Keanu is doing anything wrong. The photographer doesn't seem like a violent predator, so my guess is random cannibal fashion witch.

A weird man made this movie so everything should be interpreted as very sexist, oh wait lots of women were involved, better give it the benefit of the doubt then, no wait the guy says weird things so the movie sucks cause its sexist - a presumably paid reviewer of movies

You wanna hear something really embarrassing? I thought the girl in the final scene who replaced the other model was Ruby, so invigorated by the cannibalism that she could outshine any barely-twenty model. Made perfect thematic sense to me until I realized it's the same actress as before. And redhead Jena Malone is my waifu anyways.
