Didn't like this more than "Infinity Pool" but it's still a strong debut from Brandon Cronenberg. This movie is extremely violent and hypnotic in its representation of it. I haven't seen violence this stylized since Tarantino, and I have to say, I quite like it. Cronenberg is able to mix the styles of his father while creating something completely original with his use of synths and psychedelic colors.
The acting in this is phenomenal by everyone, and I think the credit has to be given to Cronenberg on how tight this script is. There isn't a single moment where a character blurts out their motivations and thoughts and I liked it more for it. Whoever edited this movie as well knew what they were doing. I guess the only reason it didn't reach the four star mark for me was the ending. It felt abrupt and I didn't like how the story wrapped up the more I thought about it. If you are into psychological messed up and violent movies, this will surely satisfy that craving.
