Warning: Spoilers
It's not a terrible movie, but it's nothing that's amazing. At one point I thought it was supposed to be commentary about men who are taking advice from people like Andrew Tate. But it eventually turned into the MC killing people because... who knows? He has trauma from his Dad leaving him on Christmas day, and doesn't like talking all that much.

There were certain things that happened in the movie with the man cult where they were being hypocrites. They talk about how their fathers leaving them is what caused a lot of trauma, yet they also recommend that Ralphie leaves his GF, who is currently mega pregnant, because "that's what a lot of the other members do." So basically, they want to make another child whose Dad leaves them at some point.

It seems that Ralphie was also a closeted gay man who secretely hates himself. He got mad about seeing gay men being in a relationship while he was driving them home in his car. Ironic since he's so homphobic that he'd scare some gay men, but he eventually has sex with a guy and kills him for some reason. I guess it's supposed to be random killing because that's what murderers do?

All in all, want something to watch that has some really pretty camera work? Watch this.
