Look, it’s not actually three stars good, but I clearly have an appreciation for the wild swings filmmakers took in the 90s in an attempt to define the cinematic language of video game adaptations (see Super Mario Bros. - another film I find charming, warts and all) plus it gave us Techno Syndrome (one of the most accidentally persevering songs of all time) and everyone involved is truly giving 110% to absolute nonsense and I respect that.

It’s like an episode of FRIENDS, except in Hawaii, and the friends are all a bunch of sex positive part-time spies, and instead of Central Perk they hang out at a restaurant called Edy’s.

This episode is called The One With The Toxic Snake.

“When I made this I was going through a break up. I’m all better now” - Ari Aster, introducing this film. 

Slow clap. 

Also, the most honest representation of tripping on mushrooms I’ve ever seen on film.
