6What people say
All criticism of this movie is correct but I don’t give a shit.
1) what the actual fuck2) the abrupt 'creature scene' at the one hour mark alone warrants at least a 4+ star rating(and on a similar note, fuck yes to the film's final scene)3) you must experience The Guardian 4) you must experience the entity which I can only describe as self-destructive-balloon-man5) what the actual fuck
