      10/10
      This is the worst movie I've ever seen... 10/10.
      I hate this movie so much that I love it. This is easily the worst story I've ever seen, the worst editing, and the weirdest movie that I'm currently aware of. The acting is fine, but literally everything else is just awful. 10/10. Would play at my wife's funeral.
