Terrible and non-coherent
What happens when you try to stretch out a 60 minute short
Needed to be a Black Mirror Episode...
Just a lot of fun... Don't read into it more than that...
Confusing but decent

I felt they both were racist. Doesn't matter whom did it first and/or more intently. Both were judging each other on cliché racist tropes based on nothing but skin color. I do not think it really matters who was at fault at first. They both openly did this in the film. Was it a natural reaction? IDK. That to me is very subjective.
Only if the "stretching out" is used as filler to make it an actual film/movie and not a short. Shorts usually do not make their money back. At least this got sold to Amazon so someone somewhere made some money for their time/effort on the project but that doesn't make it good or even successful. I just saw another terrible movie last night called "Cosmic Dawn." Another movie with the same subject matter that goes nowhere. A lot of the same. A movie that looks like a polished movie but lacks any substance, characterology, plot that makes sense. Makes me really wonder how these movies get financed.
Metal...
I never said that: "So there's something wrong with being like a long episode of TTZ."
You did. I said:
[I saw it based on the trailer, which was pretty good. The movie itself felt like a really long episode of the Twilight Zone or something. There is so much filler in this to give it the full movie vibe but this to me seems more like a short story stretched out. Because of that, the pacing and all of Act III. i did not like this and cannot recommend it. It is better than say Jeepers Creepers: Reborn, which is probably the worse movie EVER made since Troll II...]
So, to summarize: I do not like this movie because it is a short-story stretched out to "technically be the length of a film," but has too much filler and a poorly written 3rd act for me to give this a pass as a movie people should watch and like. 6.7/10 on IMDB, 66% Audience score on RottenTomatos where the Audience score reflects more what the general public feels, while not terrible scores, they are not great either and I would have rated this around the same or a hair lower if I cared enough to vote.
It isn't so bad that it should be mentioned with Troll 2 or Jeepers Creepers: Reborn but not by much. The production of the movie was good. It has a good look, which is why this is even more disappointing to me. I have seen better movies dealing with the same concepts but it looked like a college or TV movie than a polished film. This has the polished look but due to ALL the other issues i have with the film it won't be getting a favorable response from me. I am objective about this and not subjective about this.
These are good points to bring up.
Good Take...
I think some may see wokeness in this but really i saw more mentality of 60s culture in this than say 1979 where the story takes place. The sex scenes are very tame. Maxine / Pearl's final lines say it all. Something along the lines of the old woman being old, crazy and sex-crazed. Sure, was I expecting something more on the motivation aspects but this still worked for me as a slasher. Not very believable but felt like it is a fair homage to the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre film.
I get the revenge porn theme but there isn't anything in the film that really dictates it. The sex scenes are very tame. Maxine / Pearl's final lines say it all.
