The first 15 minutes of this film offered much. A creepy opening scene. Followed by what I thought was the set up for a really interesting concept piece on the pressure's on women to have babies before the inevitability of the menopause. Unfortunately, the next 80 minutes was absolute drivel.
So our strong willed lead decides after a conversation with her father to seek help from an experimental therapy centre. Whilst there she takes some pills, then paricipates in some hackneyed psychology card game, starts seeing spiders everywhere, along with a rather comical tall supposedly scary lady. Oh and let us not forget the piece of metal she willingly submitted to having inserted into her.
She then returns home, eats raw eggs, freezes eggs, then licks them, starts seeing spiders everywhere, goes to see her father, smashes his grandfather clock (yeh like we didn't all guess the twist at this point), paints spiders on the nursery wall of her friends house, has sex with her husband who wait for it, had a bag with the same infinity sign used to promote the therapy centre she went to.
Point here, if her husband was involved, why did he have sex with her knowing he would be exposed to the pointy piece of metal.
She runs back to the therapy centre, removes the piece of metal with pliers. Gets chased by the police, has a conversation with her husband on the phone (the not so big reveal). Then gets handcuffed, jumps of a cliff, and thankfully finally, is seen lying face down on a rock at the waters edge (no handcuffs) watching a creature slowly climbing up the rock.
I do love the way some people try to interpret or see deep and meaningful messages in films such as this.
For me and I suspect most people who watched this film, the only message I got was...... YOU WERE AN IDIOT FOR WATCHING THIS FILM TO THE END.
