Pros: Mia Goth's performance is a force to be reckoned with and as she is in nearly every scene, she dominates the picture and despite the low budget nature of the film, the cinematography and editing are solid.
Cons: Basically everything else. Sure, horror is not my genre and while this is supposed to be an origin story, but I feel like we almost needed a different origin story, one that goes further into Pearl's (Goth's) past. The plot is basic and predictable and the characters are nothing more than one-dimensional stock characters and the film didn't even keep my attention through dinner, so yes, this is, despite Goth's great performance, easily the worst film of the year.
Recommend: No
Grade: C
Side Notes:
-Goth does have a great monologue in which she reveals far too much.
-That was such a waste of good pork.
-Pearl is a horrible human being but a solid dancer, though it would be great to know why she thought dancing would be her ticket out of town rather than anything else.
