Great ideas packaged into a misshapen box. Too gritty to be stylized. Too stylish to be hard grit that it was aiming for. A lot of interesting ideas that just stretched out about 20 minutes too long. Buckley and Bale are great as the monsters.

was trying to do too much in one movie. Almost felt like multiple movies competing in one,

Very confusing and kinda hard to understand the plot.

I wish there was a maybe option for recommending. The movie was visually appealing, and not torturous to watch, but felt somewhat vapid. An endless stream of in-jokes and references to other films without much story or world-building. Many plot elements were so contradictory that in the end it felt like the movie as a whole says nothing at all. Perhaps the point was that stitching together elements of great films makes a monstrous mess, in the same way stitching together choice parts of corpses does.
