Stringent vegetarian Justine (Garance Marillier) encounters a decadent, merciless and dangerously seductive world during her first week at veterinary school. Desperate to fit in, she strays from her principles and eats raw meat for the first time. The young woman soon experiences terrible and unexpected consequences as her true self begins to emerge. IMDB:7/10 Rotten Tomatoes: 92% [76%] Metacritic: 81% Today I'm going to cut to the chase, I love it! Garance Marillier was absolutely amazing and this film had the one thing I've noticed 100s of horror movies over the year lacking, and that's subtlety. I won't go too far into it because I may turn this subject into an article but Horror movies need to have balance and boundaries, things need to make sense n there world and this movie does that perfectly. Every aspect is in character, the effects of everyone's actions fit perfectly. This makes everything eery and uncomfortable because you feel for these characters and the stakes feel higher than ever. This film was able to achieve a unique tone and suspend you into disbelief just enough for you believe it could actually happen. Not only are you able to believe and take in alot of bizzare concepts but the movie is able to do this through the importance of character building as we go along over the course of 103 minutes with gripping atmosphere and realistic behavior. The relationships of this movie stand out and the realism approaches show off beautifully here. DownfallsI personally wouldn't consider this a downfall but I could see many people being turned off to this movie because of the amount of body gore and anxiety. If a flick is gonna raise your anxiety or make you uncomfortable its probably this one.
