SUMMARY, spoiler-free

"Brandon Cronenberg’s New Nightmare Is Shallow and Hedonistic... Cronenberg's explicit psychedelic tourism thriller is cold and clammy. Stars Alexander Skarsgärd and Mia Goth deliver terrifically unhinged performances as a failing novelist and a mysterious tour guide, and Cronenberg has absolutely no shortage of original ideas, but the whole thing feels bloodless, cold and clammy as a speculum.

...the film is never as appalling as it seems to confidently believe it is... There are sharp ideas here about humanity’s self-replicating and self-preserving drive toward longevity, the hollow rotten core at the center of the uber-rich, etc., etc., but it’s all blunted by unkempt execution..."

Grade: C
