Goddang this movie was depressing (spoilers)

Was it anything else to anyone else?
The man murders his wife, eliciting a number of grotesque scenes...and knowledge that his son is surely traumatized for life and will forever be haunted by the inescapable horror of having helped.
But thankfully the damage is short-lived, on account of his son shooting himself in the head...after the love of his life bleeds out next to him, killing their unborn child, of course.

Meanwhile, we're treated to lots of rats...just...so many scenes of rats. One of which bites Dad's hand, causing him to eventually lose it. So he stumps around his ever-crumbling house with his Cow...who eventually collapses on the front porch for some unexplained reason and needs a mercy bullet to the brain.

Finally the most happy ending we could hope for? For Dad to be put out of his goddamn misery already. Jesus Christ. Once and for all. Finally...everyone is dead and the only remaining misery is left with the viewer, who can hopefully shake it off in the next half-hour or so. The end!

This was a strange movie, IMO. There wasn't a single ray of sunshine to be found anywhere in this flick, nobody to root for, nothing to feel good about. No reason to smile...shoot, no reason to feel anything other than dread and impending doom.

Just...a father-son team murders Mom...everyone suffers in misery until they die. Even the damned neighbor gets left by his wife after losing his daughter, before eventually losing the farm and...probably ending up in some asylum somewhere, being slowly tortured to death. Likely by the guy banging his ex-wife.

It was an intriguing film though. I was thoroughly intrigued by how bleak it was. In hindsight, its a movie I wouldn't recommend simply due to the belief that there's some imagery that just cannot be healthy to have in your psyche. Some things are better left unseen. The acting was friggin fantastic, Thomas Jane is always amazing, Molly Parker was outstanding.

Its the story that was a seemingly never-ending cacophony of horrible. I'm genuinely curious if anyone took anything away from this movie aside from a lingering depression lol
Anyone?
