As the synopsis states, the main character has...unique hobbies, had a rough childhood, and is mentally unstable. After acquiring some money, she starts to live the life she wants, and has the freedom she wanted for so long.
However, due to the emotional baggage from that past, her mental state continues to crumble without her even realizing how unwell she is.
While this is labeled a comedy, it certainly doesn't have enough comedy to get rid of that tense atmosphere. The moments that one would consider funny are mostly her quirky personality, but even that is dark humor/black comedy, particularly because it is also a part of her mental illness.
Still, seeing her get super excited and ride her bike grinning ear to ear after finding someone to stalk certainly was hard not to giggle at. Truly some good dark humor, but still quite dark.
Throughout the movie, we see her grow deeper and deeper into her obsession. What was already unhealthy becomes dangerously unhealthy.
There's moments that'll make you cringe, not because it is cheesy, but because of how intense it is. The movie starts off with an already tense atmosphere, but by the end it is completely clouded over in darkness.
Despite the many bad things she does, it is easy to feel bad for her, given her backstory which is explained at various points throughout the movie.
It is also easy to feel bad for the victims.
Essentially you feel bad for pretty much everyone except her parents.
The ending is also executed greatly.
Acting, cinematography, etc., were all great.
Honestly I could probably rate this 9. There were not many flaws aside from the absolute absurdity of it all, but that was the plot and they executed it very well.
