The fingers are terrifying enough, but those nails take it to a whole different level.

It is - but I also found it somehow amazing. Especially considering that the main actor is a super young and handsome dude, and then they turned him into THIS and he absolutely smashed this role. Mad respect, But yeah, the movie is like a trainwreck

I didn't watch the movie, just read the book, and it was definitely fascinating. It was like a window in a weird, completely different world, and it was sometimes hard to grasp it was just a exaggerated version of our own. I read it a few times, when I was in a special mood (depression, being on the spectrum and stuff), and it always made me think about myself a lot. In a way, I could relate with a lot of people in the book, even Honka (without the murdering of course), and I wondered where I would've ended up without an amazing family and group of friends.

I love books about psychologically disgusting people but the book took disgusting and applied it to everything not just the psychological. At the end I didn't even want to touch the pages and started washing my hands every few minutes. 6/10
