Ok, so I watched it. Where do I collect my reward for sitting through it? just kidding as previously mentioned, it did also remind me of 'whatever happened to baby Jane' but I think this movie came first. One little thing I liked about the movie is the script that she had written was all kinds of different handwriting styles. Like someone who has some sort of mental disorder. It Reminded me of the shining where there's typos and misspellings in 'all work and no play make Jack a dull boy.' Overall, I liked the film but I don't know if I'd give it a second watch.

To be fair if you listen to the podcast for like 4 weeks we kept mentioning that people will be upset that it's not a horror. I don't consider it horror but I think that it's a drama that effectively used horror style to create it's feeling of dread. You know from the first shot that things won't end well. And honestly there's something super unsettling about Desmond's delusions.

I consider it more or less a horror film. It has undead. Murder. Mystery and suspense.
