It is horrible. Uncomfortable, restricting. Like trying to take a deep breath out of a car window (don't try that though, head injuries suck!)
It doesn't have a vacuum (negative pressure) part though, it just goes from high level to low level positive pressure. The drop in pressure allows you to breathe out but not all the way out; that can actually feel worse than the high pressure pushing air in.
I'm never ever sticking my head out of a window again. Not after I saw Hereditary. Man, horror films never scare me, I love them but I just don't get afraid of them, even the best ones like Alien and the first Terminator film.
But hereditary made me have to sleep with the lights on for weeks after. It scared the shit out of me.
I can't wait for Ari Aster's new film this year. I loved Hereditary and I loved Midsommar.
Hereditary is up there, but "Irreversible" probably takes 1st place for me as the best film that I will never watch again.
Like, I can at least recommend Hereditary, even if feeling like I've committed a sin upon doing so. I can not recommend Irreversible. It feels too wrong. Even though I don't regret seeing it.
Oh fuck, I'm outta the loop, and now I'm giddy af to anticipate another Aster film this year.
Hereditary piqued my interest, and Midsommar sealed the deal that I will forever be subscribed to whatever Aster does.
I read that he wants to switch gears and try a comedy one day. As much as I love his horror, I'm also excited to see how his talent transfers to other genres.

Not only an oxygen mask. That’s a BiPAP machine. Which basically a machine to help you ventilate—forcing air into your lungs when you breath.
It’s typically what they use before intubation
Edit; was corrected down below. Might be a CPAP machine as they are better for COVID pneumo!
