Negative Positive
Title: Is madness contagious?
Review: This is a great movie, but it isn't a horror movie about bugs attacking people. With the title, box art, and even the description on the back, this can be unclear, and is what is leading to some of the negative reviews you see here.The interesting thing about it, for me, is that it highlights the fact that we all have weaknesses caused by the pain in our lives, and if you are unlucky enough to meet someone who reinforces those weaknesses, it is a fairly short trip to trouble.This is the essence of codependency, and happens all the time when two people with a weakness for drugs, overspending, overeating, gambling -- you name it -- get together. The result is a steady escalation of the worst traits from both people as they reinforce and validate each other.That's what this movie is all about, and once it starts, you won't be able to look away.
Is the review positive or negative?
