Real Horrorshow, Indeed

Go SEE This Movie.

... but only if you have a strong stomach and were a fan of Children of Men, and you don't mind seeing Paul Dano get beaten up by Daniel Day-Lewis (this was tough for me, because I'm still seeing Paul Dano's brooding teenager from Little Miss Sunshine in his character here, but Dano's performance here is leagues above and beyond Sunshine).

ADDENDUM: This film's ending has been ridiculed, described as a complete and utter hogwash, a failure, and other preposterously overloaded words of hyperbole from critics across the U.S. For the record, I thought that, yes, the ending parted on a dark note, but that nevertheless it fit in with the rest of the film and couldn't have ended any other way for a horror film.

ONE MORE ADDENDUM: One more thought on the ending: it's a homage to Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and A Clockwork Orange. Anderson actually wanted the bowling alley set to be painted in pure white tones a la Clockwork Orange, so I'm not off the mark.
