In this psychedelic horror film, Asher and Iris are madly in love. After Iris succumbs to cancer, Asher is wracked with grief, searching for answers, wishing he had been taken instead of her. In his quest to reconnect with her, he stumbles into an otherworldly mountain town filled with homicidal maniacs, talking animals, and one very cool dive bar. He's given a tempting offer: try to cheat death and bring her back... but at what cost?

5/5

4/5
