What exactly wasn't clear there? Do you mean Woodrow's revenge sequence, which then turns out as a hallucination? I think the tragedy of all that is actually stronger if it's first played straight (more or less) and then shown as nothing but a fantasy. It's not like the film doesn't allude to this earlier; in the beginning you see some of the shots from later parts of the film so it's clear it's not going to have a simple linear storyline.

I liked it. Apparently the movie was a commercial failure and can understand why, its not the sort of blockbuster action packed flick i would go and see on the big screen, but for something to put on on a foggy saturday afternoon in november, its really good. And the great thing about movies or tv shows set in the 60s is they contain tons of era appropriate music, which this does.
yeah, loved it too and the soundtrack, obviously

Her acting really is abysmal. But worst director? No.

Her acting was horrific. She was horrified and weepy and annoying. Like a scared bitch.
It was perfect.

Oh you schmucks. How many women have any of you guys chased with an axe? That's what I thought. She was authentic.
