The film was successful in staying true to it's genre - one which is quite hard to nail successfully. When I first watched it, I didn't know what to expect. The use of the sound effects to emphasise the irritating noises worked well with the visuals and were in sync. It was equally as irritating for the audience as it is for the main character. Gillian Jacobs did a very good job. She really sold the emotions of fictional person to me and I was able to relate to it. Suddenly I remembered how disgusting it is when my sister chews her food with her mouth open. What I love most about the piece is that the humour isn't apparent until it takes a turn towards the dark-side and to me that's what makes this piece fantastic. To think that it can be humorous, sadistic, and horrifying all at the same time is incredible. I didn't start laughing until I saw two suitcases seated in the back of a jeep being driven by an easily irritable woman and shortly afterwards four buried in the sand. Despite laughing at the scene, I was still taken aback emotionally at the depth of the situation. To think that it started from an accidental death and led into a series of intended deaths is just great!
