Unsure where a lot of the reviews are coming from with their "fun" comments, but either they enjoy carnage or... idk. But between the reviews and the synopsis, this one does suffer a little from a "not what I was expecting" aspect.
This is incredibly dark and twisted, being a story more of someone getting pushed so far that they suffer a psychotic break instead of a true villain arc. For what it is, it's really good.
Unfortunately, it sinks itself even further for me by having a "femme character must be killed for plot reasons" and ingloriously with Mind Control, to boot. Which is why it's such a low star rating for me.
