Assassination Nation is the greatest movie of all time

Solid but fucked up movie. Really intense. Home invasion shit is REAL. This is a terrifying movie. Comes out the gate with a trigger warning. You should pay attention to it. 

More or less a data hack horror flick where a small town's secrets are exposed. Ultimately, chaos descends and four girls must fight to survive as the town blames them even they were victims of the hack themselves. While things start out being set in reality, things devolve into The Purge by the end. 

Supposedly a satirical black comedy, I didn't see much humor in the film. Directed by Sam Levinson. Ensemble cast has some star power behind it. The star is this Odessa Young woman. Only seen her in The Stand so far. Her crew consists of Suki Waterhouse, Hari Nef, and Abra. 

A bunch of minor but pivotal roles from Anika Noni Rose (who was a real heat check performance), Bill Skarsgård from It, Joel McHale, and Colman Domingo from the new Candyman flick. 

Feel super shit for the principal. A photo of his child in the bath got leaked. She's like kindergarten aged. Everyone is sure he is a pedophile. "Look at the context of who I am as a person!" Nah, "LOCK HIM UP!!!" 

Bret Easton Ellis aspect to it. Example, there is a voice-over about why a girl loves a guy while he berates her IRT.
