Not sure what this was supposed to be about. It felt like the author was trying too hard to be scary and edgy while sending a profound message, but instead this fell flat and very short on all three levels. It was hard to follow and too hard to figure out what was going on or happening. I listened to some words and there may have been a weird spider creature, some weird runway outfits, and taking advantage of people who were down on their luck, disfigured, or who had other physical ailments. It’s 45 min I won’t get back because I did listen to parts of it again to see if I’d missed the point. Don’t recommend.
