Hint 1: no one really cares about the little girl, not even the audience

Hint 2: like Wuthering Heights, the angst in this film is turned up to eleven

Hint #1: it was ages ago, like a different age in history from now

Hint #2: the ugly one has lots of bfd movies about her

Hint #3: y’all are too focused on the ugly one

Hint #1: everything would have been fine if she hadn’t picked up the book - it was a bit too real and too spicy for it’s time

Hint #2: it’s not a horror movie. Not all movies with a book are horror

Hint #3: the movie is based on a book

Hint #4: despite some full frontal and bare bum male nudity, there’s not much for the gay gaze

Clarification: the movie is not the Abyss and doesn’t have anything to do with that movie and there is not a literal abyss. Its just that concept.

And warning the title is unfortunately the same title as an unrelated movie released the same year, which annoyed the filmmakers but they still didn’t retitle it for streaming for some reason 🫠

Hint: how far would you go to make film students glaze you

Hint 2: the description really is what it is, just badly described. The clues in the comments are slyer

Hint 3: it’s hard to give hints for films that break the fourth wall when they let the audience in on the secret. Still, some people will believe what they see with their eyes, even when it’s unbelievable

Clue #1: bro made a cool jacket his whole personality

Clue #2: it is, in fact, a modern movie it just steals a lot from the old mob types

Clue #1: it’s a mainstream artsy film that won awards

Clue #2: it’s about wanting life and death to be fair

Clue #3: the star also starred in another eerie artsy movie with an animal in the title

Clue: it’s like nature was uno reversing an alpine divorce

I’m looking commiseration and suggestions if there’s anything I haven’t tried (may also post in cat advice sub but it’s the high kill drive some BSH and ASH get)

>!Last night he got out (again) and brought back a dead vole and I almost stepped on it in bare feet 🤢!<

Note: here it’s illegal to let cats roam

The situation:

• backyard bred indoor BSH, neutered male, 6yr old
• always has had lots of indoor hunting games with me and kick toys and wands, other simulation toys, etc. lots of enrichment.
• I knew he liked hunting because he’s brought a mouse out of the crawlspace a few times. He doesn’t eat them, so per the vet, we watch his health and he was a happy boy.
• This summer, I introduced harness& tie out training and it’s unlocked a real kill drive. Had no idea this was a thing.
• I had to pause the training for another reason and he’s been tearing through screens to get out
• He doesn’t catch birds, just mice and voles in shrubbery. Which would be fine if it was only when I’m with him.

The problem:

• >!stepping on a dead rodent is gross!< and outdoors here isn’t safe at night
• The window he’s using to escape only opens about 3-4 inches (but cats are made of liquid)
• We use negative pressure ventilation to cool the house so a/c and a closed window isn’t an option right now
• there’s not a room I can secure him in to make the window inaccessible.
• replaced screen every time and tried a stronger weight wire but he pulls them out of the frame rather than tearing a hole so the thicker screen didn’t stop him last night
• New toys and more play and constant attention doesn’t interest him and he’s depressed (compared to how he is social and proud all day when has been out)

I’m trying to restart the tie out training that’s let him play in the garden but he panicked when I tried to put it on him yesterday so the garden isn’t going to be a solution right away.

• we are almost in full fire season which makes outdoor air dangerous and then the window will be closed probably the rest of the summer and he won’t get much time in the garden at all

Do other cat parents of frustrated hunters have a suggestion? The vet is excellent but faced with these challenges is low key for letting him get out since he comes right back. Medication won’t do enough to satisfy this drive.

Hint 1: it’s a very low budget Canadian horror-comedy currently streaming on a large online streaming service

Hint 2: after a bit of googling, I think it’s too niche and small. Sorry y’all. But I’m leaving this up to see if any locals guess it

Hint 3: every sexy girl’s ugly friend needs a polka dot dress

Hint 1: Carrie wishes she had this kind of commitment to the bit

Hint 2: this princess movie is not for the faint of heart or squeamish romantics (and not for youngsters or kids)
