oh wow, yeah, it's the best of the trilogy by a wide margin, it is not even remotely close, although there are parts that feel odd in their exclusion given the trajectory of the series so far, this feels more like a bonus chapter than a conclusion of the themes and ideas of the series, and it's also much more psychosexual drama ala Silence of the Lambs or even closer to giallo like Argento's Suspiria than it is neo-noir anything, really. this shit gets Freudian. this gives me a lot of the same feelings as Shyamalan's Split, except this is a much, much better and more ideologically cohesive and coherent movie. it's so shockingly rare you get to see a movie series get BETTER with every release. IMMEDIATELY one of my favorite movies of all time.
