People think new 'bats**t' Emma Stone movie is even more disturbing than Saltburn

If Saltburn didn't completely scratch your itch for head-tilting kinky f**kery in film form then have no fear, because film fans reckon a new Emma Stone film goes even further.

If you thought nothing could top Barry Keoghan's infamous bathtub scene, well, Stone's new flick had to be re-edited to comply with film laws in the UK because it was so extreme.

So, what are viewers of the Easy A actor's latest movie in store for?

Poor Things is based on the 1992 novel of the same name and sees Stone reunite with The Favourite director Yorgos Lanthimos.

Stone plays Bella Baxter, a woman who has basically been brought back to life by having her baby's brain replacing hers.

By writing that sentence I'm convinced that Poor Things is one of those 'just go with it' movies where you're not supposed to spend the runtime worrying about biological facts.

Anyhow, Bella goes on all sorts of journeys of discovery in the movie, including sexual discovery.

Check out the trailer:

A sex scene in Poor Things was so controversial that the movie had to be re-edited for UK audiences.

It's got an 18 certificate anyway, but in one scene where Bella is working as a prostitute a man hires her and has his two young sons watch.

The British Board of Film Classifications (BBFC) said they'd give the film an 18 rating as long as it changed a scene which was 'depicting sexual activity in the presence of children'.

Poor Things is described as having 'strong and pervasive sexual content, graphic nudity, disturbing material, gore and language', pretty much all of which could also be directed at Saltburn.

Those who've seen both films have said that anyone who reckons Saltburn is the craziest movie they've ever seen 'ain't seen nothing yet compared to the 'bats**t' Poor Things.

The movie has picked up rave reviews from critics so it sounds like it's the good kind of bats**t if such a thing exists, but is bats**t nonetheless.

One viewer said they went into the film 'feeling happy' and came out of it 'deeply disturbed'.

Someone else said it was like watching a 'weird fever dream that's kind of messed up but also hilarious', while a third suggested that 'Poor Things actually deserves Saltburn's reputation'.

Even people describing how insane Poor Things is have been praising it, so maybe you've just got to give yourself a bit of time to watch it and be ready to go with whatever the film throws at you.

Poor Things is in cinemas now.
