If I hadn't watched the trailer 7 times that probably would have been the most incredible shot of the movie for me.

Same. All the absurdly overt phallic imagery in the movie worked, i.e. wasn't groan-inducing, because there nothing coy about it. It was all totally outrageous but at the same time strangely matter-of-fact. The chainsaw reveal is the best example of that. This movie reminded me of an 80s Schwarzenegger movie (I hate this cliche but it really applies here) on acid.

Needless to say I loved it. Crazy how 2018 saw the release of this and Hereditary, two of the best approaches to Satanic/demonic horror in film ever.

It's funny you mention that, because I just learned that Panos Cosmatos' father directed Cobra and Rambo: First Blood Part II.

Didn't know that! Makes a lot of sense. But for some reason it still feels more like Predator/Commando than it does Rambo.
