The horror movie, directed by Darren Aronofsky,
features Oscar-winner Lawrence as a young pregnant woman whose
life falls apart when uninvited guests arrive at the secluded
country home she share with her husband.
Some of the more sensational scenes include Lawrence burning in
flames and a human heart being flushed down the toilet.
"The reviews have been just been cracking me up," Lawrence told
reporters at the London roll-out of the movie on Wednesday
following its world premiere at the Venice film festival.
"People either love it or they absolutely hate it and I think
that's so cool. Like there's not one person that's walked out of
it like 'uh,' and I love that," she added.
The movie, featuring one of the industry's most sought-after
actresses and an award-winning director, arrives in movie
theaters worldwide next week as Hollywood's long awards season
gets underway.
Variety's Owen Gleiberman called the movie "a baroque nightmare
that's about nothing but itself," while New York Magazine's
David Edelstein called it both "grandiose and
self-aggrandizing."
Peter Bradshaw at Britain's Guardian newspaper gave it five
stars, adding "As horror it is ridiculous, as comedy it is
startling and hilarious, and as a machine for freaking you out
it is a thing of wonder."
