Seven Stages To Achieve Eternal Bliss is a dark comedy movie from 2018 that revolves around an adventurous and hilarious story of a couple who move into a new apartment to start the next chapter of their lives, only to discover that it's also the home to a cult that promotes suicide as a way to achieve eternal bliss. The couple, Claire (played by Kate Micucci) and Paul (played by Sam Huntington), are excited to move to Los Angeles for Paul's new job. But they soon discover that the apartment has a disturbing history. The previous tenant committed suicide in the bathtub, and a bizarre cult used the apartment to perform their rituals which involved sacrificing themselves in the same bathtub. The cult, known as The Scarf, is a group of four members, Arnold (played by Taika Waititi), Lester (played by Dan Harmon), Sheila (played by Rhea Seehorn), and Mason (played by Brian Posehn).

Claire and Paul are horrified but are unable to move out as their lease is for a year. They try to make the best of the situation and start discovering the quirks of the cult, who have left behind a set of detailed instructions on how to join them and achieve eternal bliss. One of these rituals involves mushrooms, and the couple decides to try them. They soon discover that the mushrooms have an effect that reveals the secret desires of people who are stuck in the same reality. Claire and Paul see the world in a different way and encounter symbols of their unforeseen desires in the environment around them.

Following the mysterious instructions left behind by the cult, Claire and Paul start working their way through the seven stages to achieve eternal bliss. As they begin to understand more about themselves and their relationship, they uncover secrets that reveal the dangerous and malicious nature of the cult, its members, and its leader, Ansel Roth (played by Mark McKinney).

As expected, the movie features some incredible performances, with Taika Waititi and Rhea Seehorn being the standout performers. Waititi's Arnold brings a sense of humor to the role that beautifies the plot's absurdity, while Seehorn's Sheila provides a grounded and genteel counterbalance to the darker and disturbing elements of the story.

The movie's plot has a sharp wit, which makes it more than just a dark comedy. It uses humor to punctuate important plot moments and themes, as well as to add a sense of absurdity to the plot's more disturbing and macabre elements. The film also utilizes the concept of a cult to underscore and explore the themes of desire, personal growth, and relationships.

Overall, Seven Stages To Achieve Eternal Bliss is a unique and eccentric movie that stands out amidst the more conventional offerings of the action and romance genres.
