About
If you’re into true-crime horror that’s nasty, bleak, and occasionally darkly funny, this delivers in spades; Not for you if graphic violence, sexual assault, or cruelty are dealbreakers—Ebola Syndrome is a close match.
Pros: relentless shock value; darkly comic cops; tense investigation | Cons: extreme sexual violence; brutal gore; tonal whiplash
