About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a paranoid, extra-weird horror satire that builds unease before going fully grotesque, with a culty vibe similar to Videodrome; Not for you if you hate slimy body-horror or slow-burn setups.
Pros: paranoid mystery build-up; darkly funny weirdness; memorable gross-out moments | Cons: uneven pacing; story feels thin; not for squeamish viewers
