About
You may like this if you want a grim, gross infection-driven horror with a slow build and escalating discomfort; Not for you if you need tight logic, likable characters, or subtle gore, and it may appeal to fans of Grace.
Pros: gross body-horror moments; slow-burn dread; intriguing premise | Cons: uneven acting; shaky logic; story feels aimless
