About
If you enjoy slow, creepy, ambiguous mysteries with unsettling “make-your-own-conclusion” vibes like Birth/Rebirth or Dead Ringers, you may find Evolution compelling; Not for you if you want clear explanations, lots of action, or a more conventional horror story.
Pros: eerie seaside atmosphere; strange medical trials; hooked by ambiguity | Cons: slow, quiet pacing; lots of vagueness; frustrating lack answers
