User Reviews
“I went in expecting a straightforward body horror, but this one surprised me with its psychological depth. The way the cure slowly erodes his sanity is genuinely creepy, and the isolation of the facility adds to the tension. Definitely worth a watch for indie horror fans.”
“The concept is cool, but the execution felt a bit slow for my taste. The gore is minimal and the scares are more psychological than jump. If you're into slow-burn character studies, you might like it, but I was hoping for more visceral horror.”
“For me, this film shines in its atmosphere and the lead actor's performance. You really feel his desperation and helplessness as he fights his own body. It's not perfect—some scenes drag—but the dread you feel as his humanity slips away is unforgettable. Great indie find!”
“It's a decent watch, especially if you like body horror with a twist. The premise is intriguing, but the pacing was uneven for me. Some scares felt predictable, and I wanted more development of the supporting characters. Still, the ending stuck with me.”
