I really wanted to love this film. Unique and original concept, even if it did at times remind me of Bug (2006) with Michael Shannon, albeit with less paranoia. The visuals were stunning and icky, but the prosthetics on Richard weren't believable and verged on the facial difference = bad/evil stereotype. I would have loved instead, more realistic looking mosquito bites on an otherwise good looking bloke. Characters that appear the most normal and put together but are secretly the most evil/bad are far more disturbing.
I heard this film was disturbing, and literally don’t what is meant to be disturbing about it, yeah the visuals are beautiful, but the some of the comments are right..it is quite boring and no pay off at the end at all, was just left fucking confused by the end of it
strange movie
interesting idea i guess, not sure the ending landed for me but it has its moments
This movie isn't too in your face, it knows what it's critiquing and plays eerily in that lane for the whole film. I'd describe it as "corporate horror", it focuses on building atmosphere and feelings of powerlessness and dread.
