On the film's plus side is an overbearing, arse dragging gloom that is amplified by the locations. The effects have that moist sheen beloved of the time and the gore is nicely handled with my favourite scene being the first murder by throat bite that for some reason keeps focusing on the victims foot squashing raw mince between his toes! |
I does disagree,I think it has a feverish sweat to it,that reminds me of my teenage angst when i use to metamorphose into insect,your problem is your old you forgot what its ike to be angst ridden insect.
