This movie was interesting. It wasn't bad, per say, but it definitely wasn't good, either. The synopsis had me intrigued but I can see why it was listed as a "horror/comedy". The acting was off and on, the characters didnt feel original, but the plot was unique. I was interested just because I wanted to know what would happen in the end but after I finished it, I felt like I had just wasted my time finishing the last half of the movie. It wasnt a good ending nor a bad ending, it was just... there. Im giving it 4/10 because the plot was unique, the cinematography wasn't bad, but the acting and execution could have been a lot bettet.

Hannah (Hadley Robinson) is a young fashion designer struggling at work. She has a pain in her side and something is growing out of it. A creature out of her doubts emerges. She seeks help from a self-help group where she is befriended by Claudia (Emily Hampshire).

This is more allegory than horror. It needs help to be more scary. Mostly, the creature is too campy or too cheap. It takes any realism out of the movie. It should be devastating body horror. Instead, I'm looking at it side eyed. To be fair, it's not trying to be camp. It has no humor to speak of. It would be better as a slug coming out of her body.

Although mixed with similar themes and queues to other "body horror" type films before, it does bring a new variation to the table. I thought this was quite solid overall, mainly because care went into how it was shot and produced. It was set up with some fine acting tidbits, such as amusing Desmin Borges as the stereotypical eccentric clothes designer.. laughed several times at his contribution. The effects weren't fantastic, but I don't think they were meant to be.. these were mostly metaphorical demons (even though the DNA twin ingest thing was explored), and it seemed to be tied to conditions and mental issues that are quite valid when people struggle with adversity. Even if it wasn't saying that, I enjoyed it.
