An emotional, claustrophobic horror that shows promise.

I decided to give this a watch because of the synopsis....a couple split up and turn into 'monsters/become infected by something repulsive' as a metaphor for the relationship and the toxic way in which they can end. Was it about that? Well, kind of.

This is a very low budget, claustrophobic horror that would seem to convey all the above whilst doing flashback cutaway scenes to show the story of the start of the relationship though to its zenith.

The direction in that respect is rather good, the central idea is really good, the execution however, can be a little hit and miss.

At its best, it's a grotesque emotional horror rather than a physical one. At its worst, it's a faux intellectual, faux arthouse, film school project.

The actors are mostly a miss. The characters are not very sympathetic and you will feel like you a chlorox bath after watching. Anything that makes feel all those things can't be half bad.

My dear mother, ... how is this a film without any sense or connection with anything normal.

First, ... I usually aim for a higher star rating.

Second, ... I download the movie in a hurry, so I don't check the country of origin of the movie.

If by any chance it says that the film was shot in the UK or England, I wouldn't even watch it because of my previous experiences.

The similarity of the names of the actors with the US actors is great, so I always hope that the film is from the USA and fear that it is not from the UK.

Unfortunately, as soon as the movie starts, I can see from the accent and shots that I will be watching nothing for the next hour and a half.

The script of the film is bad, the acting typical for English films is originally boring and forced, not to mention the cheapest production that gives everything a special pathos.

If this is horror and deserves a 5.4 current rating, then the film has lost its purpose as art and entertainment.

Perhaps the worst thing about English films is that they don't invest a lot of money in the film, and then we see works like this, mostly.

I do not recommend this movie to watch at all.
