If you have a more than passing interest in Horror and Science Fiction - you have seen all this before. Night of the Living Dead, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and Society are the ones which sprang to mind. That's not to say it wasn't bad. It feels like an ambitious "pandemic" film with a small cast and few locations.
The story is basic. The characters are basic. The acting was fine - vapid characters with vapid dialogue.
It wasn't until after viewing, I noticed it's a comedy. It's fun at times...but not that funny or clever. Just an opinion. It seemed more Cabin Fever than Cabin in the Woods.
Practical effects and gore make-up were interesting and different enough. There were a few instances where it was quite successful in being creepy in the bright light of day. Patrick Nagel meets H. R. Giger.
It would have worked so much better at an hour long. 90 minutes just made the padding all the more obvious.
There is a sexual component (if the title wasn't enough of a hint) that leads to some surreal imagery, which recalled Man Who Fell To Earth a bit.
It was fine. Definitely not as bad as some reviews would make it seem. Just...not a lot of content you could call 'unique". Fine entry level body horror.
