This film is creepy as all hell.

Swallowed elevates the body horror genre - oscillating between excruciatingly tense sequences (which are just the right amount of gruesome), and deeply felt emotional scenes between the two leads. Performances by the leading actors - Cooper Coch & Jose Colon - were brilliant, and as expected Jena Malone and Mark Patton do not disappoint. Beautifully photographed on location in Maine, matched with a powerful score, and punctuated by one hell of an ending. Still with me days after seeing it at this year's Screamfest, and definitely a major highlight for 2022.

10/10.

Powerful, yet still understated, this beautiful film explores a delicate subject matter wrapped in a haunting narrative.

Brilliant concept, the likes of which I've never seen. Masterful execution of camera movement, muse en scene, and performance.

Like many others, I was eager to watch MONDAY to see just what could be pulled off for a $7000 budget. Within 5 minutes though, I was so lost in the story and characters that I completely forgot this was a micro-budget feature. The writing is sharp and witty, acting is incredibly natural (and funny), and it's amongst the best edited films I have seen in a very long time. Definitely check this movie out and support indie film at it's finest!
