This is a solid teen body-horror, with a great way of conveying its message, lovely twists and engaging characters. The directing is outstanding, the casting on point and the effects understated and working really well. It might lack some of the shock of something like The Substance, but it is a worthy inclusion into your body-horror watchlist, certainly.
