Very Stephen King I could see the mist inspired bits and the short story about the mangled from the childhood memory mentioned.

Eldritch from HP

With Cutters amazing style of The Troop

Kind of a weird combination of The Troop and The Deep, but not as good as either. It gets into the action right away, but the brevity of the story ends up working to its disadvantage

I definitely wish this has been a printed option as well, only because I had to rewind a few times to understand the layout of some of the structures referenced but that also lends itself to the content I suppose (in a good way) a maddening trapped feeling is perfectly described and the themes of claustrophobia in this tale were so well written that I found myself catching my breath.

Fantastic voice acting (though the Movie adaptation of this story cast younger than what I had visualised)

Nick Cutter knows how to write Cronenberg-esque body horror to perfection.
