“Just when you think you’ve seen the worst human beings have to offer, you find out you’re wrong,”

Solid storyline. Was it gripping? No, but I was not bored either.
Unnecessarily drawn out story with little to no escalation. I believe, this could have been a hit - mad scientist cannibalism with an interesting back up study - however, I was disappointed with the execution.

Stephen King saved it with his remarkable ability to describe reality as if you were right there.

“there’s no more exquisite torture than hope.”
