3.5
This was an absolute fever dream of a novella.
Great atmosphere, a lot of grossness around bodily fluids, weeping sores, flaps of skin… Remisiscent of Braindead in some parts, and with flashes of humour (although nowhere near Braindead levels of comedy).
I felt like the story suffered from some pacing issues - the talent show section felt especially dragged out and became tedious.
Overall, this felt more about the ‘ick’ and the sexual content than the actual scary/creepy kind of horror I was expecting after reading other people’s reviews.
3.5 stars, rounded up.
