Honestly pretty good but the pacing is way too slow at times.
I like the main characters,they develop a sweet bond over the course of this movie.
The body horror is excellent and top notch,my favorite thing in this.
Anyway good movie but the slowness of it all holds it back for me

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slow-motion catastrophe of body horror and tragic degradation, where scientific hubris becomes an inescapable nightmare. The film watches a brilliant mind literally dissolve, transforming what could be cheap scares into something genuinely mournful.
