Synopsis
Dale pulls something out of his stomach. What was that? There’s a knock at the door; it’s his mother, bringing food. The place is a filthy mess, but she pretends not to notice. It soon becomes clear that Dale’s hiding something strange in the back bedroom. Mother says that Dale’s father has lost a lot of weight and is in the hospital. Dale’s very distracted and acts very zoned-out. As they talk, strange things start to move within the apartment. Some of it crawls into her purse…
Commentary
If you’ve ever had an unexpected guest interrupt something you don’t want to talk about, you know exactly the mood of the film. It’s pretty clearly a metaphor for addiction and drug use, but it’s also good as a straight up horror film. The production values are great; nothing looks cheap. The acting is excellent, and the body horror really works.
