Overview
- The erotic-leaning horror thriller opens in U.S. theaters on October 3 with a 94-minute runtime.
- The MPA rates the film R for strong bloody violence, grisly images, sexual content, graphic nudity, pervasive language and some drug use.
- Early critiques split on execution, with Hartford Courant giving two stars and faulting the late stretch, while Collider finds the ride enjoyable despite wishing for bolder sensuality.
- Collider singles out Alex Roe and Andra Nechita’s magnetic antagonists and notes splatter-friendly bookend scenes.
- Director Mercedes Bryce Morgan says she enforced an equal-nudity rule on set and added a graphic opening sequence not in the original script to telegraph the film’s blend of desire and danger.
