You remember Terrified (2017), also by Demian Rugna? Right. Forget it. Because this is even worse/better. More revolting (for real). More viscous (for real). More suppurating (for real). More purulent (for real). More bloody (for real). More virulent (for real). More dripping (for real). More sac of pus (for real). With more rotten celluloid (for real). More imposing and impotent (for real, for real). More infectious (for real). It's not that Evil is lurking. But that it's here. Spreading, spreading. And if you want to finish it off (so to speak) you have to "cleanse" the "bugged" (the possessed). Not kill it. That isn't enough (for real). You thought you'd seen, smelt and vomited it all. Well you haven't. For real.
