Hit: This is most impressive body horror film I've seen thus far. It's just right up there with The Fly (1986)
Real Talk: *Camera POV of Casey and her friends having their bachelorette vocation.* This is not some generic found-footage-movie, trust me and this will have a point later.
Miss: A fake out scare, never a good start in a horror movie.
Miss: A jump scare by title card....
Hit: Casey's uncertainty of having a baby plays a nice parallel into what happens to her later in the movie.
Miss: For lack of a better phrase, Casey's fiance's mother is a real asshole and you'll hate her a lot.
Hit: Although the movie's a slow burn but it does some good subtle hints that something's a bit off with Casey.
Real Talk: *Casey and Jared are having sex until he unnoticeably grabs hold of Casey's rather nasty bug bite on her hip.* Well that's one way to ruined a sex scene.
Hit: Credit to the prosthetic effects on the Casey's bug bite.
Hit: Credit to the makeup department for having Casey looking sick as a dog.
Miss: Stop messing with the bug bite, woman!
Miss: Good on Casey to call a clinic but why not just go to a hospital already?
Hit: *In a nightmare scene, Casey gets a surprise baby shower until she starts leaking out insect eggs and everyone starts stepping on them.* Impressive scene, gross but impressive.
Hit: Also nice practical effect with the insect eggs.
Miss: Even after noticing all the weird insect eggs in her apartment, Casey still doesn't go to the hospital.
Real Talk: Jared's mother: "I know that is not my son's child in you." Well you're not wrong.
Hit: Casey starts this little head twitch as she continues to change. Rather nice touch to give her some quark to her metamorphosis.
Hit: *Casey spews acidic vomit on Jared's mother's face which kills her.* Suddenly I'm getting The Fly (1986) flashbacks. And also Jared's asshole mother is dead and I couldn't be more happier.
Hit: The actress playing Casey is a real trooper with all the weird goo she spews and being covered with.
Real Talk: Casey's friend Jill is such a bitch, you'll see why later.
Hit: Casey's apartment now looks like the Xenomorph hive from Aliens.
Hit: *Casey starts peeling off one of her fingernails.* Suddenly I'm getting The Fly (1986) flashbacks, again.
Real Talk: Casey's friend Kristen is clearly wearing those paper thin yoga pants because you can see her ass as clear as day.
Hit: And since I brought it up, Kristen ass shot.
Miss: *Casey holding Kristen's body after she unintentionally kills her.* What a minute, Kristen was totally blinking in this shot! How did the editors missed that?!
Miss: Jared is pissing blood because why? Also it's never brought up again.
Miss: *Jared and Jill are having sex in her car.* Dude, you just pissed blood not too long ago. For all you know you might have AIDS and you're now infecting the poor bitch.
Hit: *Casey screams to a point both Jared and Jill started puking in the middle of sex.* Casey uses Screech, it was super effective.
Hit: Once again credit to the makeup department with Casey's full transformation.
Miss: So looking like what she is now, apparently Casey went outside and retrieved Jill's laptop without being noticed by anyone.
Real Talk: So during the bachelorette vocation it turns out Jill had a guy to take sexual advantage on the drunken Casey. Just to get Casey "cheating" on camera so Jill can have Jared all to herself once she showed the video. Like I said, Jill is such a bitch.
Hit: Casey kills Jill....
Hit: *Casey stabs Jared with her stinger.* Suddenly I'm getting Splice flashbacks.
Hit: *Jared curve stomps the fuck out of Casey's head.* Nice and the practical gore effect was really awesome.
Real Talk: A week later it turns out Jared was implanted with Casey's eggs as they hatch out from his still alive bady.
Miss: Another jump scare from the title card.
