Maggots (2025) dives deep into the horror of obsession with beauty, featuring a character whose vanity leads him down a dark path. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the pacing is deliberate, slowly unraveling the protagonist's descent. Practical effects are a standout here — the grotesque transformations are both unsettling and fascinating, really showcasing the film’s commitment to tangible horror rather than relying on CGI. Performances are solid, with a certain rawness that captures the desperation of the lead. It’s not your typical horror fare; it delves into themes of self-worth and superficiality, making it a notable entry in the genre that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
