The film delves into the psychological and physical consequences of a new drug, showcasing some intense practical effects that really enhance the unsettling atmosphere. The pacing can be a bit erratic, but it adds to the chaotic feeling of losing control. Michael and Jenn's performances do a solid job of conveying gradual descent into madness – you can almost feel their paranoia seeping through the screen. The mounting body count plays into a broader commentary about the perils of unchecked desire and reliance on external substances. It’s not just about the scares; it’s about what happens when the line between reality and hallucination blurs.
