Like father, like son.
I haven't felt a sense of dread in a film, such as this one, in some time. I knew what I was getting into when I found out it was son of David Cronenberg, but somehow still caught me a bit off guard. The uncut is a sci-fi/horror, beautifully crafted tour-de-force of complexity, graphic violence and gore that will test your will and perhaps bend the mind enough to actually get, not only the premise, but at the end of the final act, you feel somewhat rattled and an odd sense of the films relevance, not unlike his fathers filmography.
Niche genre, much aligned with Alex Garland in concept, and his fathers stylistic vision and fingerprints are on it, but this is Brandon's baby, and what a baby he has conceived.
