🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a grim dystopia, relying on the aesthetics of Japanese extreme cinema and cyberpunk body horror. It explores themes of corporeal transformation and scientific ethics, turning a prison cell into a laboratory of nightmares.

What lingers after the credits is a visceral sense of dread and a questioning of identity's limits. The experience is an assault on the senses that refuses to offer easy answers. — MovieFinder Editorial
