A coroner finds a capsule in the head of a heavily mutilated corpse, containing a phone number and single word: the name of his daughter.

Why it matters

A visceral dive into body horror meets twisted mystery, where grief and gore collide with unsettling intimacy.

  • Practical effects deliver gruesome, tactile shock that recalls Bottin’s mastery without feeling retrograde.
  • Anchored by a haunting central performance that grounds the chaos in personal trauma.
  • Fans of body horror and psychological thrillers will appreciate the film’s brutal exploration of identity and loss.
  • Its claustrophobic atmosphere and relentless pacing evoke the best of ‘90s underground horror while feeling fresh and urgent.
