It’s not often movies really give me the creeps
but this one do! The story revolves around two scientists that try to create
the ultimate painkiller. It’s an organic organism really and it’s inserted into
the test subject’s body. It attaches itself on the spinal core with the idea to
absorb all pain the person feels. Sounds good if not even great in theory
doesn’t it? Well of course it goes wrong and the organism integrates with the
person and requires pain to continue living. And if this painkiller doesn’t receive
enough pain the person dies ultimately.
It’s truly gruesome piece which indeed shocks
me. I can’t take it when people gets inflicted with more and more pain and
actually enjoys it. When it’s, in fact, is imperative for their very existence.
Just as TheMinions, also directed by JeremiahKipp, I wish this was a feature film. It would have been interesting to see
how it would hold up over a bit longer time than just 15 minutes. I’m not if I
could take it! It’s not that it’s a very gory film and that might be the
strength about it. Less is so often more. That doesn’t mean it’s totally
without gory effects either. If you’re into August Underground Mordum you might be disappointed but if you’re
just after the discomfort this film brings you, it should hit the spot!
8/10
