Jessica Murdock (Hayley Erin) all bloodied is running through the woods as if someone is pursuing her piquing your curiosity. Why is she running and why is she bloodied? Who is pursuing her? One of her flashbacks has her locked in some makeshift detention centre. This is getting heavier by the moment.
Then that lady Elsa Gray (Sonya Walger) with the semi automatic pistol. It is not readily ascertainable who she is. Why is she popping all those pills?
What organization is Elsa working for? Whoever is running it has a team of “contacts” tracking Jessica and she is wanted dead or alive.
Watch further and it is a question of disease upon disease and the breadcrumbs thrown us by director John Rossman are truly ghoulish and chillingly violent both reflective of solid writing and special effects makeup.
One queries if the hunters of Jessica are pawns of a governmental-biomedical conspiracy? Surely at one point you’ll have Wuhan memories. A conspiracy in every cupboard.
And just when you can calm down from the apparent conclusion of the film perhaps that is when the ambit of the horror explodes.
An intriguing combination of believable and imaginative horror.
