3.0

Gritty, fast paced, and weird—all things we can expect from LaRocca. The ending wasn’t entirely original, but other than that, the weirdness felt new to me. I’m not usually a fan of supernatural elements, but LaRocca seems to do it in a way that doesn’t feel cheesy to me

CW: war, blood, body horror, violence, sexual assault, incest mentioned, birth, insects, gore, death, cannibalism mentioned, abuse (emotional and physical)

this was surreal, violent, and extremely sad. that ending, though. bravo.
