Why we recommend it
A high school student with a parasite in his right hand battles parasites that eat humans. What begins as horror grows into a story that asks what it means to be human.
It may not be for you if
There are many scenes of bodies transforming and people being eaten. Avoid it if you're sensitive to graphic violence.
