    The animation looks like a shitty video game cutscene, and that’s charming in its own way. Terrible sound design, and a rather dull plot. Unremarkable characters that blend together. However, the first thirty minutes of buildup to the reveal of the threat were a real treat, the way it built tension, makes me think there was a vision under this mess, and maybe in a better world, this would have been a great movie and GW would have used its success to make more warhammer films.

The soundtrack is great too. The body horror and gore made me squeamish. Injections terrify me greatly. I would not take the substance.
