fire, worth a rewatch too.

The body horror is poorly executed, the humor reads as crass and incredibly mean spirited, and pacing lurches around in a nonsensical fashion.

There are multiple effective thematic elements presented using the medium and instead of basking in what has been established the filmmakers seemed to opt for an overly brute force approach to reminding the audience of what they have already been shown.
