"Swallowed" is a new release that had the potential to be a horror movie, but it falls short of expectations. The film was decently acted, but the plot is more of a thriller than a horror movie, and it lacks the blood, gore, and jump scares that we expect from a horror film.
While the movie has some intriguing ideas, it fails to explore them in depth. The bugs that appear in the movie are not explained, and we never really find out what they do to the human brain. Additionally, the lack of any real insight into the trip that they induce makes the plot seem rushed and underdeveloped.
One thing that stands out about the movie is the excessive full frontal male nudity, which may make some viewers uncomfortable. While it is not unusual for horror movies to include some nudity, it is overdone in "Swallowed" and seems unnecessary to the plot.
Overall, I would not recommend this movie to fans of the horror genre. It fails to deliver on its potential, and the lack of character development and plot twists makes it a dull and forgettable watch. I would give "Swallowed" a 4/10 rating for its decent acting but failure to deliver on its potential.
