Un horror spietato su come la società "per bene" sia in realtà marcia all'interno. Fantastico tutto il sottesto sociopolitico, le allusioni sessuali e il ritratto spietato di una società in grado di stigmatizzare chi non è intenzionato a seguirne i dettami. La parte finale è eccezionale, con la trasformazione in creatura lovecraftiana della borghesia in una scena di body horror degna di Cronenberg. 3* e 1/2

The last fifteen minutes are so beautifully batshit insane, some of the most lovely and repulsive body horror scenes ever filmed. Gorgeous, gooey flesh. However, the first hour and a bit bogs the whole thing down, just typical 80s horror cheese with dull, made-for-tv aesthetics. All worth it for that ending though. Wow. Genius.
