Great Emotion and Horror with at Times Messy Pacing

This film works best when it is focusing on the theme of the mother and son, you feel for their relationship as the mother is forced to confront her illness at the risk of losing control over protecting her son’s life. This is an interesting and complex dilemma not often seen in horror films that I would like to see more of where the protagonist is already infected by the monster and is on borrowed time as the main lead is very compelling and credit to Peri Baumeister for her performance under all the prosthetics. Furthermore, the horror moments are very good reminding me of ‘Train to Busan’ and ‘Alien’ without feeling like a complete rip off in its claustrophobic and tension building scenes. Meanwhile the prosthetics and make up are very good as I much prefer when vampires have a monster look and feel to them.
