In the film, “Syd March (Caleb Landry Jones) is a top sales representative for The Lucas Clinic, which harvests exclusive infections from celebrities for injection into obsessed fans. But in a near future consumed by the possibilities of biological communion, will Syd himself pay a horrific price for the toxicity of fame?”
Brad Miska wrote in his review, “The expectations may have been unfairly high (being the son of a legend demands some sort of competence), yet [Cronenberg] surpasses them by delivering a deep, engaging, and beautifully shot art house horror film.”
