Carroll's worldview is dominated by the threat of catastrophe and the decline of morality in the face of human extinction. Then he steps on a rusty nail. He stumbles through the modern world, searching for romance, shedding toxic friendships, and fighting for truth... all while struggling to maintain his deteriorating health and sanity. As his moral crusade edges closer to self-destruction, Carroll is confronted with the ultimate existential question: are we really doomed, or is he just dying of tetanus?

3/5
An intimate, grungy descent into paranoia and disease, it’s a very effective work of body horror with more than a few wonderful stylistic flourishes, even if its third act never quite goes as far as you’d like. Go to Full Review Chad Collins Dread Central 5d
4.5/5
Oliver Bernsen’s Bagworm is a gooey, sublime portrait of contemporary meltdowns with a body horror edge. Go to Full Review Phil Walsh Geek Vibes Nation 5d
