The premise
While on her bachelorette party getaway, Casey, the bride to be, gets a seemingly harmless bite from an unknown insect. After returning home with cold feet, Casey tries to call off her wedding but before she's able to, she starts exhibiting insect like traits. Between her physical transformation and her wedding anxiety, Casey succumbs to her new instincts and begins creating a hive that not only houses her translucent eggs, but feeds on the flesh of others. As her transformation becomes complete, Casey discovers that everything can change with a single bite.
Horror Vault's take
What begins as a carefree bachelorette trip turns nightmarish when a mysterious insect bite leaves Casey with far more than an itchy souvenir. Back home and wrestling with doubts about her upcoming wedding, she soon finds her body and mind betraying her in deeply unsettling ways. Director Chad Archibald leans hard into practical effects, delivering a slow-burn metamorphosis that is equal parts visceral and psychologically unnerving. Fans of extreme body horror will find plenty to squirm over as Casey's world — and flesh — unravels around her.
