The premise

The story of a heartbroken man who attends a spiritual retreat, only to discover that the course releases more than everyday toxins and traumatic experiences.

Horror Vault's take

A brokenhearted man seeking a fresh start signs up for an intensive spiritual retreat promising to flush out life's emotional baggage — but the purge turns out to be far more literal than the brochure let on. What begins as a darkly comic character study gradually reveals something strange and visceral lurking beneath the self-help surface. Director Bobby Miller blends creature-feature weirdness with genuine heart, anchored by a committed ensemble cast including Johnny Galecki, Anna Friel, and Anjelica Huston. Fans of offbeat genre hybrids will find plenty to chew on here.
