Summary

We're dropping a mini-review of Carter Smith's new queer horror film Swallowed, which just had its world-premiere at the Overlook Film Festival! Since the film is still seeking distribution and thus can't be seen by most audiences, this a completely spoiler-free review. We will release a longer (spoiler-filled) episode on the film when it gets released. Starring Jena Malone (The Ruins, The Neon Demon) and Mark Patton (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge), Swallowed is a pulse-pounding tale of two best friends on what might be their final night together. A drug deal gone wrong finds them at the center of a chilling queer body horror full of shocking violations. Questions? Comments? Snark?
