Review of Home Sweet Home  Open in new Window.
Review by Raskolnick Author IconMail Icon
Rated: 13+ | (1.5)
The reliance on visceral, hyperbolized decay (“gangrene,” “glistening snot,” “rabid eyes”) risks substituting shock for substance, rendering its horror more grotesque than psychologically resonant. Thematic aspirations (war’s dehumanization, viral alienation) drown in overripe prose and repetitive bodily grotesquerie, leaving emotional beats—like the final recognition—feeling abrupt, even manipulative. A brutal premise squandered by prioritizing style over narrative discipline.
