See the films the platforms disagree about most →The serene isolation of a luxurious high-rise apartment complex is shattered by the outbreak of a bizarre and grotesque parasite. This genetically engineered creature is designed to liberate humans by suppressing shame and unleashing pure instinct, but it does so by turning its hosts into violent, sex-crazed maniacs. The plague spreads rapidly through the building, trapping the residents in a nightmare of infectious, primal horror.
