All sex scenes are cringy to me even though I'm very sexually active. Instead of cringing at the sex, I felt like it was karma, especially when they knew the risks. There's a few sex in the woods in a horror movie and then getting killed scenes. Why couldn't it be a terrifying rat king not a sluggish obese pink slug? Disappointing. I'm here for horror, not nasty gross rat slugs. Two headed rats with pink skin crawling about feels less scary. They're also evolving into slugs basically. Both James and Howard need to not repeat themselves like this. They're so scary only the word tenacious can be used like Lovecraft saying 'queer' for odd can be abused. I get it, the rats are two foot long terrors. The amount of times they were described as 'tenacious beasts' or 'tenacious' was a bit on the tedious side. Sorry, James, your book trilogy is just becoming a pretty cover and me rooting for the rats, not being afraid of them. Rats are scary, but our bodies attacking themselves or rotting is far scarier. At least it's not bacteria becoming immune to medicine this time. We should probably be better about how often we do it. Very smart idea.īut realistic, as we've done that a lot in history. They killed all the rats susceptible to poison and pesticide and can you guess what's left? Right.
