OUT NOW SHUDDER
Having caused a stir with 2017's aptly, Argentinian writer-director Demián Rugna brings bursts of the same feverish imagination to this more expansive follow-up. When brothers Pedro (Ezequiel Rodríguez) and Jimi (Demián Salomón) discover a – repulsively oozy – possessed person (or ‘rotten') in their rural backwater, they decide the best course of action is to dump them elsewhere, causing the problem to spread… Bound by an over-complicated mythos, the film's best moments are its simplest: eruptions of shocking violence that may floor even the most seasoned gorehound's jaw.
