Overview
- David Koepp’s adaptation of his 2019 novel, directed by Jonny Campbell, hit U.S. theaters on February 13 via Samuel Goldwyn Films after financing by StudioCanal.
- Joe Keery and Georgina Campbell lead alongside Liam Neeson in a sci‑fi horror‑comedy about a fast‑mutating parasitic fungus escaping containment beneath a Kansas storage facility.
- Outlets report generally positive notices, with Rotten Tomatoes scores cited in the mid‑70s to low‑80s and frequent praise for Keery–Campbell’s on‑screen rapport.
- Critics are split on the film’s tonal balance and heavy use of CGI, noting a push‑pull between splattery horror and broad comedy.
- The release faces limited marketing and strong box‑office competition this weekend, with several reports suggesting it may find a wider audience later on streaming or VOD; the film is rated R for violent content, gore, and language.
