A Mask of Flies surprised me. I’m not exactly sure what I expected, but it wasn’t that-in a good way.
It’s fast paced and gruesome, with excellent body horror. Every time I thought I knew what was going on, Annie would pivot and take the story in a wild new direction.
Would have been five stars, but it felt a bit long and expositiony at times, and the cat seemed absolutely unnecessary.
