action
Together with her friends Kirsten and Jill, the young Casey celebrates her hen party in Costa Rica . There she is bitten by an insect. Back home, she ignores the bite as she is very busy with the wedding preparations. In addition, she is put under pressure by her future mother-in-law Mrs. Kennedy, who does not see Casey as a good wife for her son. Casey, her fiancé Jared, and his mother both live in an apartment building on the same floor.
Casey is beginning to have doubts about the upcoming wedding. In addition, she notices major changes in herself. Your body slowly mutates, your senses sharpen. She can no longer take in food and she is plagued by nightmares. When she wakes up one day, there are lots of insect eggs in her apartment. Jared's mother breaks into Casey's apartment to confront her. Casey kills Mrs. Kennedy by spat on her with acid. Her friend Kirsten is very worried and visits Casey, but is also killed by Casey when Kirsten finds Mrs. Kennedy's body and panics.
Casey's friend Jill is actually in love with Jared and tries to prevent the wedding. For example, she stole Casey's engagement ring on Costa Rica and made Casey believe that she had a one-night stand with a holiday acquaintance. In reality, while drunk, Casey was forced to have sex against her will. This was filmed by Jill, but Jared only shows her pictures of Casey being kissed by the vacation acquaintance. Jill seduces Jared into sex in her car, but Casey hears her because of her heightened senses. This lets go of a loud, superhuman scream that causes Jill and Jared to feel sick and vomit. Jill arrives at Casey's apartment and is overwhelmed, drugged, and tied to a chair. When she wakes up again, Casey, who is now strongly mutated, forces her to watch the videos of her rape. She also forces Jill to call Jared, who then breaks into the apartment. Casey kills Jill, and a fight breaks out between Jared and her. Jared can kill Casey, but is seriously injured by her with a sting. He drags himself back to his apartment and tries to dial the emergency number with his cell phone. He no longer succeeds in doing this.
A week later, the entire house was quarantined . The police search the house and find hers and the bodies of Mrs. Kennedy, Jill and Kirsten in Casey's apartment. In Jared's apartment they find the seriously injured and already mutated Jared in a kind of cocoon. When they try to help him, eggs and insects ooze from his body. These attack the police officers. At the end of the film you can see two joggers talking about the upcoming trip to Costa Rica. One of the two is bitten by an insect.

Brian Tallerico stated in his review that the plot of the film was written in a corner and did not escape in a way that would satisfy. Much of the film is a creative disgusting ride.

He also recalled the best of David Cronenberg and had features of Roman Polański's disgust .
