This definitely should be a 45 minute episode of Tales from the Crypt. Not a movie.

I would not consider this horror. Barely a thriller. Maybe a drama with thriller undertones.

The plot is basic, but the general execution and twists are solid.

When someone tells you - you should only do a certain thing once, no matter how good it feels: you should listen. Now it will be quite difficult to identify with the main character here - to be honest, the opposite will likely be the case.

Now onto the ... core of things (no pun intended). You should not be easily offended or disgusted. Otherwise the movie will kind of freak you out - not in a good way. The premise of using ... a hole without much knowledge is something I personally would never do, not even if I was paid a lot of money.

That all being said, the movie reaches its logical yet twist ending in quite the interesting fashion - with blood and other special effects being a big part of that journey. Can you dig it? (quite literally actually)

It didn't impress me from the get-go, but I still gave it a chance.

The chance was wasted. 'The Special' is long and empty, it really drags, and feels like there was enough story for like half an hour. The remaining run-time is just useless filler.

It is evident that the budget was minimal, but the acting could've still been better. The story is very simple and really did not impress me even slightly.

The commentary on addictions, happiness, and life experiences are blurry and not particularly thought-provoking.

In terms of horror, there's only one cool scene (the first kill),other than that there's no even good gore or gruesome deaths.

I at least had a hope that this could've been a good exploitation flick, like 'Deadgirl' (2008),but no, it is only disappointing.

Besides surprisingly well-done make-up (for the budget),there is nothing of interest in this film.

Just skip.
