He makesa pact with a demonic entitynamed Viggo but this isnt a Faustian tale of temptation or slow possession.
Adam isnt seduced or manipulated.
And once he has it, he doesnt hesitate to use it.

Viggo doesnt possess Adam in the traditional sense.
The two function almost like a tag team:Adam unleashes his fury, and Viggo amplifies it.
If horror anthologies are your thing but you want something darker than the norm, this is a must-watch.

What setsAdam Chaplinapart is this redefinition of thedemon archetype.
Instead, Viggo is a grotesque ally a manifestation of Adamsunchecked rage and emotional trauma.

Every wound is exaggerated, every scream drawn out, and every villain practically oozes with theatrical evil.
It’s a wonder they don’t have mustaches to twirl.
Heads dont just bleed they detonate.
Bones dont simply break they shatter.
Limbs bend in impossible ways, and the camera lingers lovingly on every agonizing second.
Adams descent isnt celebrated, however its mourned.
Hes not a hero;hes a man whos become a monster because he couldnt live with his loss.
This is grief given flesh and claws.
What truly givesAdam Chaplinits staying power is how it refuses to fit neatly into any box.
The film doesnt care about likability or subtlety.
