Dating app horror with fangs is exactly the kind of premise that feels inevitable *after* someone executes it—but Williams resists the easy misogyny angle and actually goes somewhere weirder, which is the only reason this trope-heavy setup doesn't feel like autopilot.
A competent genre exercise that understands its lineage in body-horror and romantic comedy misdirection, though it doesn't quite break the formal ground or tonal precision that would elevate it beyond well-executed pastiche.
The precision here lives in the micro-beat where attraction flips to predation—there's a single moment of performance or editorial timing that makes you genuinely unsure if this woman is the threat or the punchline, and that ambiguity carries the whole eleven minutes on almost nothing.
