Swallowed features great acting, especially from Malone, and a truly intense final act that must be seen to be believed. Read full review

Swallowed is an LGBTQ+ thriller that trades complexity for intimacy over a drug run gone horribly wrong. It's intense and thrilling at the right moments, capitalizing on authentic body horrors. Read full review

Swallowed has its fair share of darkness and nasty moments, but it seems afraid to go further.
I don't know if it was a budgetary or script decision, and it's not because that darkness implies a certain level of violence, but when you've already hinted at something more explicit, then go for it, because as a result it's inevitable to feel like the film is missing something else that could make it really stand out.… Expand
