I almost gave up watching this film because of the blood and the entire idea of cannibalism.  But as I begin to see through the lines,  there is a vital message  for all regarding addiction, as a whole. We all have our addictions but the manner of control and  resolution  is what matters more.  As depicted in the film, the youngster had a hard time fighting from his monstrous addiction because his system has gotten used to it.  Had there been someone to help him,it would have a rather diferent ending.  I noticed there was no family or parents around him.   Nonetheless,  Hlodversson's acting was commendable and the musical scoring is laudable.
