Since its world premiere at Toronto last September, we’ve had two very opposing reviews for CBS Films’ Afflicted, which is now in theaters and on VOD platforms.
In the film, two best friends see their trip of a lifetime take a dark turn when one of them is struck by a mysterious affliction. Now, in a foreign land, they race to uncover the source before it consumes him completely.
Mike Pereira says the film is well crafted, but would have made a better short. The Wolfman explained in his positive review that Afflicted is like a horror version of Chronicle. You can read either review by clicking the aforementioned links.
