    This is definitely one that could be adapted into a full length feature. So well paced and acted. Has unlimited potential.

      Not to mention that it has (at least some) basis in reality, namely in the control and oversight over pharmaceutical agent and supplement quality. I mean, nothing is gonna do this. Still fun idea to play around with lol

      It kinda feels like attack on titan. A certain people group, when injected with a certain fluid, are transformed into mindless monsters, effectively killing the transformed person. The last name Akerman has special significance in the AoT world as well.

      Soon it will be a documentary, the way the country is going. Another mass slaughter today.......on a college campus this time. No motive really, just another disturbed hateful person armed with a weapon of mass destruction.......the American version of a mindless zombie. These insidences are increasing rapidly with no solutions in sight. The public seems to be going haywire with only two types of citizens left......predator and prey. One survivor, a teenager, commented about his generation of kids: "this is all we've ever known"! If that's not part of a horror story......

    Good horror will make us ponder what if scenarios. This one did just that.
    While the committee meeting may not have been exciting, the way that it was edited into the horror angle worked and was an interesting take. The shifting kept the engagement.
    The white armor suits looked good and the body dysmorphia shots worked as they were disturbing.
    The takes at the end could lead to some good discussion with others..
    Great work to all involved. Be careful out there.
    Peace.

When they had to take down the creature on the street, I felt bad...this began as a person who apparently took this medicine they obtained through a disreputable online site & this was the end result.
    How scary & saddening at the same time.

      No one says, that people turn into monsters because of unregulated pharmaceuticals, that's obviously metaphorical, but it is a fact that the risk of unknown and dangerous side effects is increased. Especially because people have small to no chance to know if the pharmaceutical has any interactions with others.

"unlicensed retailers" with jump cuts between those words, spooky music and monster shots. just my observation. the only thing missing would have been short jumpy clips from Joe Rogan talking about all the nootropics, etc. he takes. "I take Golden Brain Food" with spooky music, jump cut to crackling jumpy words "unlicensed retailers" jump cut to monster dying.
