Quick Review: A tastefully-crafted genre hybrid with nifty use of color and settings, but also a thematically unique one, which explores a weird obsession in a stuck-in-your-throat uncomfortable, if mesmerizing way, "Swallow" kicks off as an unsettling horror with potentially grisly results, then shifts into a feminist break free thriller, and finally ends as a tense family drama, with Bennett giving a nuanced portrayal of an oppressed, lonely and disturbed, yet undaunted pregnant young woman.
