Story: You just live your life, doing your thing. Suddenly, you’re attacked! By things you can’t see. Because they’re inside you. BRAIIIIIINS!

Scares: Aplenty. You may never want to eat, drink or go anywhere ever again.

Splat factor: Tons, but it’s all CGI. But it’s based on real life occurrences, so eek! And let’s not forget real life “stool samples”, lung fluid, spinal taps…. Blergh.

Closing scene “shocker”: Thankfully, no. Things are nicely tied up at the end of each episode. Bonus: there are tips and information on how to avoid infestation. *shudder*

Remake, Sequel or OG (Original Ghoul): This is an Animal Planet series, so it’s…repeating?

Trick or Treat?: Oh man. I saw this on Netflix, and watched…and got hooked…and have spent the last few days freaking out.

Rat lungworm. Maggots. Anisakis worms. Scabies. Roundworm. Leeches. Just typing these out gives me the itchies. But the show itself is a freak out of epic proportions. Scientists and doctors come on to explain what, how and why, but the scary feeling just hangs on. Like a hookworm.

Wanna put everyone off their Halloween candy? Here you go. Just make sure that you can justify everything you serve your guests. Because after this? There’s gonna be questions. Now if you’ll excuse me, I feel a little queasy….

Score:  out of 5 pumpkins.
