Love this movie so much actually. It made it to my top 4 on letterboxd. I haven't changed that in years.
Anyway, at first I was unsure about this piece but after finishing it, I really like it :3

Final blood eel concepts for the film Iron Lung I had the opportunity to work on! She's such a beast and I absolutely adore her! I will be posting much more in the near future!

This post I just saw on facebook that hits the nail on the fucking head! 🔥 www.facebook.com/Rahitya1/pos... #IronLung #IronLungMovie #markiplier #CosmicHorror #horror #indiehorror #horrormovies #indiefilm #EldritchHorror

screenshot of a post on facebook from a creator by the name "Rahitya" it reads: Iron Lung Is Doing Exactly What It Promised — And That’s Why It Works
Iron Lung is getting hit with a wave of 1–2 star IMDb reviews, and a lot of the complaints boil down to this:
• “I couldn’t tell what was real.”
• “Nothing is fully explained.”
• “It’s confusing and disturbing.”
That’s not a flaw. That’s eldritch horror.
This movie takes place in a metal coffin at the bottom of an ocean of blood. It’s supposed to feel suffocating, disorienting, and unknowable. The fear comes from what you don’t understand, not what’s spoon-fed to you.
Iron Lung doesn’t hold your hand. It doesn’t pause to explain the lore. It doesn’t stop the tension so you can feel comfortable. That’s the genre. That’s the point.
And honestly? Respect to Markiplier for committing to that vision instead of sanding it down into something safe and easily digestible. If you want every idea explained out loud and neatly packaged, there are plenty of mainstream horror shows that do exactly that.
You don’t have to like Iron Lung. That’s fine.
But calling it “bad” because it does exactly what it advertised is missing the intent.
There are valid criticisms to be made about the film.
Being an uncompromising, claustrophobic eldritch horror experience isn’t one of them.
