One thing Covenant got right was, the gore. I have no idea how they managed to get away with a '15' rating for this here in the UK.

It was gloriously graphic. The

Anyone else really impressed with how hardcore the gore was? It's rare we see a mainstream, wide release film that really goes balls out for blood and guts. Think the guys involved in the practical SFX/blood/effects really earnt their paycheck.

How about rosenthal's head rotating in the pool? Very impactful  without being too overtly bloody (except for the frickin shot of the neo eating the body)
