With Breeder (2020) Jens Dahl, who wrote Pusher, elevated a rather predictable schlock / grindhouse offering to something decent. Yes, the acting "ran" out, but as it started off decent, I tend to blame the script for that. The cinematography, editing, set design, gore effects and direction all punched way above the film's weight class. In fact, Dahl did such a good job at setting up the film, that he might have created expectations which were never the intention of the film. Seeing the film as a tightly directed homage to the grindhouse genre (as pointed out somewhere else) with some solid nods to early New French Horror, would be more in line with the true nature of the film.
