Rot delivers a largely unsatisfying horror experience, hampered by uneven craftsmanship and weak character work.

While a few comments acknowledge occasional effective gore and brief moments of tension, these are outweighed by pervasive monotony. The cumulative effect leaves the film with limited replay value and little lasting appeal.
