Excision Reviews
Watching this feels like puberty.
This is a film that people are going to have strong opinions on, they’re either gonna love it or hate it. It’s worth finding out for yourself which side you are on. I’m on the love it side. It’s a masterpiece.
This could have been a good movie but it's clearly a low grade movie with some average acting. The lead does well, the rest are rubbish. There's really no development of the storyline. Honestly save yourself the time and skip this one.
It was a good idea, but the tone is inconsistent and thus confusing toward the end, and for that and other reasons related to character development, the ending felt unearned and insufficiently supported.
It's good. Hard for me to admit. Parts I don't like. But it gripped me. Seeing someone so psychologicaly ill is heartbreaking and terrifying. Some shocking imagery I wouldn't do but overall pretty worth it.
There are some horror elements here, but mostly it's a story about a weird teenage girl in a dysfunctional family. There's not much suspense or scares.
It starts off with a sexy, macabre wet dream sequence that set the tone for… really not much. A runty neanderthal looking pauline, who looks beautifully stylized for the cover of vogue when ever she has one of her ghoulish, carnal dreams but then wakes up to reality looking like the caveman in the Geico commercial. Those few and far between dream sequences are the only thing prominent in this slow moving story. Anna Lynne McCord confronts , defies and grunts. Is she odd? Yes, Is she awkward? Yes, psychotic and ready to do harm? Not really. The movie mostly plays like a dark parody, jumping from different visual styles and tones. Culminating to a tragic coerced rush ending that does seem to sit well and leaves you mostly unconvinced.
A visceral assault on the senses. When an outcast teenage girl, with delusions of becoming a surgeon, descends further into isolation, it only furthers her ambitions and delusions of grandeur. Top that off with nightly dreams of psychosexual fantasies, and you have a walking time-bomb. It's a coming of age horror flick, that doesn't pull it's gruesome punches.
Predictable but entertaining. Ending was a little cheap but eh
Not really a horror but it has a shocking ending thats gory. The story is definitely outta left field.
Certainly not what I expected. Very much a teen misfit misfit film rather than a horror. Quite well played all round but didn't quite grab me like it should of.
I thought the movie was pretty good considering it wasn't a big box office smash. It has pretty good Rotten Tomatoes reviews including mine if you like horror films this isn't too bad I recommend it
Annalinn McCord gives the best performance I've seen in a horror movie since Chloe Grace in let me in. It's what carries this movie, without it, the movie could easily be dismissed
I loved the performances of every actor. The end scene is overwhelming. Great horror movie where everyday life becomes the most horrific nightmare.
By far one of the most bizarre and disturbing movies I've ever watched. I like to think Im somewhat of a horror connoisseur so for me to say this movie is disturbing... That is really saying something. I've seen the goriest of gory movies and it's not even the gore that is the most disturbing in this movie... it's the context. While this isn't necessarily one of the"scariest" movies I've ever watched I would definitely recommend it to any horror aficionados purely for the shock and awe value.
An exceptionally bizarre and affecting little piece of body horror and teenage dysphoria. Moments of piercing honesty are consistently punctuated by those of equal insanity. How I've never heard of the lead actress prior to stumbling across this on a streaming service is a mystery to me. And let's be honest, if you've got Traci Lords, Malcolm MacDowell, AND John Waters playing parts in your film, it's at least worth a look-see.
