Hmmm. I was actually pretty disappointed in this for a couple of different reasons -
-- Rue Morgue made a HUGE buzz about the movie in last month's issue and labelled it "Feminist horror," which definitely had me very curious
-- With such a bizarre concept of an underground body modification surgeon, I thought that the movie opened the door for some seriously disturbing and interesting body horror themes and images...
But it fell short for me. I think that it suffers from being directed by two novice filmmakers whose buzz is bigger than their bite and, honestly, without a strong film around her, Katharine Isabelle's weaknesses show - She's really not that great an actress.
I guess I was expecting more body horror, interesting body modification concepts, and, quite frankly, to be shocked. But I wasn't. Also the ending was pretty awful and dissatisfying. Huge disappointed Meh.
