Thanatomorphose - Comments & Tips

So I put that one on my watchlist due to some interesting sounding reviews. I was a bit reluctant due to the very graphic stills avaiable but if it isn''t '"mean'" ultraviolence I can deal with it. Anyways, this should have been a short film - at best. There isn''t any plot here and it''s even predictable at times when it doesn''t play the artsy card. It''s raison d''être seems only to be shocking (which it isn''t). Having a (unrealisticly) decomposing woman calling a guy over only to want him to fuck her seems really dumb. Not even the special effects are that great which the editing and often out of focus camera doesn''t add any value to. I can imagine that this was inspired by either some death metal cover art or Merzbow''s Venereology which would explain the noisy inbetweens.

An extremely heavy, bizarre and sick body horror that is difficult to even watch, as it is a truly nauseating and tense experience. The story is simple and to the point, it takes place in an apartment and has some surreal interludes, the focus is on the moment and everything that happens in that period. The make-up and practical effects are outstanding, creating distressing scenes with absurd realism, you can even imagine the smell of the environment, it's very disturbing.

I fell asleep watching this. Barely any talking about the body horror is so slow. I read a movie explained online and I still have no idea what is going on. Uses overtop sick imagery but honestly no idea what plot even is. Don't watch or waste time just watch something else a different body horror of that genre aiming for. Actually hurts eyes to over way filmed and sudden rasp change in certain scenes.

At 2x it felt super slow.
