Excision (2012)

Thanks for the memories!

Such a frustrating disappointment

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This movie is kind of an odd one. Has a decent cast that includes John Waters and Malcolm Malcolm McDowell. The overall quality of it varies from decent to looking like lighting out of a student film. The storyline I don't think I can explain without spoiling the plot.But the real enjoyment I got out of this bizarre movie is from AnnaLynne McCord. She is dressed down considerably in this compared to her on 90210. I found her captivating in this movie. She's unhinged, sexually inappropriate and an outright sociopath at times. But it's the way she pulls off all this with a such joy and not caring what anyone thinks of her that just makes this movie rise above being a bargain bin indie film.The other stuff like the gore etc is fine but not really shocking and doesn't have anything to do with the overall story. I'd say watch it for a fun performance but don't expect anything great in terms of plot.

what a weird and wonderfully acted film, acting was above par for a film of this genre, story line was easy to follow and somehow delicious to watch as the angst and delusional qualities of the main character unfolded, it does have humor blackest at best but there nonetheless.the story tells of an 18 student with delusions of medical excellence and somewhat of an anomaly in her school year and at odds with her family especially her mother (play superbly by tracy lords)yes that tracy lords.not sure how to categorise this film ,not out and out horror not a black comedy but maybe a bit of both . good watch would recommend it gave it 8/10

This movie is drawn-out and ends with the character trying to perform surgery without the proper equipment. Cut my sister open with a kitchen knife? Sure, why not. May as well have the entire thing littered with her sexual fantasies about dead bodies that are somehow animated, too. Socially awkward girl turned into a killer because she wants to help her sister. Alright then. Explain how she didn't get any diseases from licking that roadkill bird blood too while you're at it. Honestly if I could give it less than one star, I would. I felt like I just wasted an hour and a half of my life watching Bob get whined at for trying to be supportive. The only good parts of this movie were when the sex ed teacher had to read out awkward questions. Don't waste your time. There's more gore in My Little Pony.

Sorry it took me so long to get around to this film. I will admit that the fact that Traci Lords was in the film put it on the back burner. Big mistake. "Excision" is a shocking entry into the world of horror. "Carey" fans will be pleased as AnnaLynne McCord delivers a stunning performance in what is sure to become a cult classic that catapults mother and daughter relationships to a new and chilling level. Fans of this genre of theatrical art will be satisfied by "Excision's" attempt to deliver more than just blood and gore as it discusses the intricate weaving of an estranged daughter's fight to regain her mothers love. My apologies to Miss Lords for underestimating her, this was an excellent vehicle choice.
