Excision

About This Movie

Excision is a wild ride through the mind of a teenager who’s just not fitting in. Pauline, the main character, is such an oddball, and her obsession with surgery really sets the tone for this mix of comedy, drama, and horror. The pacing has this weird rhythm, oscillating between darkly humorous and deeply unsettling moments. The practical effects are pretty striking, especially in the dream sequences that dive into her psyche—definitely not for the faint-hearted. The performances, particularly by AnnaLynne McCord, are raw and compelling, capturing that adolescent angst and unsettling desire for acceptance. It’s a film that lingers with you, challenging perceptions of normalcy and what lurks beneath the surface.
