Phantom Limbs

About This Movie

Phantom Limbs is one of those quirky pieces that straddles the line between dark comedy and crime. The whole vibe is this odd blend where you’re chuckling but also slightly unsettled. Doreen and her brother find themselves in this bizarre situation with some dismembered limbs, and their interactions are laced with a weird levity while grappling with something pretty grim. The pacing is offbeat, giving it an almost whimsical feel despite the material. The practical effects are surprisingly effective, adding to the absurdity without getting overly graphic. Performances are solid; you can tell the actors are having fun with the script. It’s not your typical crime caper, that’s for sure, and that’s what makes it distinctive.
