The Forbidden Love

About This Movie

So, 'The Forbidden Love' is this strange blend of comedy and horror from 2009 that really goes for broke in its premise. A med student, kind of awkward and lost, ends up working in a mortuary and, well, he discovers he has an unusual attraction. The tone is all over the place—one moment you’re chuckling at the absurdity, the next you’re a bit creeped out. The practical effects are a highlight; they don’t shy away from the macabre, which adds a certain authenticity. The pacing is uneven, but it sort of works with the vibe. Performances are decent enough to keep you engaged, especially with the surreal situations. Definitely distinctive in its approach to taboo subjects.
