The film looks great. The actors are decent. A lot of the dialogue is good by horror movie standards.
The film starts well but gets lost in a plot that moves too quick in the center and drags for the last 30 minutes.
Take it as you will.
Agreed, and it’s entirely due to the script. There’s no third act. The Soska sisters (who produced, wrote and directed this train wreck; they played the German twins who exchanged body parts) went for a BDSM “vibe”—and nobody else does sexy BDSM like we Krauts do! They just did not bother to put a full story together. The ending was tossed together in a Cuisinart. Apparently, Rose’s bf is pissed off by the body mods his gf PAID FOR, goes and tortures Beatress to get Mary’s address, attacks and stabs Mary below the sternum. She stabs him, seems to stitch herself back together albeit in a pool of blood. The cops arrive on a murder/attempted murder scene, with NO SEARCH WARRANT. Nonetheless, they go through Mary’s personal and professional effects, finding her catalog of her illegal operations. Had Mary lived, a fucking 1st-year law student would get that tossed out of court as inadmissible evidence acquired absent due process. As I see it, the Soska sisters got the vibe they wanted, then said, “Fuck it.”‘ Such a waste, I loved the first 2/3 of it. I’m glad I saw it.
Many male surgeons are douchebags. They got that right.
