Highly Overrated But Still Good

disgusting, overrated, pointless

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I have seen some really bad movies in my life but I would have to say this movie was easily one of the top ten WORSE movies I have ever watched.I unfortunately watched it in it's entirety in the hope that it would get better,but no such luck.I can't believe someone actually took a camera and made this piece of garbage.If you took a mentally retarded student in an Intro to Film 101 class and asked him to make a film,there's a strong chance it would be better than this.It was one of the most (in no particular order and,by no means a complete list of adjectives) DUMB, STUPID, IDIOTIC, BORING, AWFUL, MEANINGLESS, POINTLESS, UNREALISTIC, GROSS and DISGUSTING films I have ever had the misfortune to view.Come on John,tell us how you REALLY feel about this movie.I kept hoping the necrosis would put a rapid end to the woman but no such luck.It took it's sweet time.Do not watch this movie unless you are extremely masochistic.If you choose not to heed my advice and decide to watch this movie,please comment and let us know how you feel about it.I would be curious to see other people's reactions to it.

If you are a true horror fan then you will love this. The film is about a girl who experiences a night of rough sex with her lover and then what follows is a truly disturbing few days where the girl goes through the process of her body rotting. Thankfully, this film isn't one of those films that is slow to start with but gets straight to the point and then takes the viewer on a journey where the girl goes from day to day getting worse and worse until her body can't take anymore and bits start to fall off. If you are lucky enough to own the DVD then I would recommend that you watch the behind the scenes feature but don't watch it first as it will spoil the film. The people that put this film together worked very hard and deserve you horror buffs to watch it. I didn't waste my time watching this and I don't think anyone else will.

The marketing would have you believe that 'Thanatomorphose' somehow resembled a David Cronenberg movie, based on how it's a 'horror' film about the human body (and the disgusting ways it can be mutilated). However, that is where the similarity ends. Cronenberg's films also had a story and engaging characters. This has neither.The two main characters spend so much time wandering round their apartment naked, you may be forgiven for thinking they're nudists. In fact... it gets a bit annoying in the end as there's clearly no reason for it all the time (like cleaning the flat in the nude etc). The story is about a woman whose body starts to slowly decay. Here's where the good make-up comes in, as it is pretty disgusting (about the film's only plus point). You may feel some sympathy for her if she was a bit more sensible. I imagine that if such a horrifying affliction descended on any one of us, the first thing we'd do is seek medical attention. She doesn't. Even when a friend comes calling and sees she's clearly unwell, she refuses to go to the hospital with him. Therefore we start to lose sympathy for her plight if she's clearly that stupid. Her boyfriend is not so daft - merely horrible. He's violent and a user - hardly hero material.If you're looking for various gross scenes, you'll find them here. However, if you want talking, decent characters and a story, move along...http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

There is no reason on earth to sit through this God awful movie. I somehow made it to the end, with deep regrets for wasting my valuable time. A woman living alone in an apartment, where the entire film takes place; I guess the director had a very small budget, has sex with a very nasty man who treats her badly. After he leaves, the woman's health problems begin. With no explanation, a fingernail falls out, she vomits repeatedly and clumps of hair come off of her scalp. Black and blue marks appear all over her body. Instead of visiting a hospital, our heroine just wanders from room to room while naked, and nothing to remedy the situation. Maggot crawl from open sores and blood oozes out, landing on the hard wood floors. A couple of male friends appear and try to help, but they do not succeed. The music is loud and intrusive, and the flashes in between look like Nine Inch Nails videos from The Downward Spiral. Buy that album, but avoid this garbage.
