Very well executed

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I just finished watching this movie and was entertain from beginning to end. The whole process of human decomposition and what brings a person to allow it to happen rather than seek help always catches my attention. Well, not all movies. Some movies are not able to make a film like this interesting or engaging while not telling or explaining much. For a low budget film, the cinematography was fine. The acting is decent and the story line crystal clear without much need for dialogue. The makeup artist did a great realistic human decomposition process on the actor. He/she must have seen it happen on a real cadaver. I can testify on that because i dealt with a few of them in my line of work. I say give it a chance. I think you will enjoy it. Just make sure you are not eating while watching it.

A couple has sex. As the guy is about to leave, he steps into a nail and bleeds all over the place. The girl takes care of the injury. She is an artists living in a small apartment working on something that looks like a head sculpture. She goes to bed. On the ceiling is some rot that looks like female private parts. She pleases herself and develops a rash on her inner thigh. She looses some of her hair. When she showers the next morning she has some hematomas. One of her finger nails comes off. That evening she hosts a party for her lame friends. One of the guys there has the hots for her. Her guy gets jealous and confronts her later and forces her to aggressive sex. Later at night she wakes up and vomits blood on him. He leaves and she stays alone for several days as her hematomas grow larger. She vomits more frequently. When the guy who is interested in her stops by to visit she's looking in serious bad shape. Nonetheless she's horny and performs a sex act on him and again ends up vomiting. The guy wants to take her to the hospital so she kills him.While her body continues to waste away, she has nightmares, but just accepts her condition. Her ear comes off, her finger breaks off, her entire body is becoming necrotic. Her joints start separating, but she just stores the body parts in jars or glues them back. Later she uses duct tape to tape herself together. At this point maggots are coming out of her body. Her guy shows up but she kills him instead. Her decline continues.That's all there is to Thanatomorphose--a woman's body completely degrading. There's very little dialogue and if there is any it's completely insignificant. We never find out what's causing her condition. The rot on the ceiling may be of significance. It too expands as her condition worsens Her nightmares were filmed in some awful 80s visual effect. What bothered me the most though was how dark this movie was filmed. In horror movies no on ever bothers to turn the lights on. These people are perfectly happy to spend their lives in darkness. Here, the girl even covers up the windows so during the few scenes filmed during the day we don't get to see much either.On the good side though, this movie does get to you, after all, you're watching an hour and a half of decomposition. And this isn't something you're going to see in any other movie. So the director deserves some kudos for going through with the idea. It even makes you think about death a little. The effects are pretty good. Occasionally she looks burned rather than necrotic, but the final scene is excellent and reminded me of the the goriest movie ever Bone Sickness. For a lower budget extreme horror movie, Thanatomophose works.

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/

I simply cannot believe this movie rates a 5.6 when it honestly only deserves a rating of 0.6 Take it from me, this movie is absolute trash! No dialog! No plot! No Acting! Pretty much NO anything! 100 minutes of a woman basically running about naked in her home with her flesh rotting off her and making no attempt to visit a hospital. Are you kidding? Oh and she has a dropkick boyfriend that only comes over for sex and there's a few shots of his junk as well. The cameraman seems to take much pleasure in focusing in on filming these so called actors junk. I would have been better off spending the 100 minutes I did watching this in rearranging my sock drawer instead.
