Excroissance

I suffer with depression and anxiety and self esteem issues and etc etc, so the lesson of accepting how you feel and just treating yourself kindly is one you learn to be able to cope with these issues, and this movie does a great job of giving us a visual representation of this idea with a fun horror flare.

It has funny moments, gross moments and many relatable moments. It's not particularly scary, it's more of a bizarre fever dream kind of experience.

Either way: Would I watch this again? Yes.

Would I recommend it? Yes, to those who aren't too serious or can't suspend belief.

Will you miss anything by skipping this movie? I'll conservatively say yes, it has a fun twist and could help people who have yet to learn how to handle mental and emotional troubles.

Characters? They were all fine I thought, no one too annoying or anything. My only huge peeve was the main character taking what felt like forever to go to the doctor about the nasty thing developing on her side XD

Was it interesting? Yes, I thought it was. Nothing wild, but enough to enjoy.

Thought provoking? Yes, definitely a window to our modern stresses and how we neglect those injuries.

I liked it.

I feel very happy for all the people giving this movie bad ratings, because they obviously never struggled with any mental health problems. If you have, this movie is very relateable and most of all funny. This is first and foremost a comedy, not a horror movie. A comedy about trauma, about mental health issues, about dealing with that constant voice in your head telling you you are a human piece of doodoo. It's not for everyone because it's pretty campy. I thought it was hilarious. Many have said that the movies conclusion is stupid but it is not. It is a very good metaphore for how to deal with your inner demons. So if you did not get that, good on you. Here's hoping you never will.

This movie was interesting. It wasn't bad, per say, but it definitely wasn't good, either. The synopsis had me intrigued but I can see why it was listed as a "horror/comedy". The acting was off and on, the characters didnt feel original, but the plot was unique. I was interested just because I wanted to know what would happen in the end but after I finished it, I felt like I had just wasted my time finishing the last half of the movie. It wasnt a good ending nor a bad ending, it was just... there. Im giving it 4/10 because the plot was unique, the cinematography wasn't bad, but the acting and execution could have been a lot bettet.

This movie truly made me ugly cry. I have Borderline Personality Disorder, in other words I have this disgusting, ferocious "appendage" that feeds me lies and drains me of all my energy. But here is the catch, it's all happening inside my head!

This film is a true representation of the depression, paranoia, and anxiety that accompanies the disorder. I often feel like I grow weaker as my illness grows stronger and forever tied to it.

Unresolved childhood trauma, especially with the relationship with her mother had me sobbing. I want to ask her to watch it, maybe she'll get to understand me. Wishful thinking.

So I started watching this movie at the recommendation of someone.

I stopped the movie 10 minutes in and rang them and asked them if I should keep going because it seemed weird.

They pushed me to continue and I'm glad I did.

It's is weird but it's original which is hard to find these days.

Your probably could describe it as "artsy".

It has its "giggle" type moments but I wouldn't say it was a comedy.

I definitely recommend watching it, it has a good message at the end and I kinda think it's sweet in a sense.

To love and care for yourself even when it's hard and all you want to do is tear yourself down.
