    Not for everyone I guess

    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.

    Mental Illness comes to life!

    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.

    more allegory than horror

    Hannah (Hadley Robinson) is a young fashion designer struggling at work. She has a pain in her side and something is growing out of it. A creature out of her doubts emerges. She seeks help from a self-help group where she is befriended by Claudia (Emily Hampshire).

    This is more allegory than horror. It needs help to be more scary. Mostly, the creature is too campy or too cheap. It takes any realism out of the movie. It should be devastating body horror. Instead, I'm looking at it side eyed. To be fair, it's not trying to be camp. It has no humor to speak of. It would be better as a slug coming out of her body.

    6 for effort.

    Of course while watching this, I kept thinking about Basket Case and wondered if the director took some inspiration from it, or it just happened for the same idea to resurface after so many years.

    And just like in the case of Basket Case, I couldn't look away. Now the difference between these two is that the first relies on some gore and for those times, utter violence, while Appendance is trying to be smarter and even introduces a twist to this genre.

    If you want to judge Appendace all on its own, I think it's less fun, so definitely make time for Basket Case as well. 3 parts as I remember, but at least watch the first.

    For a solo Appendance appreciation, I do believe it is a solid effort, it is shocking without being gross or violent and it does keep you curious throughout its run time. So I definitely believe this should be seen by horror fans, as it comes out rather fresh, intriguing and even offers a free moral lesson.

    Watch it and you'll find out.

    Cheers!

    Weird Movie but I couldn't stop watching

    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.
