    Just Plain Torture

    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.

    Experimental horror movie not for the squirmish

    A young woman, living an oppressed life, starts rotting alive in her appartment. The effects are really gory and the psychological/alegorical aspect of the movie is interesting.

    There are parts that feel like a video clip of industrial bands that put me off, but, overall, really loved this one

    Graphic! Nothing more.

    First, I saw "Contracted". Loved that one, was drawn into it little by little, wanting to see more, to see where it is heading and the destination left me speechless.

    Afterwards, hearing that it might have been copied from one called "Thanatomorphose", which, was supposed to be even better, I was as happy as a horror fan can be. So thank you people for getting my hopes high! I'll be forever grateful to you! NOT!

    The movie is bad, it is just one bad movie. The plot as thin as it can get, the character depth is pretty much 0, dialogue missing, the actions, or lack of actions, amazing, overall, how can anyone say that this, is better than Contracted?!?

    I am truly amazed! Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge horror fan, since ever, seen hundreds of them and always crave for more, but not this, not this at all. And to be put in the horror section? Really? Why? Cause of the graphic content? It's somewhere between gore and torture porn. Seriously!

    Listen, and listen carefully: watch Contracted, chances are that you might really like that one, be pleasantly surprised and so on. This one right here, is slow, boring and heads to a direction with a wall at the end. Bad!

    Form over substance

    The craft of this film is undeniable well done. The problem isn't in the metaphor which it intends to dwell, but the simplicity of it. The premise of "a woman slowly rotting" it's too accurate. It is too slow. Once you get to the point that the depression of the character is symbolized by the external decaying of her flesh, you're stuck one and a half hours with the slowly reach to what you know will happen.

    Thanatomorphose

    Thanatomorphose was a very sick film to some people but to me it wasnt effective in that way and honestly i found its entire premise to be very boring and just plain mess.When you are watching this kind of films whos duty is just to gross out people then you must be prepared for it and i was but i just coudnt invest myself with our characters and story.This film will be a good watch only if you are huge fan of this kind of films and since im not i woudnt recommend this film to a normal people but weirdos may have a good time with it

    • Trivia
      In 2014, writer/director Éric Falardeau explained how he developed the idea and script for the film. "A few years ago, me and my ex-girlfriend were talking and making jokes about someone rotting from the inside. At the same time I was working over my master thesis about body fluids in gore and porn films. Little did I know that our small talk would merge with my studies. I then started putting ideas on paper and working on the script on an irregular basis (between my thesis, my day job and another film). The script became more and more personal, like a reflection of my inner self and my readings at that time of my life."

      (As himself): [Referring to the bruise] Where did you get that?

      (As herself): I don't know. It was there when I woke up this morning. Maybe it's just a spider bite...
