User Reviews
ScaryFan88 – 7/10
“I loved the gritty atmosphere and the way the Soska sisters built up the tension. The body modification scenes were genuinely uncomfortable, and Katharine Isabelle was fantastic as Mary. It dragged a bit in the middle, but the ending left me thinking for days.”
GoreHound – 6/10
“The concept is cool and the practical effects are nice, but I felt the story could have been tighter. The psychological aspect was more frightening than the gore for me. It's worth a watch, but not the Sisters' best work.”
MidnightMovieMaven – 5/10
“I appreciated the feminist undertones and the twisted revenge plot, but I found the pacing uneven and some scenes went on too long. The surgery scenes were cringe-worthy, but I wish there were more scares. It's an interesting take on body horror, though.”
TerrorTina – 8/10
“I was completely absorbed from start to finish. The gradual descent of Mary into her darker side was mesmerizing, and the film's stylishly grim visuals really stood out. It's not perfect, but the unsettling vibe and Katharine Isabelle's performance made it a standout for me.”
