"While attending college to become a surgeon Mary is already surpassing all her peers. However, as bills pile up Mary is offered a chance to make the money she needs and get a little bit of studying done altogether. Just when Mary decides to take a settling breath a party goes horribly wrong, now Mary dedicates herself to the world of body modification. "
"I can't recommend this enough. This is one of those movies where I wonder if anyone who gives it less than a stellar review watched the same movie as I did. I was captivated from the very beginning. I watched it at home and didn't allow myself a bathroom break until about halfway in. A very unique story and one of the few protagonists I've audibly cheered for while watching.
I feel like I can't give a proper content warning without spoiling the movie, but those who are very sensitive to things should beware. I do believe it's worth touching it out for, though. Again, it's a very unique movie and props to whoever came up with this idea, massive props to the actors for performances that really kept me invested."
"I normally don't write reviews for the movies I watch but..WOW. Was not expecting much and man did it deliver. Awesome main character, awesome plot, shocking twists and turns. Honestly one of the best movies I've ever watched! Be warned it has lots of gore, nudity, and body horror though!"
"Yes, the sound design in this movie is very bad. Yes, there's plot holes and a super skip worthy explicit sexual assault scene. And yes, there are some pretty cringe worthy moments. However, it's so gruesomely camp that you can't help but kind of enjoy. I'd definitely take an edible for this one. "
"Decent movie but terrible ending. I wanted to like this so bad. I ******* LOVE Jen and Sylvia but truthfully I'm a little disappointed. There were some great moments, but so many unanswered questions. I wish we got more insight on Mary's motives, feelings and relationships. A lot was really left unexplained that kinda lost me. Also wish she had undergone a more drastic character arc after her *incident*. She became a little edgy and sexy but she should have leaned into her aggressive impulses and vengeance. It just didn't stick the landing towards the end. Otherwise great acting from Mary. "
