"I am only giving this movie a positive rating because I can honestly say that I have NEVER seen anything like it. Although this is described as horror, I would describe the film as fetish suspense. The storyline is about performance art and scientists practicing in a future world in which no pain exists, and the human body has started to mutate new organs. In a world where no physical pain exists, people desire to feel pain just to feel human. I don't understand what drew Viggo Mortensen to this script. Usually his acting has some warmth and grittiness. This is certainly a departure. Warning: ⚠️ Scenes of female nudity."

"Well, I made it through the whole thing. Talk about taking masochism to a whole new level. The squeamish might need a lil alcohol or something to endure but the movie was overall... Interesting? Hard to rate as it wasn't really entertaining in a conventional sense, so I'd say it falls into the artistic camp of things."
"Disappointing… have to go with a thumbs down. I’m bothered by the handling of secondary characters and subplots… like the director threw unfinished ideas on screen just to add “depth” to the film. Also, were the Recovery Bed and Breakfaster contraptions meant to look like 80s retro effects? Cos, they looked silly."
"Set in a dystopian future, where physical pain no longer exists, two performance artists perform surgeries for audiences, removing one of the duo's organs. I'd add an advisory for the squeamish here, but the CGI is so bad I wouldn't even worry about it.
The 80's would have allotted this film much more forgiveness. As it is, I felt it missed the mark in it's morality-based subplot and the performance art itself.
Maybe The Beast (2024), also starring Lea Seydoux, will provide some redemption."
