Review: Excision (2012)

Ok Excision is definitely going on the wish-I-could-unwatch-it list! A girl for some bizarre

reason is sexually excited by death and dying and we are treated throughout the film to her fantasizing about people being horribly killed and her getting the shivers..

That’s all the bad things said about Excision; apart from this it is a very funny black comedy, with a hell of a kicker ending that will leave you gasping for days after. Despite often very gruesome scenes, the film is very watchable – I just probably will never watch it again.

Very well directed with sharp editing, I can see why this film got rave reviews when it was first shown at Canne (despite a lot of critics walking out of it). In fairness most of the gruesome scenes are brilliantly filmed with a very serious attempt to present them as distinct pieces of art..
