Leave your thoughts about Excision.
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanLike the lovechild of Carrie and Napoleon Dynamite, Pauline is the oddball hero of a truly impressive, eccentric teen horror. |
| AV ClubNoel MurrayThis is one of the damnedest "adolescent misfit" movies you'll ever see -- for those who can stomach the splatter, that is. |
| VarietyRobert KoehlerExcision is technically polished juvenilia that provokes without resonance. |
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressA dark comedy that may not quite be Lucky McKee's masterful May but should earn fans along the lines of Ginger Snaps and Teeth |
| The ListEddie HarrisonIt won't be to many people's taste, but for those with strong stomachs, Excision presents a strain of horror that's grounded in real life, and one with more potency that most conventional slasher/torture fare. |
| Observer (UK)Rachel CookeI liked this teen comedy-horror flick an awful lot. But then I'm warped. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoExcision isn't for the weak of heart or those hoping for a simple-minded watch, but can most certainly be a rewarding endeavor for any viewer needing a good character piece full of personalities worth a good psycho-analysis. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumChris BumbrayWhile it's more than a little sick, and will likely leave you queasy by the time the credits roll, EXCISION is nonetheless a truly unique horror ride into the scariest of all places- the mind of a teenaged misfit. |
| AV ClubNathan RabinExcision is a supremely nasty piece of work in the best way possible. |
| Screen-SpaceSimon FosterBates' piercing originality and keen eye for framing and ear for dialogue sets it own precedents, standing tall on the stooped shoulders of Pauline and her teen-dream bloodlust. |
