Full Plot Details

Inexplicably, a lively young woman is slowly dying. What started as a rash and a grotesque dark bruise, it keeps spreading, and, even though she still holds on, a terrible scourge is eating her alive from the inside. Now, her job at the hospital, her friends, and her love life have all become fractions of a once-regular life, as, sooner or later, her body will blemish from the blooming flowers of decay, and the stigmata of an unfathomable punishment that demands a transcendental change. Little by little--as the festering wounds claim the remaining flesh--the woman finds herself reduced to a mere fragment of her former self, with a few grim Polaroids being the only remnants of her existence. Inevitably, before Death's omnipotence, any resistance is futile, as the feeble and malleable flesh succumbs to life's ultimate truth: what was once alive, undoubtedly, shall perish.

User Review - 8/10 by Jacob ZHow does one review a film like Thanatomorphose? It's not a film you can really categorize . It doesn't follow any logic, just the nightmare fueling imagery and bleak atmosphere it creates. It's simple, a woman has empty sex and then literally rots to death. That's it. However, the whole experience is unforgettable, even if you might want to forget it. It's gruesome and depressing and I couldn't stop watching it. It's unbearable in it's dread, and the makeup effects are disgustingly brilliant. I can only recommend it to fans of experimental horror with strong stomachs. Oh, and I could never watch it again.
User Review - 6/10 by Pamela DTHANATOMORPHOSE (2012) independent WRITTEN BY AND DIRECTED BY: Éric Falardeau FEATURING: Émile Beaudry, Eryka Cantieri, Roch-Denis Gagnon, Simon Laperrière, Pat Lemaire, Karine Picard, Kayden Rose, David Tousignant GENRE: HORROR TAGS: body metamorphosis, sodomy RATING: 6 PINTS OF BLOOD PLOT: In this low-key, avante-garde shocker, a young woman struggles to cope with a hemorrhagic flux which turns her into a living corpse. COMMENTS: Wow! so disgusting! Thanatomorphose takes its title from a French word for visible post-mortem decay. In the film, Laura (Kayden Rose) is a slacker, wannabe artist who lives an otherwise quiet existence, accented by a few parties with her 20-something acquaintances, and rough sex with her misogynist boyfriend. With no clear cause, Laura slowly succumbs to some dreadful, Ebola-like condition which begins with mysterious bruises. Before long, her fingernails come off, her teeth loosen, and she's upchucking and urinating blood. Inexplicably, (though perhaps a degree of mental derangement is a symptom of her mysterious malady) she resists seeking medical treatment. Instead, Laura prefers to isolate herself in her tiny apartment as the disease runs it course. She's subject to frightful nightmares, visual disturbances and hallucinations. Laura's boyfriend and another suitor don't seem particularly alarmed by her transformation, choosing instead to take advantage of her as a sexual receptacle instead of rushing her to the emergency room. Thanatomorphose's plot is nearly non-existent; we follow the course of Laura's collapse and her transformation into a living, rotting corpse. Laura bounces and jiggles about her apartment, usually full-frontally nude. Laura makes eggs and bacon, Laura goes uses the toilet. Laura masturbates, even as her body is literally falling apart. Despite a storyline that is linear in the extreme, Thanatomorphose is captivating. The utterly bizarre nature of Laura's ordeal is so puzzling and out of this world that her metamorphosis into a still-animated cadaver, complete with squirming maggots, is somehow engrossing. Perhaps it's the film's direct, almost quietly pensive presentation. While much of what we see suggests ideas about our intimate relationships with our own bodies, those ideas must come from inside us, as the film makes little philosophical headway on these themes. Thanatomorphose is reminiscent of efforts such as The Fly (1986), Contracted (2013, reviewed here several weeks ago) in which a woman is similarly devoured by a rotting disease. Thanatomorphose's morbid physiological theme also brings to mind to the artful French body disassociation film, Dans ma peau (aka In My Skin, 2002), in which a woman hallucinates disembodiment of her limbs as she slowly consumes herself, and to the necrophilia shocker, Deadgirl (2008) in which two teens discover an undead mental patient strapped to a gurney, and use her as a sex slave. Thanatamorphose takes the horror of David Cronenberg style, gruesome body metamorphosis, isolates it, and distills it into the focal point of an entire film. Well executed claustrophobic cinematography, and the cloistered, dark interiors of Laura's tiny flat intimately draw us into her decadent odyssey. There's no humor, no camp, and no comic relief. While odd and experimental, Thanatamorphose more or less holds together and sustains itself. The filmmakers pull off their bare-bones premise with macabre style, good timing and editing, and some spectacularly gruesome makeup effects. The Ick! factor is through the roof on this one!
User Review - 6/10 by James AThe main character lives alone, and seems to find herself empty, despite having some friends and the company of some unsavory men. One of whom is a super-douche, the other who seems to be kind-hearted, but suffers from personal weakness that us men so often have a hard time resisting. She is suppressed by her mounting loneliness and frustration almost as much as the physical condition that consumes her. Graphically impressive, with little dialogue, and some strange "indie" cutaways that reminded me of "The Ring" meets "James Bond Intro". I will rate this one as Fresh, because the graphic and stomach-turning visuals are very well connected to the psyche and spirit of the main character.
User Review - 6/10 by Bruiser BLa tipa está pudriéndose en vida y aún así le quedan ganas de masturbarse y tener sexo. Película asquerosa y vomitiva.
User Review - 6/10 by Amy HSlow yet disturbing movie. It does make you wonder what the hell is going on, but I think you are aren't suppose to think that but just watch it and feel it. Gross out! But I wouldn't think it's a great movie.
User Review - 4/10 by Mohd SThis one left me speechless. It was grotesque. As a horror movie fan, I would have thought it would it would be more fun to watch. It wasn't.
User Review - 2/10 by Vladislav KWTF did I just watch?! Yes, it was gory. But why? What was it about?! A girl rotting? That's it? Why was she rotting? Why make a movie about that?? For gods sake ...
