Storia
Pauline, an 18-year-old aspiring surgeon, struggles with her controlling Christian mother and caring for her younger sister Grace who has Cystic Fibrosis. Pauline's peculiar fantasies involve gruesome medical procedures intertwined with sexual undertones. Her classmates find her odd, and she feels misunderstood. To make her mother proud, Pauline tries to arrange a lung transplant for Grace from an unknown donor. Meanwhile, her disturbing dreams become increasingly intense, causing her to act out at school and alienate her peers further.
Riassunto
In 'Excision', first-time director Richard Bates Jr. presents a unique blend of horror, drama, and dark comedy focused on the tumultuous life of Pauline (AnnaLynne McCord). Struggling with her overbearing mother (Traci Lords) and the responsibility of caring for Grace (Ariel Winter), Pauline finds solace in morbid daydreams. The film explores themes of identity, mental health, and the complex dynamics within a dysfunctional family. Despite its limited release, 'Excision' gained attention for its bold exploration of taboo subjects and McCord's standout performance.
