Excision

2012, starring Annalynne McCord, Jeremy Sumpter, Traci Lords, based on a short film of the same name.

Pauline, an unattractive social misfit has psychosexual fantasies of becoming a successful surgeon, while battling her mother's controlling behavior.

Though uncomfortably disturbing to watch at some moments, Excision is a great film. Annalynne performs her hunchbacked, stubborn, intelligent character extremely well, and Traci masters the control-freak mother act. I absolutely love the strange dreams Pauline has. The stage and the makeup are pleasing to the eye. This has to be one of my favorite horror films of the past fifteen years. Mainstream audiences will think it's either the weirdest or the "dumbest" movie, but if you have a taste for movies with odd material not seen often then this movie is for you. 8/10.
