Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

grahamrwilliams-09130 what a weird and wonderfully acted film, acting was above par for a film of this genre, story line was easy to follow and somehow delicious to watch as the angst and delusional qualities of the main character unfolded, it does have humor blackest at best but there nonetheless.the story tells of an 18 student with delusions of medical excellence and somewhat of an anomaly in her school year and at odds with her family especially her mother (play superbly by tracy lords)yes that tracy lords.not sure how to categorise this film ,not out and out horror not a black comedy but maybe a bit of both . good watch would recommend it gave it 8/10

Meredith K If you're a fan of sexualized hyper-violence (you know who you are), then this movie is a great find. Pauline is funny, relatable, and obviously troubled in the goriest of ways. Even though her delusions get more sick as the film progresses, you're still always on her side a little bit. Also, her prayer scenes were comedy gold. I can't recommend her enough as a character, mental illness and all. She is similar to the title character in the movie May, but I think even better. It's surprising to me this movie is not more widely acknowledged as a gem.There are some gruesome (though not particularly believable) scenes, so it's definitely not for the faint of heart. But if you can handle your gore you should have no problem with this film.This movie could have just been a shock flick, but the writing made it so much more than that. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I adored this movie and I hope to add it to my personal collection asap.

ThiefOfStars In Pauline's fantasies she is beautiful, confident and strong. In reality, she is greasy, sullen and an outcast. The only person who shows her any kindness is her younger sister Grace, who is suffering from Cystic Fibrosis.Pauline has a form of blood-lust and has aspirations of one day becoming a surgeon, though she doesn't do well in school and goes out of her way to annoy her teachers and peers. The thought of blood sexually excites her and she thinks and dreams of it constantly. Her overbearing mother and apathetic father are oblivious to the extent of their daughter's problems and treat her with disgust and derision.When she overhears her mother describe her as "impossible to love" Pauline retreats further into her delusions and does the only thing she knows to prove her worth to her family.The much talked about ending is shocking but not just in the ways you'd be expecting. For me, the shock value doesn't come from her delusions but how calmly she succumbs to them.I think this film struck a chord in me because, whether intentionally or not, it highlights society's attitude towards mental illness in comparison to physical illness. The daughter suffering from a physical ailment is treated with kindness and sympathy while the daughter struggling with mental illness is ignored and treated as a burden. Grace is given the best in medical treatment, but when Pauline begs to see a psychiatrist, she is brushed off. It's a shame that the movie went to such extreme lengths to make Pauline so unattractive (actress AnnaLynne McCord is very pretty in real-life), almost making her look like a Neanderthal because it takes you out of the movie. I think there were more subtle ways to make her 'ugly.'

Spikeopath AnnaLynne McCord stars as Pauline, a disturbed high school misfit who has delusions of becoming a surgeon. Dominated by her over bearing mother, Pauline battles with her sanity and unhealthy obsessions.Superb, a teen based horror that's pungent with everything from necrophilia, growing pains, peer pressure, sexual anxiety, parental strife, mental illness and horror – real horror. Writer/director Richard Bates Junior does a brilliant job of filling an 80 minute movie with so many thematic smarts but never once over egging his bloody pudding. He gets excellent performances out of McCord and Traci Lords (as Pauline's mother), whilst the blending of surreal imagery via Pauline's dreams and the real world awkwardness – with some dry humour in the mix too – produces a picture that is in equal parts oddball and emotionally shattering.When Dead Ringers collides with Ginger Snaps, Excision will stay with you for days afterwards. 9/10
