Plot – Spoilers:
A young woman lives alone and is visited on and off by her boyfriend who enjoys rough sex with her. Soon she starts noticing falling clumps of hair and bruises on her body. For some reason she doesn’t seek medical help and it is suggested that bruises are the afterglow of a session with her boyfriend.
But as the days roll by, she begins to disintegrate. Literally. First her nails fall off, then her little finger and so on. The more she gets disfigured, the more her cravings for sexual acknowledgement from the men around her.
Thanatomorphose follows a premise that has also been tackled in Guinea Pig 4. Decomposition while alive. In Guinea Pig there is a comedic element, but here, it’s pure rotting misery.
It’s quite possible that the whole thing is a manifestation of her extreme self-loathing. For example, there’s a scene where the two men vying for her body are fed pieces of her flesh by an unknown person. Whatever, this is one of those rare gorefests featuring a good actor and memorable at that.
Love decomposition films ❤️
litterly lawrence oleander
A testament to the Canadian national health system.
Trash

If u think about it. Michael Afton basically went through this putrefaction process after being scopped in Sister Location
HOLY FUCK THAT WAS NOT A BAD MOVIE. BUT FUCK SHE FINALLY DIED. AND SHE WAS STILL MOVING WEB SHE WAS A skeleton fuck me that was stupid. But I actually enjoyed in the end

She’s so beautiful I can’t take it . . . It’s too much.
Masterpiece!!! perfect for this site
No flys wer armed in the making of this ear movie , none spotted, so bowlox!!!
it was fine ig ?? the lead was good but not great n the audio was kinda bad so i couldnt understand what they were saying that well (it also could be that eng inst my first language n im abit silly) .. besides that it was fun n it went by pretty quickly 🙂 perfect mix of gross n hot imo just needed a better budget
I really thought she was going to still stand up and move until the last second. This bitch wouldnt die already.
Life is hard
Iubitul tipei seamana cu Srdan Todorovic ,din Srpski film.
The movie itself is not bad. The Message behind it, is really good. The Actress is also good. But I think the Movie is just disgusting.
Alors, quand il est sorti j’ai adoré. Je l’ai vu en salle. La métaphore de la dépression. Je l’ai regardé avec un pote qui lui s’est fait chier.
So when it came out I loved it. I saw it in theaters. Depression metaphor. I watched it with a friend who pissed him off.
Merci, thank pour ce site.
but why…
Fantastic, loved it! My kinda movie! Could actually feel her physical, emotional & physical pain, smell her rancid flesh. Great makeup & special effects.
A film about transitioning. Not my cup of tea but if your part of the LGBT community you may enjoy it. 3/5 pronouns.
muy mala
lol you know movies like this makes you disgust of the opposite sex XD i will never do it without condom and even that is not safe enough in certain circumstances.
it’s gotta be the mould from the ceiling .
i can literally smell this movie,nothing else smells like decomp,very specific. k you can tell she got in right after she got out.her fucking pants still have the lines from being folded which wouldn’t be there after moving in them and actually wearing them.about the nail thing why did he get the damn blood on the walls it’s annoying.i stepped on a screw,which is worse,when i was 9 and it hurt and it felt like my damn foot was on fire.my mother told me to go and get my father from the garage in the middle of the night so it was dark and i was running so i stepped on that screw quite enthusiastically lol the whole thing went in and i was bleeding like a pig it’s like if you took a shower in the shoes except it’s blood it was fucking drenched lol anyway i didn’t go to the hospital cuz “you’re not gonna die “ lol i really didn’t die so it’s whatever but not a big deal i guess?lol.i like the soundtrack but that’s about it the movie is fucking boring .wtf “please stop” and not even a second later she goes and grabs his dick ????.wtf is wrong with is ass,looks like wrongly made dough ew. she’s past the sack of potatoes look,now she’s a hippopotamus. that kitchen fall was the epitome of dramatic ????.is the process of making dough called making dough cuz if it is that’s shocking .right,she’s has evolved once again… Read more »
Idea was good. But overall it needed a higher budget. Acting was sometimes very bad and stopped me from getting attached. I couldn’t care less for the main character. She was flat from beginning, so i’ve just seen someone rotting without caring for her.
Probably would’ve still hit it up and to the point she just outright melts ;}
I agree this whole movie is a metaphor for mental health. Slowly, or as the movie presents- Fast deteriorating mental health that is reflected on her outside appearance. However that being said the amount of time is screamed at my phone “BITCH! Go to the fucking doctor!” was too much lol, But nonetheless i understood what the movie represents.
lol surpised to hear people talk québecois in this movie.
I’ve tried to watch this one twice before. Had to turn away or skip through it. Last time I made it through. I’m not surprised to see it here. Great site to find those effed up films.
I don’t really know what to say about this one. It’s not necessarily bad, just quite boring. I get the whole mental health allegory, but there are so many things that feel… Off. I don’t know how to put this into words.
I liked the final sequences though. Maybe if the whole movie was like the last 15 minutes I would have enjoyed it.
I hope what I wanted to say is clear, even if I very much feel like it isn’t ahah.
even if your body is falling apart you still cant get an appointment at the hospital because of bloody Covid!
but her art work should do well
Hmmmmmmm
An exercise this one… Compellingly good not essential but the lead woman was very good. Is it an allegory for mental health I don’t know.. the sculpture head is certainly allegorical… A dark miserable yet compelling film.
I completely agree with what Keely said in their review above: this is an allegory of the main character’s deteriorating mental health. The gore is on point, the story heartbreaking. Not a great movie, but it seems to have resonated with me.
damn bro thats tuff
This film is an endurance test, some will make it and some will not. I can only compare it to Marian Dora’s ” Carcinoma ”, although in my opinion this film is worse as far as bodily fluids are concerned. Piss, Shit, Gore, Vomit are plentiful here as well as lots of maggots. If this not your cup of tea, stay well away. If yes, then enjoy.
why?
I thought this movie was very smart, hear me out. Thanatomorphose is not a movie about a woman LITERALLY rotting. The ‘rot’ is supposed to be a metaphor for mental illness. In the beginning (and throughout) we see her unhealthy and abusive sex life, which we can assume is part of what ails her. Symptoms of mental illness are direct parallels to her rotting body. She quite literally puts herself into her art, she is hungry for sex to make her feel better, loses her job (possibly from avoidance), and even becomes too ill to get out of bed. You may have been asking yourself, “why didn’t she go to the hospital?” Sometimes people with mental illness, despite being in a critical and severe state, tend to invalidate their problems and try to patch themselves up all alone.
What the fuck did I watch lmfao
Lmao Terrible movie….
