Alienated teen Pauline struggles with the pressures of fitting into high school, pleasing her mother and a burning desire to lose her virginity. With a grotesque curiosity for the darker side of life, Pauline is considered a social outcast by everyone around her. Enticed by flesh, she retreats into her own fantasies and hopes to become a great surgeon - that is, if she doesn't go insane first.

Excision Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
TMKluski If you want to see another repetitive, boring, CGI bloated movie, this masterpiece is not for you. However, if you want to (safely?) experience the terror of your not-so-average teenage girl whose suffering is severly inflicted on others and who is disturbed with serious psychosis, then look no more, you should definitely see this one.
jollylolly Watched it for 20mins and i was dozing off. just talk talk talk and no actions. so boring
Lucabrasisleeps I had high expectations while watching this movie. I did expect a straight forward horror movie. I was wrong about that. This was a black comedy for the most part.I was annoyed with the standard trope that appears in most movies nowadays of the dominating mother and the submissive father. I remember seeing a similar sort of theme done 13 years ago in American beauty. And ever since then, literally dozens of movies have used the same theme. The performance of Traci lords seems more of an imitation of what Annette benning did. Only less annoying though. On that topic, Traci lords has given a creditable performance, I was quite surprised. Annalynne mccord's performance is also pretty good. Her deadpan delivery and sulking expressions were funny to watch.I liked the affection between the sisters. That was refreshing to watch. I guess that is important anyway towards the end. Also there is genuine affection in the family even though towards the end, it all goes horribly wrong. And honestly the family is not that dysfunctional at all. The problems are purely with the girl and her fantasies.The dialogue is pretty funny and it keeps things interesting throughout. The dream sequences are interesting but I didn't think they were anything shocking, maybe they were trying too hard. There are some gory scenes in those fantasies but they didn't make much of an impact on me.Overall, I liked it somewhat but not too impressed.6/10
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
