Excision
Synopsis
At her high school, no one understands Pauline. Her mother, a fervent Catholic, doesn’t either. Only her little sister, suffering from cystic fibrosis, isn’t revolted by her obsession with surgery and dissections. The young woman tries to ignore the rejection, but beating inside her is a growing sexual desire, that she needs to satisfy no matter what. But her fantasies involve certain uncommon elements... Combining comedy, juvenile angst and surgical gore, and with a cast riddled with special guest appearances (Malcom McDowell, John Waters...), Excision has been confirmed as a perfect pop horror piece.
