Apéndice

I suffer with depression and anxiety and self esteem issues and etc etc, so the lesson of accepting how you feel and just treating yourself kindly is one you learn to be able to cope with these issues, and this movie does a great job of giving us a visual representation of this idea with a fun horror flare.

It has funny moments, gross moments and many relatable moments. It's not particularly scary, it's more of a bizarre fever dream kind of experience.

Either way: Would I watch this again? Yes.

Would I recommend it? Yes, to those who aren't too serious or can't suspend belief.

Will you miss anything by skipping this movie? I'll conservatively say yes, it has a fun twist and could help people who have yet to learn how to handle mental and emotional troubles.

Characters? They were all fine I thought, no one too annoying or anything. My only huge peeve was the main character taking what felt like forever to go to the doctor about the nasty thing developing on her side XD

Was it interesting? Yes, I thought it was. Nothing wild, but enough to enjoy.

Thought provoking? Yes, definitely a window to our modern stresses and how we neglect those injuries.

I liked it.

I happened to stumble upon this 2023 horror movie titled "Appendage" by random chance. I had not heard about the movie, but it being a horror movie was sufficient to make me want to watch it. And I have to admit that the movie's cover and poster was actually interesting enough to catch my attention.

Writer and director Anna Zlokovic put together a script and storyline that proved to be rather unique and also entertaining. It is definitely a storyline unline anything I've seen before, so thumbs up for originality here. And I will say that the storyline was adequately strange and bizarre to prove to be all the more enjoyable.

The acting performances in "Appendage" were good. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble, but the actresses and actors did put on good performances and carried the movie quite nicely.

Visually then "Appendage" was okay. The special effects in the movie were adequate, but not really top notch effects. There certainly were room for improvement. However, the special effects worked as intended and that was good enough.

While "Appendage" proved to be watchable, enjoyable and entertaining, then I have to say that it is not a movie that warrants more than just a single viewing. But if you enjoy horror movies, then writer and director Anna Zlokovic's 2023 movie "Appendage" is certainly well-worth sitting down to watch.

My rating of "Appendage" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Of course while watching this, I kept thinking about Basket Case and wondered if the director took some inspiration from it, or it just happened for the same idea to resurface after so many years.

And just like in the case of Basket Case, I couldn't look away. Now the difference between these two is that the first relies on some gore and for those times, utter violence, while Appendance is trying to be smarter and even introduces a twist to this genre.

If you want to judge Appendace all on its own, I think it's less fun, so definitely make time for Basket Case as well. 3 parts as I remember, but at least watch the first.

For a solo Appendance appreciation, I do believe it is a solid effort, it is shocking without being gross or violent and it does keep you curious throughout its run time. So I definitely believe this should be seen by horror fans, as it comes out rather fresh, intriguing and even offers a free moral lesson.

Watch it and you'll find out.

Cheers!

This movie truly made me ugly cry. I have Borderline Personality Disorder, in other words I have this disgusting, ferocious "appendage" that feeds me lies and drains me of all my energy. But here is the catch, it's all happening inside my head!

This film is a true representation of the depression, paranoia, and anxiety that accompanies the disorder. I often feel like I grow weaker as my illness grows stronger and forever tied to it.

Unresolved childhood trauma, especially with the relationship with her mother had me sobbing. I want to ask her to watch it, maybe she'll get to understand me. Wishful thinking.

This movie was interesting. It wasn't bad, per say, but it definitely wasn't good, either. The synopsis had me intrigued but I can see why it was listed as a "horror/comedy". The acting was off and on, the characters didnt feel original, but the plot was unique. I was interested just because I wanted to know what would happen in the end but after I finished it, I felt like I had just wasted my time finishing the last half of the movie. It wasnt a good ending nor a bad ending, it was just... there. Im giving it 4/10 because the plot was unique, the cinematography wasn't bad, but the acting and execution could have been a lot bettet.
