El monstruo dentro de mí

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.

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 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.

So I started watching this movie at the recommendation of someone.

I stopped the movie 10 minutes in and rang them and asked them if I should keep going because it seemed weird.

They pushed me to continue and I'm glad I did.

It's is weird but it's original which is hard to find these days.

Your probably could describe it as "artsy".

It has its "giggle" type moments but I wouldn't say it was a comedy.

I definitely recommend watching it, it has a good message at the end and I kinda think it's sweet in a sense.

To love and care for yourself even when it's hard and all you want to do is tear yourself down.

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.
