Appendage

This movie will impact people that have experienced child trauma or abuse and are left with the nasty demon stuck in their head. Those who do the work and get therapy learn the bpd or anxiety or depression issues are there from bad parents or childhood.

This film is an allegory about how if you feed the gremlin in your head it will grow and grow (by allowing negative self talk and ignoring your past). It's really effective and has a good message.

It's also a horror movie (kind of). I enjoyed it, not just for the allegory and how it impacted me but also because all the actors did a fantastic job. I've spent a year in therapy and a few more trying to kill my gremlin, and just like this movie it's not easy!!! 6.6/10.

Appendage is a very strange and disturbing story of how depression can effect a person. In this movie, Hannah's depression and inner thoughts come together in a very strange way. This creature-esque body horror shows an intense story of how one can come out of depression with the help of people are them if you let them and if they listen. This film takes a complete turn and it's one you're not expecting which is so well done for this movie. The pace for this movie is good for a movie of this type and for a Hulu original movie it's definitely worth the watch. If you're coming into this expecting to be scared though, you're watching the wrong movie. This movie is disturbing and disgusting and will have you cringing at some of the most disgusting moments. I'm giving this movie a 3.5/5 for its perfect pacing but was a more basic story that comes together well.

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.

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.

I feel very happy for all the people giving this movie bad ratings, because they obviously never struggled with any mental health problems. If you have, this movie is very relateable and most of all funny. This is first and foremost a comedy, not a horror movie. A comedy about trauma, about mental health issues, about dealing with that constant voice in your head telling you you are a human piece of doodoo. It's not for everyone because it's pretty campy. I thought it was hilarious. Many have said that the movies conclusion is stupid but it is not. It is a very good metaphore for how to deal with your inner demons. So if you did not get that, good on you. Here's hoping you never will.
