Excision (2012)

Genre: Horror

Directed by: Richard Bates Jr.

Starring: AnnaLynne McCord, Traci Lords, Ariel Winter

Running time: 81 minutes

Pauline is a socially-awkward, disturbed et delusional high school students with aspirations for pre-marital sex and a career as a surgeon. Between her difficult relationship with her mom and her desire to help her younger sister who suffers from cystic fibrosis, things have the potential of going very wrong.

It was a treat to see greats like Malcolm McDowell and John Waters have cameos in this film. There is also former porn actress Traci Lords playing the mother. The acting was really good, and the story keeps you guessing until it finally dawns on you that something really bad is bound to happen.

To say that Excision packs a punch is an understatement. That final sequence stayed with me for quite a while after the movie was done. A little over the top, but highly recommended, though not for the faint of heart.
