Excess Flesh
Waited a while to watch this and when I finally did, I was a bit taken aback. Because apparently I had completely forgotten what it was about, or the teaser showed nothing what it was actually about. I was so confused, but yet I sat through the 103 min of what at first glimpse could only be described as horror/torture After first viewing this it’s easy to say that it’s a story about Jill (Bethany Orr), who’s obsessed with her “sexy” roommate Jennifer (Mary Loveless). But the more you watch, the more you see and the more you see, the more it reveals and the more you understand. Jill imprisons Jennifer in their appartment in some weird and twisted way to bring them closer together. I have to be honest that I had to watch it more than once to fully understand its true meaning about wanting more will never satisfy that undying hunger. We consume and consume and consume, but are we ever satisfied? We’re all judged by appearance and we all do so, unconsciously. What are we supposed to look like? How are we supposed to act and behave? Who’s to say what’s right and what’s wrong? What is beauty? I may spiral off into too many directions, but I bet you will too. It’s society's way of telling us what the newest “fad” is, ya know, by letting us know what’s cool and what’s not. The movie dares to touch on some dark subjects such as mental and eating disorder which may be recognizable to some who have experienced it, while to others if not recognizable, then perhaps palpable. There are so many twists and turns in this story and if you blink, you might miss it. I suggest you pay attention to every single detail. I’ll admit that this movie is not for everybody. Excess Flesh Trailer (2015) SPOILER ALERT AHEAD!
