Movies
A fairly typical horror film, where the monster has more psychological significance than it is actually scary or creepy. Appendage is nice enough for what it is, but these horror films never quite seem to get it right. The balance between drama and horror is difficult to maintain, and one or the other ends up suffering as a result. Hannah, a young, aspiring fashion designer has a tough time dealing with the stress of her job. The self-doubt and harsh critiques of her boss manifest themselves as a grueling creature that pops up from her side. It feeds off of her negativity, but Hannah discovers she's not the only one with this condition. The monster looks cheesy and the horror half of the film could've used a little extra bite. The performances aren't too bad though and the cinematography is decent too. It's just that the film is never more than the sum of its parts, and because neither drama nor horror manages to stand out, it feels a little lacking. Still, decent horror filler for this time of year.Read all
