    Appendage (2023)

    A young fashion designer who suffocates from stress produces a monstrosity that wants to take her place.

    Fashion Industry… My favourite appalling one! Eccentric people who, for some reason, think they are important because… why again? Anyway, moving forward, Appendage is more. It delves into mental health issues created or surfaced by family, friends, relationships and toxic working environments. The film is about how things are, how we perceive them, and the vast difference between them. Taking a step deeper, one can think that there is no such thing as “how things are,” just “how we perceive them.”

    Is it a perfect film? By far not. Is it enjoyable? It sure is. Can it be taken seriously? Not really. Should it be taken seriously? Definitely! And this is where it doesn’t succeed.

    The cast is wonderful, and the film’s message is powerful. Mental disorders thrive; they can take over and put people in the passenger’s seat, leading their lives. So, maybe the intentions are honest, but the delivery can create mixed feelings. Writer/director Anna Zlokovic has done a decent job, but Appendage is not as existential as it should have been. Horror fans should give it a go even though they will likely forget their experience not long after.
