A young woman with a physical disability arrives in New Zealand to study. Struggling to make friends, she carries on the work of her late scientist father, hoping to create a beauty serum and achieve the popularity she craves. But her experiments call for gruesome sacrifices and produce somewhat unexpected results.
In her first feature film, director Sasha Rainbow serves up a delightful blend of body horror and black comedy. Unlike the film’s heroine and her dubious experiments, the filmmaker aces her debut, delivering a horrifying social satire in very, very, very bad taste (but in a good way).
