Thanatomorphose is a french word meaning the visible signs of an organism's decomposition caused by death. One day, a young and beautiful girl a wakes up and finds her flesh rotting. Review: Fantastic gore - Omg I literally waited years to see this movie. I tried to see if online but couldn't. It is so good. With graphic violence and gore. And an underlying sadness and despair of the main character that is heart wrenching and inconceivable. Review: That's what we're all made of, in the end... - I have to admit to myself - I liked this, with the caveat that I don't generally care for horror and gore and I don't watch many horror flicks. I'm also pretty squeamish about stuff like maggot-infested rotting flesh and the like (call me strange, I know). I'd learned about this movie and prepared myself accordingly. I think the device of having the "heroine" (?!!) be a cute young twenty-something girl makes what happens more shocking and revolting than if the main character had been, say, an older man or woman (we all want our girls to be young, pretty and blemish/rot/maggot free, now, don't we?). Many of the reviews here complain about the slow pacing and lack of action but I think these are part and parcel of what the picture is about: random, senseless physiological horror. I would agree that she might have wanted to call a doctor, but maybe she didn't have a good health plan? (We see her going out dressed in a uniform which might be a nurse's aide's, so she should have known, right?). And why didn't she just kill herself when things got too brutally disgusting for her to bear? I thought "what the f***?!!" whenever those loud, bloody sequences interrrupted but I guess they were supposed to be her nightmares. (Rotten dog carcass very effective!). I also was engaged by the anguished, slow deliberateness of her physical actions (e.g., pulling off her ear and saving it along with other body parts in bell jars). They collectively seemed to say: "Oh, f***! If I'm rotting and dying I might as well go all in and make a record of it." I was interested in the quick edits or cuts in the first part of the film (e.g. when she's dressing her boyfriend's wound), I thought they were sloppy editing but then realized they were probably deliberate. The special effects are great, and the final sequence (last couple of minutes) is stomp-on-your head hideous! A complaint would be that the extra stuff (making of film, interviews, etc.) needed English subtitles and there weren't any in the edition I have. I know these guys are a low-budget operation but c'mon! At least subtitles would have been helpful in understanding the film from the viewpoint of the people involved in making it.

Fantastic gore
Omg I literally waited years to see this movie. I tried to see if online but couldn't. It is so good. With graphic violence and gore. And an underlying sadness and despair of the main character that is heart wrenching and inconceivable.

Gross....but Fantastic
First of all the movie was interesting, but I wish they had built each character a little better. Just don't expect prettiness. the special effects are great and very believable.

DISGUSTING!!!!!
I just got done watching this movie and its very disgusting and disturbing. You basically watch a woman rot away. And there's no explanation as why its happening. And thats pretty much it. I actually fast forwarded a few times cause I thought I was gonna vomit lmao. That's how sick this movie is. And I loved it. I don't think I've seen a movie this disgusting. I'm so happy I picked this up. If you love horror and gore pick this movie up. And prepare yourself to be grossed out.

I'M ONLY HOLDING ON TO THIS ONE BECAUSE OF THE SPECIAL EFFECTS...
...but not much else. Pardon any spoilers here, but there were some things going on that just made you go "Huh?" and scratch your head. Sorry, but if you wake up and are able to pull your fingernails off, then you probably need to go to the doctor. And if you're so weak that getting out of bed is painful, then you're probably not able to take on grown men, much less dispatch of them... ... YET... the special effects were pretty cool. Our hapless protagonist goes from bruised and itchy skin to rotting flesh falling off her bones, a scene highly reminiscent of Uncle Frank oozing his way back from the netherworld in "Hellraiser." (No doubt a homage to Clive Barker.) Well, you be the judge. We all have our reasons for liking and/or hating movies.

Five Stars
ive always loved weird horror movies

Wow!!
I must say that I've never quite seen anything like this! I can't really say I "enjoyed" this per se, but I highly commend the filmmakers and especially the leading lady for taking on such a venture. This is a really creepy, gory, cleverly done film about a woman who is decaying while alive. I look forward to their future films!
