Not for the faint of heart.
, Brandon Cronenberg writhes around in more psychosexual body-horror violation, mutation, mutilation, and hysteria withCronenberg’s third feature is many things all at once, and though it doesn’t all cohere in neat-and-tidy fashion, that messiness is part of the point—a notion repeatedly hammered home by up-close-and-personal sights of blood and body fluids dripping, gushing, and squirting out of various orifices and wounds.
If James is shaken by this sudden encounter, he’s thoroughly rattled when, driving home that night, the car’s headlights go out and he accidentally strikes and kills a local farmer. Convinced to flee the scene rather than take his chances with the island’s ghastly legal system, James and Em return to the resort. Unfortunately, the police come knocking, taking the couple past a network of rusty, winding industrial pipes and to a derelict police station.
Afterwards, he and Em are forced to watch the boy repeatedly and viciously stab James’ doppelganger. Crazier still, upon returning to their hotel, James—whose passport is now mysteriously missing—is invited to join Gabby, Alban, and some of their friends, who reveal that they too have all undergone this procedure.
The proceedings feel both clinically manicured and soiled, not to mention unhinged. To that end, Goth—fresh off her extraordinary turn in—proves an entrancing figure of entitled, cunning perversion. Sultry and nurturing, sweet and cruel, she’s the engine that powers this malignant affair as it plummets into an abyss of guises and deceptions, twisted parent-child tensions, and unholy unions.
