Thanatomorphose: “visible signs of an organism’s decomposition caused by death”
Thanatomorphose is, to put it bluntly, a startling and horrifying first feature from writer/director Éric Falardeau. On the surface the film has a pretty simple plot: discovering several bruises on her body after a night of rough sex, a young woman is shocked as, rather than heal itself, her body begins rotting from the inside out, her putrifying body literally falling off the bone.
However dig a little deeper and you soon realise Falardeau’s film, however shocking, is actually a metaphor for societies ills – touching on ideas of loneliness, hopelessness, bad body-image and self-loathing. You could say the film is a wake-up call for all those young “sexualised” girls the media are forever warning us about.

Mickey Reece has been making films in his corner of Oklahoma for more than a decade (his incomplete IMDb page lists at least 37 director credits), but it wasn't until a few years ago that his work started getting noticed on the wider cult film circuit. With Strike, Dear Mistress, and Cure His Heart, and the recent Climate of the Hunter, we're all kicking ourselves that it's taken this long to discover one of the more unique voices in American film. But perhaps operating somewhat under the radar and on his own terms, making films with his friends and regional actors, is what gives Reece's films their distinction. The filmmaker sat down with critic, journalist, and ScreenAnarchy friend Simon Laperrière for a long chat via...

Finally, Thanatomorphose (review) is hitting DVD Stateside, and we have a look at the artwork for you right here. Surprise! It's not as horrid as the UK art, which we Loved.
The film stars Kayden Rose, Davyd Tousignant, Émile Beaudry, Karine Picard, Roch-Denis Gagnon, Éryka L. Cantieri, Pat Lemaire, and Simon Laperrière.
A Cronenbergian smorgasbord of rancid flesh and sexual gratification, Thanatomorphose, by Canadian director Eric Falardeau, picks up where Nekromantic left off. Look for it on DVD on January 21st from Unearthed Films.
A strange and claustrophobic tale of sexuality, horror, and bodily fluids, Thanatomorphose not only will make you wince but is strangely uplifting in its take on mortality.
For more info visit the official Thanatomorphose website.
Synopsis:
Thanatomorphose is an Hellenic word meaning the visible signs of an organism's decomposition caused by death. One day a young and beautiful girl wakes up and finds her flesh rotting.

It's not often that artwork comes our way that elicits a total and immediate bout of discomfort and nausea. The UK artwork for Thanatomorphose (review) does just that by being repulsive and badass all at the same time.

As the titles of this story suggests, a new not safe for work trailer for Thanatomorphose has come our way, and as per usual we have no clue what we're looking at, but we like it! Hell, we can barely even pronounce this flick's title, but who cares? This looks nuts!
