Considering the level of quality from recent modern Canadian horror films, i came into Thanatomorphose with huge expectations. Unfortunately those expectations were never met.
The gore effects and atmosphere are filled with dread. This really does feel like a horror film and I actually thought the low budget the film had played to its advantage. Its the type of film that will not only test your stomach, but will make you feel like a shower afterwards. Its almost as though the filth that is depicted on screen is reaching through and soaking you, the viewer, in it.
The gore effects are surprisingly very good which will make gore hounds want to go and see it but, the problem is, is that its over one hundred minutes in length and because the story is non existent and you don't care about the plight the main character is in, it becomes a genuinely tedious experience.
Its definitely a case of a movie that should have been made into a short film.
Very disappointed, but doesn't come without positives. Unfortunately those positives don't outshine the many negatives.
