It gets gross, but to what end?... I don't know if the young woman at the center of it is all that well drawn.

Sasha Rainbow's debut feature is a queasy launch for the up and coming filmmaker.

It takes a cartoonish pop-art approach to its material, which deals with feminine competition and beauty standards; as a result, it also has the subtlety of a baseball bat, or perhaps a hot curling iron.

Rated: 2.5/4

Grafted is disgusting, graphic and garish.

“Grafted” is a stylish, textured mad scientist film that falters as it runs out of ideas approaching the denouement. The first half was too strong to sustain the momentum or find a resolution that resonates as much as the story does in the beginning.

While its performances are fierce and its gore playful and wild, Rainbow’s feature debut plays it safe with the racial and sexual taboos inherent to its gnarly concept.

Rated: 7/10

The idea of having to carve oneself repeatedly until perfection is a cool and painful idea, but it’s a bit wasted on less interesting cliché drama overall.

it's a boring, bad played movi with cgi created in microsoft paint. only the frist scene with main character's father is interesting. the rest part of the is dull, bad played and tiring.

What a great idea for a horror movie. A young woman so desperate to be popular and look a certain way she'll stop at nothing to get what she wants. Tim Treakle

It is pretty well known that bone structure has a lot to do with what someone's face looks like. Simply slapping someone else's face flesh on will not make you look like that person. That said the special effects were decent. the acting was ok. IMO a very mid-level body horror flick. A watch and forget.

This movie is a perfect double feature with The Substance. This story focuses around a girl with a face deformity that finds a way to graft skin cells to her deformed face. She gets way out of control and let the body horror begin.
