Indie Movie Review – Incision
Iโm fairly sure that Iโve said before that Iโm not a huge fan of the horror/slasher/gore sub-genres, so it didnโt take long for me to realise that Incisionย wasnโt going to be my cup of tea. But, as has been demonstrated many times before, just because itโs not my โthingโ doesnโt mean I canโt watch it.
I seriously think I may need to revisit that rule, as Incision was not good. It featured a group of characters who generated absolutely zero sympathy with me, getting into a situation that any rational person would have simply walked away from. This time I couldnโt just blame the genre.
Incision has a group of unpleasant people acting like spoilt, self-centered idiots. Even though the lunatic family they encounter seem to have come from the weird, in-bred section of Central Casting, I still felt more for them than I did for the “heroes” and, letโs be honest, I didnโt care much for anyone involved in this film.

So What Happens Then?
Incisionย starts off a series of mocked up headlines surrounding photos of surgical procedures. The headlines are about a former surgeon going into hiding to avoid being imprisoned for mutilating and killing his patients.
This then cuts to a scene of dressings being removed and a crying woman walking toward a mirror. When she gets close enough to see her reflection she screams and the doctor standing next to her says, โBeautiful,โ which, of course, she isnโt.
Then we have the opening titles, followed by a scene of Alexa Landry (Korrina Rico) on an operating table, and a syringe being readied. Before anything can happen though, Alexa has a minor panic attack and canโt go through with the procedure. Iโd be more convinced if she didnโt look like sheโd already spent half her life on the table.
Then we cut to Alexaโs house where her boyfriend, Matt Casey (Lee Kholafai) is sitting, having a liquid breakfast with a French guy called Chase (Kev Adams). Donโt worry about Chase; heโs on screen for less than a minute and never appears again. Matt is a footballer with a dodgy knee or something that means he canโt play, hence the early drinking.
Alexa gets a call from her mother saying that her misfit sister has runaway from rehab and they need to start searching for her. Thirty seconds later Becca (Caylee Cowan) is found and there is a big argument lasting all of ten seconds, and they head off to see their friends Calvin Soundz ( Jonathan โLil Jโ McDaniel) and Trinity Lee (Olga Safari). Trinity has just woken up and found out sheโs pregnant, so she has a shower while wearing a strapless bra. Trinity is a singer and Calvin is her record producer. Calvin wants to play them the latest track theyโve been working on and needs his laptop, so he turns to his long time friend and dogsbody Kenny (Tristan Tales) who, it seems, has lost it. They use the โFind Myโ app and send Kenny out after the laptop.
Is Anybody Remotely Surprised By What Happens Next?
First one member of our happy gang turns up at the house of the mad plastic surgeon referred to in the newspaper clippings at the start, shortly followed by the rest. Apart from Chase, who saw the rest of the script and bailed out.ย Iโm not going to bother with any more because youโll know whatโs likely to happen, including the โtwists and turnsโ — which are telegraphed from the moment they decide to enter the house of the demented doctor (because itโs a bit chilly) rather than just going and calling the police.
What people are saying about the RunPee app.

Couldn’t live without this app anymore. Perfect to time my run for another glass of wine or two. Works great with my smart watch.

But itโs when they get into the house and the dastardly doctor gets to work that you can see where the budget went…
If you donโt like gore and body horror, then you wonโt like the last two acts.
Itโs obvious that a lot of money was spent on special effects. Limbs, lips, and eyelids are removed with intimate detail. Iโm sorry, but Incisionย just wasnโt for me. There was no real story, no believable plot development, and absolutely no way that you can believe that a group of six people could all be that unaware of whatโs going on around them.

Bad characterization, no plot, fetishization of body parts: this is porn.

Nooo! Porn has better story lines, more believable characters, and more relatable story arcs.
