Laceration

About This Movie

Laceration is quite the unsettling piece. It dives deep into the twisted relationship between Irina and Andrés, a couple whose medical expertise takes a dark turn. The film's atmosphere is thick with tension, almost suffocating at times, as they explore pain as a form of bonding. The pacing is deliberate, drawing you into their obsessive world while gradually revealing the consequences of their reckless actions. The performances are raw, especially as Irina spirals deeper into her addiction, leaving Andrés grappling with the fear of losing her. It’s not just about physical pain—the emotional toll is palpable. The practical effects they use are impressively visceral, adding to the overall discomfort, and the themes of love versus destruction are hauntingly relevant.
