  Grafted 2024

  ★★ Watched 04 Mar 2025 2

  Grafted is a horror-drama about Wei, a socially awkward exchange student who gets obsessed with a skin grafting procedure to fix her deformity, and things quickly spiral out of control. The concept has potential, and Wei’s character is interesting—well-thought-out and layered. But the rest didn’t quite work for me. The supporting characters are odd, and the acting is inconsistent. It’s hard to invest when the performances vary. The film seems to juggle ideas—characters appear and disappear, as if forgotten. Meanwhile,…

Their chemistry works surprisingly well, and the romance that develops adds an unexpected depth to…

  V/H/S: Viral 2014

  ★ Watched 19 Dec 2021 2

  I should have checked the reviews before watching this—it's easily the worst installment in the V/H/S series. The wraparound story, "Vicious Circles," follows a couple chasing a police pursuit in hopes of capturing the ultimate viral video, but it quickly becomes a mess. While it touches on the theme of chasing fame through sensationalism, it never explores it in any meaningful way. The second segment, "Dante the Great," features a magician using a cursed cloak for supernatural feats. Unfortunately, it’s…
