Sorry for the inappropriate political pun I used there, but I just couldn't resist. While that is timely and I'm not sure the joke will be understood in 10 years (or even when the next president is on),the movie itself is timeles (pun very much intended). Immortality is something humans have been seeking out forever and something that is both appealing and appaling, if you really take your time and think about it.
The movie starts off a bit weird, with a scenario that might leave you wondering what is going on. Like me, because I didn't read what this was about. Most twists can be seen way ahead of the time they arrive on screen, but it's still very enjoyable to watch. The actors are having fun with this ... let's call it body horror movie. And while it has quite a few flaws (pun intended),it is more than decent enough

Re-peal and replace
Jesus, what a horror show...
....as the heroine says at one point. There is a really good story lurking in this film somewhere, but it's too stylised to really pull you in. It's a sexy and sometimes gory film, but it is too heavy on the style and sound to continually keep your interest. Reminded me a bit of the film The Hunger, more pop video than coherent narrative. An enjoyable watch, but some scenes were just dragged out to long. The editing was annoying and detracted from the flow a bit. Still, not a bad film, but could have been executed better.
I thought it was good
Having read the other reviews on here I don't really see any valid reasons for this film getting such a low rating.
I think people were expecting some kind of Texas Chainsaw Massacre gore fest - which this film isn't. It requires a bit more attention.
The acting is superb, the story well written, and this is excellently executed.
The pace of the film is good and engaging.
The best thing to do is watch this and make your mind up.
