Description: A suffocating humidity, both atmospheric and emotional, hangs heavy over Patrick Brice’s “Excess Flesh.” This isn’t just a horror film; it’s a visceral exploration of loneliness and the insidious creep of obsession. The film masterfully utilizes its claustrophobic setting to amplify the characters' internal anxieties, creating a palpable sense of dread that lingers long after the credits roll. While the narrative unfolds at a deliberate pace, the tension is expertly ratcheted up through subtle shifts in tone and unsettling imagery. “Excess Flesh” isn't for the faint of heart, but for those willing to confront uncomfortable truths about human connection and the fragility of self, it offers a disturbingly rewarding experience.
