Film about an 18 year girl called Pauline and her rather shocking dreams or fantasies of sex and death. She is also desperate to lose her virginity. AnnaLynne McCord plays the role and considering she is a model the make up team have done a good job of making her look, frankly, pretty ugly. Traci Lords, Malcolm McDowell & John Waters, a few famous cult names, also help make up the cast.
Hard to classify this type of film. My TV guide, Wikipedia & IMDB all describe it as horror and it certainly has a lot of nightmarish stuff and gore going on. But it's also a teen drama, a black comedy and dare I say even a bit of an art movie. But whatever genre you want to label it as it's a shocking, strange but also riveting watch. Perhaps experience would be a better word. Certainly not for everyone & a strong stomach is advised but credit due for pushing the boundaries.

This movie is twisted. Watch it when you are in that frame of mind. You want gore, its here. You want sick twisted dark humor it's here. You want horror it's here. This is not for the squeamish. this is not a belly roll laughing type of humor. You laugh at how twisted she is and the things she says. I thoroughly enjoy when a director and his cast can blend multi layers and genres into one movie and it meshes to near perfection. The Oscars will never pick a movie like this. It's for us lovers of great twisted different type of horror films. Something unique. Here it is. Enjoy!

what a weird and wonderfully acted film, acting was above par for a film of this genre, story line was easy to follow and somehow delicious to watch as the angst and delusional qualities of the main character unfolded, it does have humor blackest at best but there nonetheless.the story tells of an 18 student with delusions of medical excellence and somewhat of an anomaly in her school year and at odds with her family especially her mother (play superbly by tracy lords)yes that tracy lords.not sure how to categorise this film ,not out and out horror not a black comedy but maybe a bit of both . good watch would recommend it gave it 8/10

Trying to follow her delusional dreams of being a surgeon, an outcast teen becomes overwhelmed by her increasingly psychotic sexualized dreams and uses them to help appease her domineering mother.On the whole this one wasn't all that impressive. What really tends to turn this one down is the fact that there's just absolutely nothing appealing or interesting about the lead here who comes off as every outcast cliché rolled into one form and it comes off as incredibly off- putting. The obsessive desire to fit in despite being interested in grotesque and morbid hobbies, the need for continuous scatological remarks to any situational comeback ever, the overt sexualized discussions with everyone around her and butting heads with anyone and everyone around her just because she's right are just some of the behavior around here and it's so clichéd, so unremarkable and handled so ineptly that it's not only uninteresting but simply furthers here outcast feeling in the first place and makes it completely warranted for why she's treated as such which tends to make this one go along so agonizingly slow it can't sustain anything in the first half here. The one bright spot about that part, the need for her career as a surgeon, not only makes these scenes so easily foreshadowed later on but also adds delusional to her list of credentials due to the increasingly bizarre self-destructive qualities exhibited here that allow for her to throw them away despite her continuing pressure to become one which is what really tends to make this one feel so empty-headed and lame that it would've been totally justified for physical abuse at the hands of her parents to get her in line in life. Apart from all that, this one wasn't all that bad when it focused on areas other than her, as the main focus here is really on her psychotic dreams and visions that come along with her burgeoning sexuality, as these are vivid, lurid and quite graphic with tons of bloodshed, graphic and sexualized kills and a rather hypnotic quality that makes them incredibly watchable and chilling, which is nearly enough to save this almost by itself. Due to the severity of the other flaws, though, it only makes this one watchable.Rated Unrated: Extreme Graphic Violence, Strong Sexual Content including graphic sexual discussions, Nudity, Graphic Language and strong themes of menstruation.
