Synopsis

An aspiring LA singer-songwriter confronts childhood trauma, internalized misogyny, and industry fat-shaming until she violently breaks.

Moviegoers are saying

Reviewers are mostly smitten with this gory, body-image satire, with Dina Silva's unhinged lead performance (and her singing) cited again and again as the reason to stick around. The film's three 'rounds' jump from slasher to Substance-style body horror, and while some found the middle sagging and the final act hard to follow, most agreed it's the kind of wild, scrappy indie slasher you won't forget. One reviewer called it 'the modern-day Maniac we deserve.'

Did the GLP-1 industry plant this film? No. Dina Silva wrote, produced and stars as Frankie in this dark comedy horror about a woman with low self-esteem, body dysmorphia and a wicked conscience driving her to “get even” with those who she feels have shamed her or are…

This gory, gross (the mayo scene was awful 🤮), and glorious comedic horror film has a lot of TCM in it, with dashes of body horror. A thicc aspiring singer takes her pent up rage out on fatphobia. I can’t remember the last time I rooted so hard for the killer to succeed.

Sady it doesn't end with Frankie forming a punk band called Frankie and the Fat Girls. It really doesn't feel like there's much of a plot. Frankie drifts from one place to the next but it still somehow works. The practical effects were really solid. I don't really get why…

A strange, subversive, satirical, sometimes surreal Neo-slasher from TRAUMATIKA director Pierre Tsigaridis (who also co-writes, shoots and edits) that plays with the subgenre model in interesting ways, mainly through his collaboration with Co-writer/Star Dina Silva, who…

742° filme de 2026: Tive uma experiência tão desagradavel com "Two Witches", outro filme do diretor, que já tava preparado pra outra bomba. Felizmente, esse é melhor que o outro, mas não dava pra ser pior. Começa interessante e se perde na segunda metade. É super caricato…

“What if I sang with a mask?” “What is this? Lizzo meets Slipknot?” Darkly hilarious, vile, courageous, stylish, campy, ridiculously over-the-top and satisfying as hell! Massively entertaining takedown of commercialized beauty standards by our leading lady Leatherface and…
