It looks less fake than other facial surgeries I've seen, but there is still an amuse bouche of uncanniness to it. And with the uncanny valley, less is literally more. Ymmv

I'm guessing before and after images will usually show success stories only, eh. Because those looked great. Would like to see a relatively botched example.

I'm not going to try and see botched facial surgery photos until after I've had tomorrow's coffee.

lol, I get that people can be squeamish 😆 Don't worry, I've searched the internet before 😊🤟

I thought it was a great movie, both me and the wife.

That's really interesting. To me it's peak body horror, on par with admitting I've seen from Clive Barker. I can't help wondering what you're comparing it to, to say it's not very gory?

wondering what you're comparing it to

The early days of the internet? 😅

Some rough stuff back then, but these days we just watch actual wars up close. Russian dudes getting turned into Gwar-type slapstick deaths, wild stuff.
