Might have been titled: WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE'S BLOODY REVENGE.
An occasionally lurid quirky-indie of a troubled, borderline cray Catholic girl's angsty coming-of-age in a stereotypical indie suburban hellscape, EXCISION is, by turns, undistinguished, uninspired, and uninteresting.
Borrowing heavily from a cornucopia of better movies by better directors (Solondz, Lynch, Aronofsky, Waters, even Araki), the film manages to be clichéd even at its most original, lurching to a conclusion that undermines any legitimacy in its premise.
Decent performances fail to compensate for the mediocre direction and (at best) marginally competent script. Aiming for DONNIE DARKO, this disturbed-suburban-teen quirky indie only manages to be DONNIE DARK, DANK & DISMAL-O.
