Love-struck, corpse-reeking gravedigger quenches the flesh's desires through Frankensteinian experiments in indie breakout star Grace Glowicki’s wildly morbid horror-comedy.

It’s hard to seduce handsome men when you reek of decay, so when a young gravedigger finally catches someone’s eye, she refuses to let go—even after her newfound love tragically perishes in a shipwreck.

Stitching together body parts borrowed from German Expressionism and the most unhinged corners of Guy Maddin’s cinematic experiments, Grace Glowicki (director, writer, and lead actress) has crafted her own cinematic Frankenstein’s monster. This grotesque, filthy, and utterly boundary-pushing body horror comedy gives the regenerative properties of tailless lizards a (pseudo)scientific starring role.
