The horror-drama with a healthy dosage of comedy Appendage (2023) centers on a young fashion designer’s life spirals as her darkest inner thoughts manifest into something gruesome- that won’t stop growing.
The young fashion designer starring in the film seems fine on the surface but secretly struggles with debilitating self-doubt. Soon these buried feelings begin to make Hannah physically sick and sprout into a ferocious growth on her body: The Appendage. As Hannah’s health declines, The Appendage grows more powerful and begins to fuel her anxieties – her perceived lack of talent at work, her deteriorating relationships with her boyfriend and best friend, and her parents’ lack of love and understanding. At her breaking point, Hannah makes a shocking discovery – there are others out there like her.
This is the debut feature film of the writer, producer, and director Anna Zlokovic, who gained notoriety with her nomination for the Short Film Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival with her short film Appendage (2021), starring Eric Roberts, that served for inspiration for the feature.
Emily Hampshire, Hadley Robinson, Deborah Rennard, Brandon Mychal Smith, Desmin Borges, Kausar Mohammed, Annie Pisapia, Adam Butterfield, and Pat Dortch form the main cast of the film.
After having the world premiere at the South by Southwest Film Festival on March 11, 2023, Hulu has achieved the distribution rights for the film and has scheduled it for a digital release on October 2, 2023.
