THE SURGEON
SYNOPSIS Years of studying and playing by the rules, all to be betrayed by the art he loves so dearly. But now, the rule book has been thrown out the window. In this spine-tingling torture horror we see the failed plastic surgeon Osman (‘The Copycat’) stalk, kidnap and hold hostage Chloe (‘Dolls’), an aspiring actress to perform the unspeakable. Directed by Debbyaan Onyenassir this urgent, intensely moving and gripping story shapes the human fantasy of a demented surgeon. Your imperfections are his opportunities.
