In the film, you are introduced to Hannah, a fashion designer who one day discovers a mysterious outgrowth on her body. This is a more elaborate idea of the 2021 short film of the same name. The film has an agile pace between female psychology, social expectations and horror and also has a surprise in store.
The appendage effects are of course not new and reminiscent of Basket Case or How to Get Ahead in Advertising (1989) But those were comedies, this movie takes it all a bit more serious but the special effects are practical just like those 80s movies!
Although the vile creature itself isn't really frightening at first, there are awkward times, particularly when speaking with the tongue! In addition, Hadley Robinson, who plays Hannah, a twentysomething, is charming and fits the movie perfectly. Yes, this movie was far superior to what I had expected and offered a novel perspective!

The ultimate lunatic cat & mouse story in the best way possible.
Action packed with many "well, didn't see that coming" moments.
Japanese story in style of Tarantino, Coen brothers or even Luc Besson.
This was a lot more fun than expected. The cast was great. The story was full of so many little things that seemed unnecessary but just added to the fun. Each character had great quirks and those quirks always ended up coming into play in fun ways.
There's vindictive cartel hitman Wolf (Bad Bunny), poison user Hornet (Zazie Beetz in a glorified cameo), and a deceptive schoolgirl nicknamed The Prince who, despite the efforts of Netflix star Joey King, is underdeveloped as the "Lolita femme fatale" the film wants her to be. There's also two British gangsters, brothers Lemon (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Tangerine (Brian Tyree Henry).

Invisible City is a fantasy series.
Brazilian folklore. Ancient myths in a plot that is absolutely intriguing, and this despite the scarce depth of the underlying myths of the plot itself.
Photography alternates bright and wide-ranging moments in which the Brazilian coast is the host, with other dark and gloomy moments in which mythological characters peep out. The interpretation of the cast is not very convincing.
Invisible City is an enjoyable series for fantasy lovers, but which ultimately does not seem to leave what we can consider as an indelible mark in the genre.
