Trypophobic Posession Trypophobic Posession (2023) is an extreme medium-length film of about 33 minutes that is notable not only for its themes addressed that is trypophobia, vermiphobia and possession but also for the original protagonist performance played by Cory DeAn Cowley.
In fact, the U.S.-based SFX artist and actress, known for her extreme make-ups and horror performances in horror films and metal music, uses her experience in the field of practical effects to immerse herself in a character possessed by her phobia: trypophobia, the fear of holes.
In Trypophobic Posession we will witness a slow physical decay that will destroy the female body. A painful and horrifying metamorphosis toward which the woman will go and which, in some ways, recalls that of the Canadian film's protagonist Thanatomorphose.
Trypophobic Posession flows into a gory body horror by focusing on a visual horror amplified by the constant presence of bodily fluids (even real menstrual blood), insects and worms of a parasitic nature that dig tunnels into her naked body, to the point of dominating her will.
Between self-injury with a stabbing weapon and attempts at self-suffocation and suicide by throat-slitting in fact, the protagonist seems to succumb to her brutal fate that ensnares her in a hellish and eternal pain.
Aimed at deeply disturbing the viewer, Cory DeAn Cowley's amazing performance is the soul of Trypophobic Posession, certainly among the best extreme films of recent years.
In addition to the aforementioned actress, the cast also includes Jim E. MejÃa.
Trypophobic Posession is a Goredrome Pictures exclusive and is available in the Ultralimited Mediabook edition (only 300 copies)
