Audrey (Ashley Tyler) is looking for the perfect man, and she might
have found him in Brad (Cole Critchell), her blind date she's eagerly
awaiting - she has pretty much fallen in love with his eyes in a photo. So
it's little wonder that she downs one whiskey after the next in the bar
they're to meet. But when Brad arrives, his eyes are not at all what his
photo promised to be, so she ditches him on the spot. However, the
bartender's (Logan Roberts) eyes are just dreamy enough to win her over,
so she takes him home instead after the end of his shift. At home though,
she puts something in his drink to render him unconscious, because her
idea of finding the perfect man has a lot to do with both patchwork and
surgery ... Now this is nothing if not a very interesting film:
Now the story - a woman wants to build her perfect mate out of bodyparts -
may not be terribly original (in fact it goes back all the way to Frankenstein
of course), but the approach sure is, as it mixes elements of romantic
comedy with dark humour and visceral horror, but gives the whole thing a
very lyrical feel, playing up neither humour nor horror but putting an
emphasis on atmosphere, and to achieve this the film isn't told as a
linear narrative but rather associatively to get the mood right. An
unusual film, that's for sure, and also a very good one.
