Cyst (2020)

August 26, 2022 6:03 AM

Nurse Patricia works under an enthusiastic plastic surgeon who believes he's invented a breakthrough cyst-removal machine and, against Patricia's sound advice, will stop at nothing to patent it so it can be used for his patients. But when their differences turn into a physical altercation, damaging the machine, what started as Patricia's last day on duty becomes a battle for survival after the doctor's 'Get Gone' cyst-removing invention inadvertently turns a patient's tumor into a cyst-monster that terrorizes the office.

Directed by Tyler Russell.

Currently streaming in the US on Hoopla and available for digital rental. JustWatch listing.

... what? Okay, looking at the trailer, they've nailed a bunch of the old monster movie look and feel with the design and costuming and sets. This looks like it could be fun.

Feels inevitable that DrPimplePopper e.g. Youtube empire would spawn a horror-comedy B-movie. Looks wild.

This is very silly, but kinda funny. Like rmd1023 suspected from the trailer, they've nailed the period details of this subset of low budget monster movie.

Say one thing for sure: this movie knows exactly what it is.

This is only 69 minutes long and that saves it. Still, it might have been even better as like a bonkers 35 minute long Creepshow episode.
