A spine-chilling new thriller from the award-winning team behind festival favorite GOOD BOY. Amir's life with his beautiful girlfriend looks perfect but in reality, he is harboring a dark secret he knows no one will understand -- ever since he can remember he has felt his left leg doesn't belong to him. Plagued with visions of a rotting leg that must be amputated, he becomes determined to rid himself of this alien limb, whatever the cost may be.

3/5

A film that lingers in the mind long after it is over -- not just because of the gore but because of the subtler questions it raises about identity and community.

4/5

It is a thrilling insider view into one man’s damaged, deranged drives -- and his desire, ironically, for integrity, even if, in order to attain it, he must deceive, delude, and destroy a perfectly good part of himself.

4/5

Bøe pushes the limits of what we come to expect from body horror in this razor-sharp, awkward, and thoroughly engrossing shocker that is as thought-provoking as it is gnarly.

4/5

It’s yet another well-devised hit for Bøe with Above the Knee a film full of layers, each equally enticing and interesting.

Like Bøe’s previous work, it’s an absurd premise, treated with clinical seriousness.

While I definitely preferred Viljar Bøe’s previous movie, I still recommend this one as well. And honestly, I could easily see both get a US or UK remake.
