Editor’s note: Our short take on Grafted (2024): A confident blend of Horror, focused more on tone than spectacle. Under Sasha Rainbow’s direction, the film keeps a steady rhythm and a clear sense of place. Standout turns from Joyena Sun, Jess Hong, Eden Hart keep it engaging even in quieter stretches. At 1h 33m, it moves with a measured pace and rarely overstays a scene. Reception is mixed; it works best if you’re in the mood for its specific tone. Its tagline — “Beauty is only skin deep.” — actually reflects the film’s intent. Worth a watch for the craft alone, even beyond the genre appeal.
