She wanted the perfect face... Too bad it was someone else's!
"Grafted feels like The Substance meets Takashi Miike." - Daniel Kurland, Bloody Disgusting
“Grafted is one of those movies where viewers can challenge each other to see who can come up with the longest list of films that served as an influence on this one—Eyes Without a Face, The Girl Most Likely To …, Face/Off, May and Mean Girls for starters." - Peter Sobczynski, RogerEbert.com
"Gore, glorious gore." - Chloé Harper Gold, Dread Central
Chinese scholarship student Wei travels to New Zealand to study medical research at a prestigious university. Shy, introverted, and hiding a genetic facial birthmark, Wei is shunned by her social butterfly cousin Angela and her glamorous friends. Determined to change her fate, Wei immerses herself in her deceased scientist father's research, working on a revolutionary skin grafting procedure that could cure her deformity. After a violent clash ends in Angela's death, Wei's experiments take a dark turn. Desperate, she discovers she can 'become' Angela by grafting her face onto her own. As Angela, Wei transforms into a stunning beauty, gaining instant popularity and desire. Intoxicated by her new status, Wei's attempts to maintain the façade grow increasingly deadly. Her newfound beauty and acceptance come at a high cost, as she becomes more dangerous and unhinged, willing to eliminate anyone who threatens her secret.
