The premise
The trials and tribulations of a man diagnosed with colorectal cancer who refuses treatment and establishes a carnal fixation on the tumor that slowly siphons the life out of him.
Horror Vault's take
A German independent film that plunges into deeply uncomfortable territory as a man confronts a terminal cancer diagnosis — and makes the shocking choice to embrace it rather than fight. What unfolds is less a conventional medical drama and more a psychosexual descent, as his relationship with his own deteriorating body warps into something grotesque and compulsive. Raw, low-budget, and unapologetically strange, Carcinoma sits at the extreme edge of body horror arthouse cinema.
