I don't think it's a Sci-fi. Spoilers!!!


I think it is rather a thriller. Face transplant is a real thing that can be done today!

I agree. I’m not a fan of sci fi and loved this movie. Definitely a thriller/mystery

They most certainly don't look perfect, like this though.

I agree with chilone. It's still super delicate surgeries that need a complete medical team and the results are not perfect like in the movie. So I think it's highly improbable a clandestine clinic like that — and with these results — could exist today. Thus the sci-fi.

But you have a good point. I'd say it's really on the fence between just fiction (drama or thriller) and science-fiction.

Either way, it was better than I expected. Good little movie.

This reminded me of a Twilight Zone episode! They had one almost exactly like this only the man was dying and they could only afford one body so they had him put into this twink’s body lol
