Synopsis
Modify is a documentary film released in 2006 that delves into the world of extreme body modification. Directed by Greg Jacobson and Jason Gary, the film examines the lives of individuals who choose to modify their bodies in unique and often controversial ways. From tattooing and piercing to more extreme practices like implanting horns and splitting tongues, Modify offers a glimpse into a subculture that pushes the boundaries of physical appearance and self-expression. Through intimate interviews and striking visuals, the film explores the motivations behind these transformations and challenges viewers to reconsider their perceptions of beauty and identity.
Reviews
Modify received mixed reviews from critics upon its release. While some praised the film for its in-depth exploration of an unconventional subculture, others found the subject matter disturbing and difficult to watch. Variety described Modify as 'a compelling and thought-provoking look into the world of extreme body modification' with a rating of 7/10. On the other hand, The Hollywood Reporter criticized the film for its graphic content and lack of a clear narrative structure, giving it a rating of 4/10. Despite the divisive reception, Modify has attracted a cult following among viewers intrigued by its raw and unflinching portrayal of a fringe community.
