Excision

Audience emotional responses to 'Excision' are primarily dominated by a sense of the **Disturbing**, driven by Pauline's unsettling delusions, the graphic nature of her 'stimulating' dreams, and the shocking culmination of her plan. This is closely followed by **Fear** and **Anxiety**, as the film maintains a constant unease and builds suspense towards its horrific climax. **Disgust** is also a significant emotion, stemming from the visceral and transgressive elements depicted. Despite its dark themes, a notable percentage of **Humor** is present, though it's largely dark, uncomfortable, or absurd, arising from Pauline's bizarre behavior and the family's exasperation. **Sadness** and **Empathy** emerge from the dramatic core, particularly concerning her sister's illness and the tragic trajectory of Pauline's mental state.
