Hulu is taking body horror a bit further in its new film Appendage, coming next month.

The movie takes the concept of inner demons to another level, allowing an evil spirit to manifest as a killer body part. According to the official description, “Hannah (Hadley Robinson), a young fashion designer, seems fine on the surface, but secretly struggles with debilitating self-doubt,” reads the official synopsis. “Soon these buried feelings begin to make Hannah physically sick and sprout into a ferocious growth on her body: The Appendage.

The logline goes on: “As Hannah’s health declines, The Appendage begins to fuel her anxieties – her perceived lack of talent at work, her deteriorating relationships with her boyfriend and best friend, and her parents’ lack of love and understanding. At her breaking point, Hannah makes a shocking discovery—there are others out there like her.”

Appendage debuts on October 2nd as part of Hulu’s “Huluween” holiday film festival. the cast includes Kausar Mohammed, Emily Hampshire, and Brandon Mychal Smith. The film is Directed by Anna Zlokovic, the film is her feature directorial debut, and was based on her 2021 short of the same name.
