Grafted,a body horror directed by a New Zealand-born director,Sasha Rainbow, got a bit unlucky since it was shot almost at the same time asThe Substance. Inevitably, upon its release, it found itself in the shadow ofCoralie Fargeat’s Oscar-nominated film. It would be a shame, however, if this movie went completely unnoticed by genre fans since it approaches similar topics —beauty standards imposed by society, striving to find a better version of yourself, etc....

When choosing an iPhone color, it’s more than just about looks (at least for some people). The color reflects personal style, practicality, and social trends. Again, we say for ‘some people’ because a lot of the time, people put their phone in a big bulky case, and they never see the color again.
