Deep Cuts is a celebration of the obscure, under appreciated, and underseen. Things we love: late 70s, early 90s, mid 2000s, camp, arthouse, vampires, women's right & wrongs, coming of age, non-horror horror movies, 15-20% on rotten tomatoes, not taking serious films seriously.

A surgeon becomes obsessed with the seductive woman he once was in an affair with. Refusing to accept that she has moved on, he amputates her limbs and holds her captive in his mansion.
"Boxing Helena is everything but a fetishism-glorifying piece. The grotesque acts of possession and control did spark widespread controversy due to their disturbing and graphic nature, but they also broke new ground in depictions of how control and obsession affect the dynamics of male-female relationships." - Jason Collins, Giant Freakin Robot
"Boxing Helena is much more than just a “bad” or “good” movie. It’s an earnest attempt at delving into the murky waters of devotion and the evils that lie in those depths." - Drew Dietsch, Bloody Disgusting
"Jennifer Lynch’s decision to frame the narrative through a distinctly female gaze adds layers of complexity to the story. It transforms what could have been a straightforward tale of male dominance into a more nuanced exploration of power dynamics." - Sara Bright, Creativity's UK
