The Growth

Annie (Lulu Chu) has been raised under the rigid control of her religious stepmother, Mary (Penny Barber). Mary resents her ex-husband for being sinful - including watching pornography behind her back - and is determined to make sure Annie doesn't go down the same lustful path.

But one night, Annie secretly watches adult content for the first time, and touches herself until she orgasms. She hopes Mary will never find out about it, but the next morning Annie is horrified to find a strange, living growth between her legs. She lets out a scream, causing Mary to come running, and Mary is horrified when she sees what's happened to Annie.

Panicked, Mary rushes Annie to a nearby urgent care clinic, and begs for help from the doctor, Dr. Hunt (Sophia Locke). Doing her best to examine the grotesque mutation, Dr. Hunt quickly becomes both alarmed and fascinated. Dr. Hunt says that fluid is building up inside this strange growth, so they need to find a way to release the pressure before the situation gets worse...

Blending body horror with psychological tension, The Growth explores the disturbing consequences of sexual repression, religious guilt, and the fear of desire.
