The Borrower turns the need for a replacement body part into an increasingly grotesque problem of identity. A head is both a practical disguise and the feature by which everyone else recognizes a person. Watch how that premise shifts a scene between body horror and absurdity, especially when the demands of concealment become harder to manage than the initial escape.
