I saw the movie trailer for this. It's just wrong.

Whoever thought this up is wrong.

I just got done watching this on On Demand. Pretty fucking good but don't go looking for a gorefest, most of the nastiness occurs off-screen. It wasn't the fastest moving film but it was very original and pretty darned disturbing. The guy who plays the doctor did a pretty good job.

This movie brought a whole new meaning to ass to mouth.

People have been talking this one up literally everywhere I've gone lately, so I checked it out On Demand last night...

...yes, it's sick, twisted (HOSTEL meets SALO, anyone?) and extremely well shot and acted--I won't get the taste of this one out of my mouth for quite some time.

My ONE major objection?

SPOILER

SPOILER

SPOILER

SPOILER

Oh, hell, MEGA-SPOILER!!!!


I felt that writer/director Tom Six tried much too hard to come up with the bleakest, most nihilistic finale of all time.

Let's face it, the simple fact that the "survivor" underwent the experience at all was enough to ruin her life--she'll end up killing herself shortly after she's rescued--and she WILL be rescued.

I didn't go for the Japanese guy changing his mind and committing suicide as opposed to killing off the doctor when he had the chance and they were "that" close...

...I didn't buy that both cops could be killed by the severely injured villain...

...and here it is, plain and simple--they went and got a search warrant, so SOMEBODY very obviously knows where they went, and when they don't report back, SOMEBODY's going to show up and rescue the poor girl even though she'll never be the same again. The movie simply didn't need all of those last-minute contrivances to work, so said contrivances simply took me right the hell out of the movie.

Up until then, it was a work of genuinely effective, original, twisted brilliance all the same, and it should never be ignored...

So without doimg my homework, I'm just going to easily guess that it was written at least as trilogy since the opening credits are titled as 'First Segment.'

I liked it! :D

I hated it. Thought it was boring... this one had so much potential and just fell flat imo.
