Reviews

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
ArdentViewer I would count this among the worst if not the worst movie I've ever seen. The first 20 minutes were tolerable but the rest was a gratuitous display of sex, drugs, violence, and gore. The last 20 minutes in particular were so graphic that I'm amazed this film managed an R rating rather than NC 17. And through it all, there was no point - nothing gained, nothing to take away. There was no real plot, no character development, and no reason to depict all of this nastiness. I deeply regret watching the movie all the way through - in fact, I only did so that I would be able to write an accurate review. I can't fathom what other people may have been thinking to rate this film as any higher than 2 or 3 stars out of 10 - and that would only be if you really like to see drugs, sex, and gore.
xhidden99 Every scene is almost pitch black or lit from overhead through a porthole. Either that or they live in a cave. Extreme closeups w super short focal length so everything except the face in extreme closeup is out of focus. It's just an annoying one trick. You could easily replace 90% of the movie by leaving the lens cap on.For the story? Alyce is a straight up whackjob. Whether it's the binge drinking or the drugs or she fell out her mama that way, who knows? Who cares? She's an annoying a-hole either. But the good thing is that there's not a single character who doesn't really need to have their head beat in with a hammer.
fabiogaucho Odd little flick. Other reviewers have noticed how you have several movies in one, though not at the same time. First drama, then psychological horror, then out-and-out splatter-fest. Those who were expecting just the latter will be annoyed at the time it takes to get there. Those, like me, who did not know what sub-genre it was, may be thrown off-guard by the last 20 minutes, a killing orgy that is more typical of low-budget exploitation flicks (except that those have cardboard characters, while this one has some character development). And the gore starts very, very suddenly. Maybe if the order of the killings were reversed (first the less gory gun killings, then the more gory), it would work better. A continuous descent into violence.The use of humor is also peculiar. When human misery begins in the second act, it is taken seriously. When hell breaks loose in the third, the movie tries - with some success, I admit - to be funny. So the three movies seem to not fit together, but the thing is, they are *all* effective on their own. The relationship of the two girls in the beginning is something you can relate; the protagonist's self-inflicted humiliation in the middle is touching; and the gorefest in the end satisfies the fans of the sub-genre. The last scene, by the way, was funny and quite ingenious. Probably the only of its kind in revenge/exploitation stories.A minor complaint: there is zero female nudity, even though one particular scene demanded it. The protagonist is having sex with her nightgown on for no particular reason. It is clearly a matter of the actress refusing to do it, and the viewer is too aware of that (yes, I am actually saying the absence of breasts is distracting).So you may want check it out on netflix stream, but only if you are very much into horror. Not quite worth a rental.
kosmasp I'm not gonna compare this in terms of significance with a movie by Polanski or how good/bad it is side by side to it. But there is something in there that reminded me of that one particular movie. Better to aim high, than just copying anyone I guess. The movie of course will be repulsive too. It might not turn out the way you expect it too. As other reviewers have stated, it does change pace a few times. But in my estimation it does work quite nicely.Since I didn't read anything about the story before I watched this (as always), I was pleasantly surprised that the movie was not as simple as the cover would suggest (at least the German cover). The insanity that ensued is not without flaws and it is a bit explicit (in terms of violence), but for a low budget movie, this is really well made and acted
