Am I Missing Something?

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

9 DAYS is another torture porn-style thriller about a woman who finds herself abducted by a psycho and subjected to all kinds of indignities. This same kind of story has propelled numerous low rent horror films recently, but bizarrely 9 DAYS seems to play out as a comedy, a genre totally at odds with the subject matter.Needless to say that it's a piece of garbage film, one that's ugly to look at due to the poor filming style. There's a lot of teasing scenes and a general sense of amateurishness, particularly in the use of an exceptionally annoying song which gets played at full whack repeatedly. What a crock...

For an effort 'crowd funded', this really has to deserve top marks: both direction and acting, latter especially with main new star, Maura Murphy (as kidnapped Danielle), portrayed as a 'suffer* girl, to transcend into a more perfect in God's creation being' by a religious obsessive nut job! (Chris Scheicher as 'Virgil': See quotes sidebar wherein he espouses director / writer (auteur? He edited and produced it, too) Samuel M. JOHNSON's (NOT movie star Jackson!!) excuses cum reasons of its dichotomy all out as.) *i.e presumably / possibly only as edicted / inspired by as St. Paul assessed to reach religious joy - yet which can only / has to be, come by / through - you guessed it - suffering …! Which is uplifting, surely?By which, without wanting to give away too much of the development of this what at first would seem another of those tawdry women in peril stalked and torture porn offerings, and despite its (helpful?!) salacious come on subtitle: 'Whipped, chained and tortured by a psychopath' (! so, not really a 'comedy'!), do stick with it for, for you anti torture porn, pro feminists, may be surprised at the end (á la - plot spoiler alert here=read no further: 'Spit on your grave'*, 'Hostel 2 / sequel', 'Storm Warning', 'Return to Sender' etc. male oppressor come-uppance revenge genre …) And which is particularly so to possibly the true underlying critique intended by this 'the people' (=crowd funded) effort, through the initial introduced thoroughly reprehensible - (inferred) Father (?) - figure (although credited only as 'bastard' - David Alan Graf) - despatched, um 'messily' in a sorta serves him right (well, 'bastard' like, I guess!) hoisted by own petard porn surfing, ah, 'activity'! Which, if not that is the (black humour) - 'comedy'?, then is it also a subtle turnaround on all us audience 'voyeurs', too, having been so enticed to view this? (That salacious 'Whipped, chained and tortured …." COME on, y'know, huh … ?) Hmm Plus, ponder that with also a suitably menacing drab, drone-like atmospheric soundtracking throughout from '2Sheep Audio' (as credited in the print), too, this is surely a cult curio in the making. * Although actually, as rather like another in the revenge genre, W. Craven's 'Last House on the Left' was supposedly (notoriously!), incongruously inspired by Bergmann's 'Virgin Spring', it amused me that this has a similar inspirational credit "Inspired by Dante's inferno": as such, miss at your own, er, purgatory!

I will admit the fake punches, pretty fake. Really fake, But come on, they made this on a KICKSTARTER! The crazy guy was obviously crazy, but the plot works itself out and it all ties back into the beginning. I noted that this movie did not contain any FULL nude scenes, which felt odd because I don't think a movie about a psychopath torturing someone necessarily needs to be kept to a PG-13 rating. The concept of the torture is very interesting because it portrays a real psychopathic mindset, and does not involve any sexual torture or rape, as most opposite gender torture movies probably would. There are some slightly gruesome moments, but hey, its a horror film. Overall I really liked this, it had me hooked after the first 20 minutes, and considering that it was made with the support of a kick-starter, I think it was pretty awesome. I always like revenge horror films.

The movie is based around a Psycho guy named Virgil and a girl Called Danielle whom he has gotten hold of and mostly revolves around a basement.I would not go further into the movie as i think you should view it yourselves,anyways to be honest i was really starting to like the movie and did not want it to end but unfortunately it does just when 9days begins to get interesting.This movie is not for everyone,it might upset some audience due to the lack of content,but still i am not saying its not worth giving it a try after all what more can one expect from a low budget thriller/horror movie.Watch this movie if you are that type of person who thinks anything recorded on a camera is worth watching!
