Simply Perfect

Overrated

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The first time I saw Dard Divorce, or should I say one of the gore sequences, i watched in absolute disbelief Having been brought up on horror classics like The Thing, the Saw series, Brain dead etc, I truly thought I had seen it all when it comes to goreIt's like there's gore films, extreme gore films and then there is Dard Divorce, it literally takes blood letting and sadistic violence to a whole other levelOther than that, the plot is ok, but the wife is seriously annoying, and I'm kinda glad she suffered, but here's the thing, she is like Rambo on steroidsSpoliers ahead:After having her face smashed to a pulp, her fingers and toes cut off she apparently has no pain or fear and gets angry instead....It's like WTF??? what she goes through would not only break ALL women, but most men as well, but all it does is make her angry and ask where her kids areOverall not bad for a amateur production, but strictly for the non discerning and gore hounds only

This isn't your type of film for your typical viewer or for the faint of heart. This movie has a lot of shock value to it; you would literally have to be a gore enthusiast to somewhat or enjoy it, which I am so I did. Aside from the loud music occasionally playing while the actors were speaking key points to the movie,(GRRR) I actually kind of enjoyed the twists and suspense the movie had to offer. I wasn't to sure if the director did that on purpose where some of the conversation wasn't meant to be heard or they seriously had a major error editing it. Overall, I don't really get shocked by anything anymore, but this movie freaked me out leaving me with an uneasy feeling.

After skimming through several bad reviews for this movie, I had low expectations, maybe that's why I enjoyed it as much as I did, that and the incredible gore.While suffering from a rather slow start, it gets good once the gore gets going. There is some incredible action and gore in this movie. Some of it is pretty unnecessary and is done simply for the sake of showing more bodily mutilation on screen, this is one of those things where whether that's a good thing or a bad thing all depends on the viewer, personally I loved it myself!That's not to say the movie doesn't have it's flaws, because it does (hence my lower rating). Some of the gore effects aren't all that convincing (which is forgivable considering this movie had a limited budget), the acting is not so good, the shaky cam during the gore scenes is annoying, there are at least two scenes where the music drowns out the characters voices, and another where two songs actually play over each other! It's really annoying.Also the scene where the main woman (played by director Olaf Ittenbach's wife Martina) is getting beaten while tied to a chair, could have been really effective if it didn't look so fake. If they could do a decent job of making all of the other scenes of violence look reasonably good, why not this one? There is also a part during that scene where the guy torturing the woman decides for whatever reason to untie her, then she stabs him in the neck with a broken glass bottle, brilliant dude!Given the amount of gore in this movie most of the flaws can be forgiven so a certain extent, but they did taint my enjoyment for this movie a little. I would still recommend it to gore film fans. Remember, watch it for the gore and nothing else.

After reading some of the reviews here, I was actually scared to approach this movie. I thought I was in store for something in the lines of Irreversible, you know, that movie that disturbed the hell out of you—where the guy gets a fire extinguisher smashed into his face, and the girl gets brutally, and I mean brutally raped for ten minutes in a subway station, and all that jazz. Granted, there is a lot of violence in this film, but come on, they have been pulling innards from corpses since George Romero's Night of the Living Dead. Could be I watched an edited cut, could be. Yes, the weird accents of a lot of the players are annoying, but that kind of makes it even creepier, like in Suspiria creepy. I still don't understand how the daughter survived but I'm not going to watch it a second time to figure it out, it doesn't matter. What we have here is not exactly as obscene as the Hong Kong shocker Run and Kill (check that out for cruelty) and more in the lines of a twisted version of Trainspotting or something. I found this much more watchable than all those stupid Saw sequels. And there is even a bit of a twist at the ending, making it much less of the snuff film it has been reported as been.
