This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Masterful Cinema

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen and without a doubt ever made. The main purpose of this film is for the shock value and to disturb and make the viewer uncomfortable. This movie was so so so boring and dumb. Do NOT waste your time with this trash and find something else to watch.

its not that i don't get this movie. I do, i totally get it, but its still a shite movie. For one its boring as hell. And two, its just nasty smut. I'm all for disturbing movies that try to push the limits but this was just crap. I'll save you some time, close your eyes, now picture a old fat dirty trucker raping and torturing a prostitute over and over again. There you go, that is this movie. If that sounds fun to you well unfortunately there is also no gore in this movie. The director also tries to come off as being smart and trying to include a message or a "point" to all the smut but when its all said and done its just a movie about a hooker who gets kidnapped and raped. The beginning was alright and i thought it might go somewhere near the ending but it never does. They just drag out scene after scene until they are bored and end it. I really don't see what all the hype is about and its a shame because more people are going to be tricked into watching this for the shock factor which doesn't exist, its just repulsive in all the wrong ways. The only people who will like this movie are people who get off on seeing women beat up.

I watched this film last night after reading the press coverage of the film being banned in the UK.Rodleen Gestic's performance was amazing. She was physically branded, and abused for real in front of the camera, so it is impossible to fault her commitment. Similarly at times Renfro was genuinely convincing as a lunatic.However, the film has many flaws. The editing is so quick that for whole sections of the film, individual scenes last 3-5 seconds. I have read reviews on here that praise this as creating an atmosphere where the viewer shares a sense of disorientation. I just found it distracting from an already weak story.The film is made on a low budget, and the added features on the DVD say there was not even a film crew present - just a handful of actors and the director / filmmaker. This lack of budget feeds through into limited sets, and few (none?)special effects. There's a lot of torture, but no blood (fake or real). The actresses are really branded, but this added nothing to the film compared to the use of prosthetics - it doesn't add to the story so why do it.In interviews Rehmeier states that they improvised large parts of the film. The reality seems to be that they didn't have money for a decent script so fall back on filling the film with bunny being abused over and over again for little real purpose in terms of plot development. Rapid cutting between the 2 main characters screaming at each other over and over again for 5 minutes is not an alternative to a script, and doesn't even build tension.The bunny game itself involves Renfor dragging Bunny around the desert in a straight jacket and a rabbit hat. This was more like a fetish film than a serious horror film. This is supposedly the highlight of the abuse, but compared to what came before it would have been a relief.The film ends with an anticlimax. Bunny has been abducted and tortured by what appears to be a psychopath, but he doesn't kill her, rape her, or free her. After a few days he transfers her to a friend, who takes her away. There is no explanation of why. I have read reviews here which state that this leaves it open for the viewer to interpret it in their own way (For example has he been breaking her as a human being in order to make it easier to sell her into white slavery, has he tired of her and passed her onto his friend to play with). Whatever. Its hard to praise the skill of the storyteller if he expects you to decide what his story actually is.I didn't find this film frightening / scary, and the plot was so weak that there really isn't much of a story. If you like seeing a young girl get hurt, in the knowledge that a lot of it is real, then this film is probably for you. If you want to watch a film that scares you and makes you think then you would be better off watching "irreversible" or "Oldboy" Gestics skill and commitment deserved a better vehicle than this.

Sincerely, no word in this language could help me to classify this piece of crap. I wonder why so many people in cinema industry tend to believe that showing a person suffering for two hours could be called "a story" and could end being a "script for a film"...Maybe we can discuss this question when we are talking about "The Texas chainsaw massacre" or even "Hostel"...but this is not the case. The director is pretty good. The scenes are strong. The acting is absolutely fantastic. The photography and sound are excellent. But...the story is absolutely inextistent. Just 90 minutes of boring action, repeated torments, repeated sadism...just so boring, so ... Make yourself a favor, don't loose your time watching a crazy man tormenting a young prostitute. It is useless.
