Disturbing and utterly cringeworthy ... but for some reason, I actually enjoyed it. Now, I wouldn't consider myself to be a fan of the horror genre, but I occasionally like a character study film such as this. Yes, the torture was gruesome and I got the willies while watching the film, but this film could evoke an interesting philosophical debate about the motivation of the characters and the events that took place. Yes, this was a sick and twisted movie, but was fascinating in the same vein as Saw. I must state that this was not a Quentin Tarantino movie as he only produced it. If you didn't know it when you went in, it became glaringly obvious because this movie was devoid of QT's visuals and fantastic scripts. This ended up being a very simple movie where nothing surprising really happened and was made to knot up stomachs. But, the aforementioned topics of discussion that this movie (and Saw as well) creates give this a slight bump up.
