I love horror. And I love the most downright awful, vile and despicable horror I can get my hands on. But it still has to feel like a movie. It still has to feel like there is a point. Just showing us clip after clip of the most horrific things that can happen to a person isn't enough. The movie did have a chance to justify everything at the end, but it let that slip too.
To get into some spoilers, the movie shows us some awful torture scenes, then is shows us a little bit of an explanation about why the guy doing these things is so messed up. Then at the end the movie sets itself up perfectly with a character from earlier coming back with an opportunity to take revenge on behalf of herself and every other victim we have seen in the movie. The character moves forward with a dangerous smirk on her face. And then the credits roll. Sigh.
Of all the things we have had to sit through and watch happen to innocent people, we couldn't get to see even a minute of revenge taken on the perpetrator? It makes no sense. That was very disappointing.
The movie is pretty messed up and if that's all you care about then you might just have a good time. If you're like me though and need more structure and purpose then you will probably struggle with it. 4/10.
