Vomit-inducing, for all the wrong reasons.Ĭharlie Sheen (as the urban legend goes) once turned over one of the Guinea Pig movies to the FBI, thinking it was a snuff film now similar films flood the multiplexes and gross millions of dollars. No, here we´re supposed to fully enjoy the gruesome bloodletting and mutilation, distance ourselves from the victims and applaud the effects, and patiently sit through the rest of the film the same way we´d sit through the filler material in softcore porn. Gone is the pretext from other ‘torture porn´ like Wolf Creek or the first Hostel, films of questionable content but clear intent that torture the audience along with the characters. Graphic male castration scene towards the end is the icing on the cake (I guess this is supposed to justify the overwhelming violence against women in the rest of the film?), only to be followed by a children´s game of footy with a female severed head.
