Innovation is a rarity in most films because it’s usually trumped by laziness. It’s especially true with genre flicks that hew close to an established structure. Movies of the ‘kidnap and torture’ variety more often than not share common setups and resolutions and only differ slightly in the back story of the characters and the pain inflicted. Once in a while though, a movie comes along that gives a much needed twist to a genre convention. Victim is one such example, but unfortunately that fresh take comes at the expense of engaging characters, logic, predictability, and convincing acting. Opening credits inter-cut with a motel room assault captured on home video give way to a young man (Stephen Weigand) sitting alone at a bar. A few minutes of small talk later he’s walking alone to his car when he’s attacked by two men and disappeared into the night. He...

You know that you are in a strange territory when even the film poster for the film makes you uncomfortable. But directors Matt Eskandari and Michael Hultquist do not stop there. The trailer for Victim is here and if you are at work and have not been fired for showing the one-sheet on your screen then go a little farther and watch one young man feminized. Yes, that is right; this guy has his physical masculinity shaved off via a scalpel (yeesh)!

IFC Films continues to set the bar lower in the category of the depraved, with Martyrs and the Human Centipede a mild bloody pitstop. Now, Victim will offer viewers a chance to watch one man undergo involuntary sexual reconstructive surgery. This film debuts on IFC Films November 17 on video-on-demand (Film). A limited theatrical run is expected shortly thereafter. The chilling details unfold below.

The folks over at IFC have unveiled a new poster for the upcoming film 'Victim' and it's certainly turning some heads. We think it's very cool and edgy, though probably not appropriate for the office, though, what horror related product really is?

Check out the poster below and decide for yourselves. We're sure it won't be seen outside any movie theater or anything, but it's quite a unique marketing piece we thought we'd share it.

Victim is written by Mark Williams & Michael Pierce and directed by both Matt Eskandari & Michael Pierce. The film stars Stephen Weigan, Bob Bancroft, Brendan Kelly, Jennifer Howie and Stacy Haiduk.

Vague Synopsis:

What's the ultimate form of revenge? One Young man (Stephen Weigand) is about to find out. After being mysteriously kidnapped by a Doctor (Bob Bancroft) and his violent henchman, he's held captive in the converted cellar of an old mansion. For reasons unknown,...

Our friends over at IFC just released a poster for their upcoming horror/thriller flick Victim that's sure to raise some eyebrows. It's most likely not safe for work...unless you work at a strip club. Read on if you dare... The poster art has us rather curious about what's going on here. Just looking at it kinda makes my neck hurt and my nipples tender. (Stop me if I'm sharing too much.) Unfortunately the official description is light on specifics: What's the ultimate form of revenge? One Young man (Stephen Weigand) is about to find out. After being mysteriously kidnapped by a Doctor (Bob Bancroft) and his violent henchman, he's held captive in the converted cellar of an old mansion....
