torture porn in German
19 January 2017
Made way after the torture porn hype to be honest this German flick that has the problem most of German flicks has. Almost all over the world no-one understands German so when do you German producers or directors understand that you need to include English subs.

I attend German conventions to discover new flicks and come across famous US thespians who are sitting there. My problem is always that most flicks do come out in German. But enough about that. I saw trailers about this flick and the only reason I wanted to see this was the fact that the effects looked great.

Divide this flick in two parts, the first part, the first 40 minutes it's all about blah blah. Once after 40 minutes the horror comes in. It's torture porn indeed and I must say that the effects were well done. The tongue full of nails and the sewing of two hands together looked stunning. On part of the acting it's a bit mediocre. The blond one goes a bit over the top and the guy walking around in latex doesn't add a thing on walking around like that. There's no moment that it all looked scary like flicks concerning house invasion.

So you guess it's all boring. Without the subs a lot of geeks will turn it off especially that the first part doesn't offer a thing. But I must say, it didn't had a cheap overlook on use of the camera. Does it deliver the gorehounds, not one bit. Will it stick in your mind forever like the Saw franchise. Guess not only the pierced tongue maybe.

I also have one question. The gun scene I didn't get. The gun goes off off-camera but brains are smashed against the wall, but i didn't here any shot. Anyone?
