Finale

The movie was a big letdown. I gave it 3 stars only because of the female actors. They were excellent compared to the subpar writing. Film had so much potential but fell short. I will look for these ladies in future films. They were awesome.

If you think the final scene in Tarantino's latest is too-much, wait until you see what happens here, when a maniac abducts two gas station attendants and display them as merchandise for a live streaming horror show. Having to work on a historic day when Denmark enters the World Cup's finals, the ladies try their best to avoid boredom. They end up being the prey of such a bizarre game where the viewers decide their destiny- including torching them, cutting their legs off, and piercing their nipples. An extremely gore, efficient, gruesome and smart take on the abduction genre, Søren Juul Petersen's directorial debut is an impressive and bold display of human cruelty.

This opens with a pastiche of the first few moments of 1931's Frankenstein, when one of the cast steps on stage to address the audience and warn them of the horrors to come.

It takes a while to get going, despite the mix of events happening in real time and flashback. Two gas station attendants working the night shift are terrorised and subjected to various brutal horrors, and their isolation is well realised by Director Søren Juul Petersen.

What follows is an entertaining ride, with a fair bit of gore thrown in. The nature of the horror would be to drift into spoiler territory. The situation is not a new one, and might have been conveyed more stylishly than here, but I enjoyed this ride, especially as I didn't know which way events would turn. My score is 7 out of 10.

From someone who has literally seen thousands and thousands of horror movies this is a little hidden gem. It does start out a little slow, but once the action and gore kick in it's hard to take your eyes off of it. And the gore is done really well which should a delight any horror fan. Some of it was even too gruesome for me to look at sometimes, that's how intense it was. Then right when you think you know what's going to happen next, it surprises you and takes a totally different turn.

So if you are in the mood for something a little different and love horror you should really like this one!

7/10 - A hidden gem.

Oh man! Just finished this one a facebook group recommended. I was super skeptical because of the rating on here, but it deserves a higher rating for sure. I was on the edge of my seat. Not the grossest or scariest, and I probably won't watch it again. But it was thrilling for a one time watch. I've seen all torture porn horror, but I'm not a fan of it, so as soon as I saw it go in that direction I was like nooooo 😆 I could not look away the whole time, I was captivated. Ooh and I like the nod to Frankenstein at the beginning. Gross flick. The main actress is really what made it good. I would give it a solid 6/10.
