There seems to be a proliferation of BDSM themed documentaries and to be honest I will watch them all.
I Cut Your Flesh starts off with a heavy metal song and has a logo that wouldn't be out of place on a gig poster. The documentary is shot in HD and looks good. Subject wise it features the blood play and cutting style of BDSM. As you would expect there are many graphic shots of knife play including cutting with a scalpel, needles being inserted and piercing (nipple and back). I think this film would struggle to pass at 18 in the UK if it were to be submitted to the BBFC. BDSM films have always been a bit of a bete noire for them with films like The Story Of O Part II and A Caning For Miss Grainger being banned back in the day.
It's a fairly interesting documentary, but it feels more like something you would see on YouTube, if they would allow it. I'm not doubting the talent of the director who has directed many BDSM themed horror films and the passion and willingness of people like Sox to appear on film is admirable. The documentary has limited appeal people in the scene will probably be familiar with most of it and people who are viewing it as an educational piece will probably turn it off quickly. I found it a bit meh.
