Red Room 2 – 2000 – The Sequel

If you liked the first Red Room, chances are great that you’ll like Red Room 2 also. On the other hand, if you thought the first one was lame, you’ll probably feel the same about the sequel. There’s really not so much you can do with the premises. It’s more or less the same thing all over again. There are four people collected in a room to play a game. In the first, we had...

Red Room -1999 – Long time no see

Red Room has been on my bucket list to see for many years now. I had the chance to buy it several years ago but I thought it was too expensive and since then it seems to have become very OOP. I have seared for it everywhere but haven’t found it for a reasonable price. But then, out of nowhere, A friend of mine actually had it and was willing to lend it to me....

Fairy in a Cage – 1977 – Bondage and Torture

The nature of Fairy in a Cage kinda makes it hard to add any pictures from the movie. It’s not really violent and bloody or gory but a lot of stills do have exposed breasts in them. That in itself might not be a huge problem but when I post this to social media it might get taken down for showing nipples. That’s the reality we live in. It’s kinda stupid but on the other...

American Guinea Pig: Bloodshock – 2015

Bloodshock is another part of the film series American Guinea Pig. It’s hard to not draw parallels to the Japanese film series titles just Guinea Pig and I think that the writer Stephen Biro and Director Marcus Koch is very aware of these movies and have got quite a lot of inspiration from them. In the first one – Bouquet of Guts and Gore it was pretty obvious to me that the inspiration was the...

American Guinea Pig: Bouquet of Guts and Gore – 2014

Do you remember back in the day when Charlie Sheen reported one of the original Guinea Pig movies to the authorities, thinking it was a real snuff movie? If I’m not mistaken, that was the second of the Asian films – Flower of Flesh and Blood. Not the most realistic in the series in my opinion but certainly one of the bloodiest! When watching the first American Guinea Pig movie I can help but wonder...

Yolanda – mijn verhaal

I would be lying if I said that this wasn’t a tough book to get through. It’s not only that the theme is totally horrifying, dealing with child abuse and torture. There are graphic descriptions of incest and even murder of infants. That isn’t the worst part. The worst part is the Yolanda is a real person and that this is her story of what happened to her. I’ve read my fair share of extreme...

The Card Counter – 2021 – Dark DARK story about torture

The Card Counter is one of those movies that doesn’t reveal its true nature by the title alone. I had not done my research and figured this was about some dude playing cards at casinos and getting caught counting cards. I know that counting cards aren’t exactly against the rules but if you’re too good at it you still will get escorted out and put on the casino’s black list. Or at least that’s what...

Shotgun – 1989 – A truly gruesome flick

Ok, let’s not kid ourselves. This is a horrible movie. The acting is so bad you could use this as a discouragement for how to not make a movie. The story itself is very shallow and I had no time figuring out what was supposed to be the end twist of it all. Maybe that’s not so far-fetched since many of these low-budget flicks from the eighties are less than good and more than nostalgic...

7 Days – 2010

Dr. Bruno Hamel and his wife see their 8-year old daughter walking off on her own. That’s the last they see of her, at least while she’s still alive. She’s found a couple of days later raped and murdered! Her parents lose themselves with grief and start to blame each other for the terrible crime. They should have looked after her and they should have done this or that. A few days go by and...

Incident in a Ghostland – 2018 – This one messes with you!

Incident in a Ghostland messes with you! I thought I had this flick figured out multiple times during my session with it. Each time, up until the very end, I was wrong though. I had to think over and accept the fact that I’m not as smart as I thought I was. First off, I thought this would be a film about ghosts in a conventional sense. It isn’t! I don’t think that is a...

Territories – 2010 – The ultimate terror flick?

To be honest, it was the cover of this DVD that made me initially buy it. There’s something about that raw image that appeals to me. There’s almost a voyeuristic feel to it. Like that you are the spectator of the event but not really participating in it. That is true with most movies of course but I feel this could almost be a genuine story and that you can almost be there. That’s what...

Girl in the Box 1

Girl in the Box – 2016 – Based on a True Story

Girl in the Box is based on a true story. It’s always uncertain how many facts and how much fiction there are in films like this but in hindsight, it seems pretty legit if you ask me. I think that the torture bits are a little toned down though. Maybe not compared to the reality behind the movie but compared to other movie violence. Most of it is kept off-screen and you’ll have to imagine...
