⭐ Featured Review

A celebration of extreme human suffering, cruelty, and evil.
by LLAAA48372009-03-19

"I don't really want to say very much about this film. In some ways, it's a film I wish I could forget. It's a film I will most likely never watch again. I will say that most of the scenes in the film, at least in the first two thirds, are sickening and horrible and full of extreme human cruelty, violence, and gore. However, the film turns into something far worse than that in the last act. The film depicts pure evil and the true deterioration of the human soul and body about as bluntly as it possibly could. I will admit this. I'm not exactly sure what it was that I watched...."

Morjana Alaoui, the actress who plays Anna, broke three bones in her foot during the shoot when she fell 3 meters (9.8 ft) off a soundstage. She had to stay in bed for six weeks, and production was temporarily halted for over a month.
