One of my all time favorite horror movies, and the most disturbing movie I've ever seen. The acting is fantastic, you care about the main characters, and it genuinely terrified me. You can call the second half pseudo-intellectual and pretentious, but I disagree. It's a movie about pain and what people will do to justify inflicting pain on others. The villains have a motivation. The characters might be pseudo-intellectual, but not the movie itself.
That's why the ending is so effective. She realizes that what they've been doing is bullshit and completely unjustified.

You can dress this up as much as you like and put a bow on it, but it's still just torture porn. 9 years 7 months ago
