videorama-759-859391 Grotesque is a challenge of the visual senses, horror for the visually challenged, where at one point at to stop, then resumed viewing it later. The plot is simple, yet from the doctor's crazed point of view, the premise is rather intriguing. A young innocent couple who are going steady, I guess, after dining out, are kidnapped by this brilliant maniacal surgeon, who has them tied up in his basement, what have you and tortures the living f..k out of them. His reasons are, for his own sick entertainment, to see how much they can endure or hold out, before they give up, and accept the inescapable fate of death. Also he wants to test their love against each other. I'm not gonna tell you what he does to em', but it's a lot to take. I'll leave that to the imagination of us sick ones to conjurer thoughts and images. For some of you, you'll be screaming for a re watch of Audition or even Hostel, which would come as a relief, as it would a comedy, after trying to get through this. This is a movie, you don't undermine for it's shocking violence, where each sick torturous act out shocks the last (some torturous methods, mirroring the ones in Daddy's Little Girl), and don't think for a second, cause of it's 73 minute running time, that it lessens the amount of horror you expect to see. You don't get away that easy. Actually in it's early part, I was actually disappointed as awaiting the real moments of shocking violence, where I guess my expectations were fading, or I was dubious, but with the buzz of that chainsaw sounding, I was quickly corrected. It's a film, really for the toughest of the senses. I'm not kidding. I'm never been so unnerved or discomforted by a film such as this, truly my heart was beating a lot through this intense view. This unsettling view isn't helped, when the actors don't overact. They put just the right amount of acting into their believable characters. One shocking tease to the film, involves a scene which at first, you don't think is a dream, which for one victim counts as a double whammy of a downer. This whole merciless film has nasty intentions, a lot of people will find it repellent, where the stronger ones will see the view through. The burial scene of our ill fated lovers at the end was memorably bizarre, it's actually the strongest image of the film, I can't get out of my head. But with all I've said, what it all boils down to is a movie almost wholly based on torture, saved for two scenes. This doesn't constitute for good horror, but for it's qualities to shock, unnerve and intensify, I must praise this nasty piece of horror, for what is, despite it's degrading or immoral themes, upon two human beings. God forbid, this one spawns a sequel, I for one, don't think I could stomach it.

rabitbait most disturbing film and banned by the BBFC, because in their wisdom this will do harm to viewers? give me a break and thank god for the internet. the only thing banning this did in the uk is make more people interested in it.to start the film may seem a bit short on the plot and has been criticised for it. this may seem true at first but actions speak louder than words and boy does the action hurt.we start with a young couple who are clubbed into unconsciousness and then wake up in a dungeon strapped to surgical boards and gagged. they are then tortured asking how far they will go for each other. that's pretty much it for set up and plot. but if you stick with it there is development and thought behind what is going on and it is revealed slowly. now don't get me wrong what happen to the couple is nasty and cruel but watching it from start to finish I felt the film did what it did well. the ending is slightly over the top but reveals a key thing about the torturer and gives more depth to the film.is it the best thing since slide bread? no, but the effects are done well, the Cinematography is executed well and the acting is top notch. most disturbing film? no, just another horror film that has a bit more going on. if you want gore try something else this film is not that bad if you want disturbing try watching Lars von Trier Breaking the waves.

billcr12 A young couple are shown on their first date at a restaurant. They smile and exchange pleasantries, both are quite shy and when they walk together on the side walk, they are assaulted and abducted by a stranger. The couple find themselves securely restrained in a basement. A man begins the fun by sticking a screwdriver into the male victims stomach, then he cuts his tongue and rapes the girl. He cuts off her nipples and one arm. After further cutting of various body parts, he moves the suffering couple to what looks like a hospital room and cares to their wounds with medical like expertise. After some much needed recuperation, it's back to the dungeon for more mutilation. He cuts out the mans intestines and strings them to hook and thus begins a contest of endurance and loyalty to his date. If I haven't discouraged your curiosity yet, well watch the film to find out how it ends.
