Now I know what you're thinking. It's a feature-length non-pornographic film, how bad can it be? Well, pretty damn bad (as in good). Granted, while I'm sure most of you jaded folks won't exactly be falling out of your chairs, there really are some graphic and creative GIMP scenes in this, so it's well worth a look. I mean, this thing doesn't just cross the line. It pole vaults over. It really only stops short at penetration shots.

Plot

A group of young women are lured to a supposedly haunted hospital under the guise of going ghost hunting. But there's a tiny problem: the caretaker of the place, along with the two group guides, are all sexually perverted in the most extreme sense of the phrase. Their actual plan is to make an underground snuff film by methodically stripping, raping, and brutally killing nearly every flippin female on the cast list. I'm pretty sure only one gets to keep her clothes on.

Scene breakdown

*Obviously massive SPOILERS ahead. If you're willing to take my word and would rather be surprised as you watch, ignore this next segment. (I'm actually not including every little scene, just the big stuff)

- One of the blondes is chased out of a shower, knocked out, and awakens tied naked to a chair. One guy rapes her, after which the other guy pulls some of her teeth out to ensure she doesn't bite as he then forces her into a blow job before killing her. One of the other women is forced to watch. Screen below:

- That other woman (who wears a "purity" ring) is taken from behind by one guy while the other eventually forces her into oral at the same time. Then they flip her over and cut off a nipple before killing her.

- The other blonde is drugged and laid out on a table. A guy toys with her a little, cuts her shirt and bra off, gropes her breasts and rubs his face in them, and then slices one a little. Then he pulls her pants and underwear off and starts to rape her. She starts to pass out, he wakes her up with a drug, and she jolts and tries to fight, but they hold her down and continue the rape. Then the other guy goes all Da Vinci on her. He slices her leg and uses the blood to paint red trees on a canvas. He then jams the brush in her crotch and uses it to paint clouds (from her lubricant?), and then puts the brush back in her crotch and brings it out to paint a yellow sun on the picture (from her urine?), and he finishes by painting "fecal mountains", though it doesn't show him shove the brush up her ass. Then he also rapes her. Screen below:

- The brother of that last victim and his hot wife come driving to the hospital after she managed to get a distressed phone call to him. Bad move, buddy. They are quickly captured and he's forced to watch as they strip the wife naked (shown from an obstructed view unfortunately) and bend her over a table as all three guys take turns raping her. Then they throw her to the ground and brutally kill her and him. Screen below:

Acting

It's as good as you can expect from a low-budget indie film. Most of the main-character actors do a fine job. In the rape scenes you might scoff a little that the thrusting sometimes isn't super authentic looking, but it didn't detract much for me.

Problems

One of the women is pretty heavy, and she is not spared the treatment in any way (her scenes are not included above). That took a little away for me since I don't really enjoy seeing an overweight woman nude, even if it is a GIMP scene. And she has quite a few of them (mostly hanging arms over head), which made it worse since there are far more attractive women who didn't get that kind of screen time.

One very minor issue is it's not quite as exploitive as it could have been. In some of the rape scenes the women are bent over tables, so being face down you don't get as good of a view, though eventually they do get flipped.

Another thing (at least for me) is the biggest reason that I'm drawn to actual films over porn is I prefer context and story around the scenes. This movie certainly has some build up, but it's not as much as you'd normally get from a feature-length film, because, frankly, the GIMP scenes take up so much of the running time that there isn't room for much else.

Conclusion

I see no reason not to give it an A as far as exploitation movies go. You just don't see stuff like this anymore, either in mainstream or independent film.

NOTE: The screenshots don't really do the movie justice, but I purposely didn't flood this with caps because I feel like a review should whet your appetite, not spoil your dinner. Also since the movie isn't widely available yet, the makers might appreciate fewer images.
