Grotesque (2009)

My rating - 6.5/10

A derranged and depraved doctor kidnaps a young couple and tortures them until they lose the will to live.

As much as I hate the term, if you looked up "torture porn" then this would likely be the movie that most accurately describes it. There's very little else to this nasty piece of work except lots of brutality. Sexual assault, forced urination, fingers cut off with a chainsaw, eyes poked out, intestines pulled out, decapitation, nipples cut off with scissors and lots more.

It's definitely not for everyone and if you're even the slightest bit squemish then give it a wide birth. But it's actually very well made, the acting is good, the effects are well done and the movie will often make you feel very uncomfortable. If you want to see what Hostel and Saw probably should have been like then you need to check out this depraved little gem from Japan. It's hard to find now though and all home media releases are OOP and very expensive.
