A film that should never have been made. Don't be fooled. Because a film has a difficult subject matter does not immediately make the film important or even worthy of watching. The film says nothing new about the difficult subject matter. Worse, it uses the subject as an excuse. It does not show the pain involved to aid the audience's understanding (no one would need any help to understand the victims are in extreme pain in this situation); instead, it portrays the acts in order to exploit the body of the young actress playing the part. This is not only a movie about exploitation, it is exploitation itself, and a of very disgusting variety. The only trick here is how director Roth tries to hide it.
