Jesus Mary and Joseph the first ten minutes are the real deal nightmare.
My experience watching this film:
1. DVD menu has a guy bending a woman over a bicycle, lifting her skirt, and aggressively slapping her ass. This doesn't appear to be played for laughs. In fact, neither are expressing any emotion at all. The camera is pulled way back and there's no music, just the hard, painful-sounding smacks echoing off the bricks on the dirty, empty alleyway.
Well, THAT'S a cringe-worthy image to get us ready for the movie!
2. The very first scene is the spank-woman engaging in one of the least erotic, most uncomfortable sex scenes in film history.
Seriously. She and the man, also never once making facial expressions and speaking in weird, overwritten dialogue that would make George Lucas proud, prepare for sex while fully clothed in expensive evening wear. She grabs his crotch through his clothes, making him wince and audibly grunt in pain while she makes aggressive eye contact, then he gives her a thimble (what?) and she waxes poetic about how this is a symbol for something.
Need I remind you we have no idea who these people are or what the context is. Is this supposed to be funny? Scary? Dramatic? All I feel is very very weird and disquieted.
3. Sudden scene transition to the same woman in the country side talking to a live pig, smiling and talking sweetly to it about how they are about to kill and eat him.
Holy sh*t who DOES that?? This is psychopath behavior right here.
This scene cuts to black, the pig screams, and then we see three men holding the same pig we just saw shuddering in death throws as the woman, still smiling, wipes her blood-stained arm across her forehead and sighs, looking just off camera, sun shining like this is the sweetest image in the world.
Vomit rose in my throat.
We then watch this pig get strung up and dissected in real time. She continues to walk in and out of scene, taking the organs from the pig we just saw alive a few seconds ago and she talks in this bizarre flowery talk, and she NEVER. STOPS. SMILING.
Sex didn't make her smile, getting spanked on a bicycle didn't make her smile, but talking to an animal directly in the eyes about how she will kill it and getting herself soaked in it's blood and holding its organs? Biggest dang smile on earth.
This woman continues to haunt me. She's scarier than Jigsaw and Jason and all that cheap garbage. That was REAL. She was HAPPY. She really did all of that.
Then it's head was slowly peeled off from it's body and I threw up all over the table.
