For an effort 'crowd funded', this really has to deserve top marks: both direction and acting, latter especially with main new star, Maura Murphy (as kidnapped Danielle), portrayed as a 'suffer* girl, to transcend into a more perfect in God's creation being' by a religious obsessive nut job! (Chris Scheicher as 'Virgil': See quotes sidebar wherein he espouses director / writer (auteur? He edited and produced it, too) Samuel M. JOHNSON's (NOT movie star Jackson!!) excuses cum reasons of its dichotomy all out as.) *i.e presumably / possibly only as edicted / inspired by as St. Paul assessed to reach religious joy - yet which can only / has to be, come by / through - you guessed it - suffering …! Which is uplifting, surely?By which, without wanting to give away too much of the development of this what at first would seem another of those tawdry women in peril stalked and torture porn offerings, and despite its (helpful?!) salacious come on subtitle: 'Whipped, chained and tortured by a psychopath' (! so, not really a 'comedy'!), do stick with it for, for you anti torture porn, pro feminists, may be surprised at the end (á la - plot spoiler alert here=read no further: 'Spit on your grave'*, 'Hostel 2 / sequel', 'Storm Warning', 'Return to Sender' etc. male oppressor come-uppance revenge genre …) And which is particularly so to possibly the true underlying critique intended by this 'the people' (=crowd funded) effort, through the initial introduced thoroughly reprehensible - (inferred) Father (?) - figure (although credited only as 'bastard' - David Alan Graf) - despatched, um 'messily' in a sorta serves him right (well, 'bastard' like, I guess!) hoisted by own petard porn surfing, ah, 'activity'! Which, if not that is the (black humour) - 'comedy'?, then is it also a subtle turnaround on all us audience 'voyeurs', too, having been so enticed to view this? (That salacious 'Whipped, chained and tortured …." COME on, y'know, huh … ?) Hmm Plus, ponder that with also a suitably menacing drab, drone-like atmospheric soundtracking throughout from '2Sheep Audio' (as credited in the print), too, this is surely a cult curio in the making. * Although actually, as rather like another in the revenge genre, W. Craven's 'Last House on the Left' was supposedly (notoriously!), incongruously inspired by Bergmann's 'Virgin Spring', it amused me that this has a similar inspirational credit "Inspired by Dante's inferno": as such, miss at your own, er, purgatory!

The saying goes that love means never having to say you are sorry... This is especially true when you are being held in a religious madman's basement with your neck chained to a wooden post.There is not much nice to be said about this. While some of the props are a bit amusing and there is a general attempt to be funny (which helps defuse how truly awful a movie this is) there is no reason to watch this or recommend it to anyone. I feel worse off for having seen it.Everything you need to know you will find out in the first five minutes. Terrible sound recording, terrible sets and a woman who is apparently supposed to be a teenage girl whose father (or stepfather, maybe) is a molester... but she is obviously much, much older and it seems like the man should be her boss.

OK.. Only 2 people in house (the girl and the guy) but at 27:17 - 27:19 there is another pair of feet in the frames where he is putting a bag over her head.. The acting is terrible, the head in the fridge, how original is that? She just meets the guy and is eating dinner and staying over at his place. Get real we do have a brain in our heads. This is just one of the worst movies I have viewed in a long time. Acting, what acting, did they have a script or make things up as they went along. Then the black and white bathroom scene, was this a security cam he had set up or ? I think this film was shot with a 8mm camcorder and a very low budget. Don't waste your time.
