With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at people who like their stories with a little danger and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. Keeps you leaning forward. Same wavelength as Dressed to Kill.
- The mood
- Scary, gritty.
- The pace
- Tense from early on, at 1 hr 22 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you want something to relax to.
A young virgin is captured by an abnormal couple. The girl is kept locked in a wooden box, and subjected to sexual torture and abuse. Loosely inspired by the real-life case of Colleen Stan.
