Disappointingly tame and nonsensical film
13 September 2021
Sadly this film left me a little disappointed. It was quite tame with regards to violence and the supposed quotes stating it was nasty were far from the truth imo.

Not much is seen at all.

One woman is supoosedly (you don't see amything) stabbed in the privates with a knife and theres zero blood!? And she's beaten in the face (out of shot again) with a baton and when next see her face it has slightly purple blemishes on her face and no blood! Poor.

The lead actress is gorgeous so that helps a lot and she can act until directed to walk like filled her pants after spending 9 months in the sea!? Wah!?

Which is never explained. (A remnant of what the movie was going to be.....called The Deep).

The young director (24 at the time I believe) appeared very restrained with what he showed for a supposed uncut and vicious revenge film ......I guess the final scene although badly choreographed throughout did have one gory bit and partly made up for it .

Shame wasn't more though, felt restrained, especially the torture of the pedophile.

The lack of dialogue throughout was a good move. Less an artistic statement than a careful way to not show the low level of acting. (Even if they say otherwise)

Seems they had no one doing any make up FX throughout. Later in the film they must have had a whip around and bought some fake blood and chicken fillets so that was used more and helped a little.

Then it gets surreal.

Dolls heads on sticks. Random girls finding junk on beach finds lead actress and immediately hits her with a branch for some unknown reason? Ha ha. I think to see if alive. Flesh eating. Sleeping underwater.

Stock music is not used well and distracts at times. Not as emotional as they believed it was. Especially the classical parts.

Lot of long drawn out padded scenes, strange costumes.

Some artistically shot scenes seem out of place.

For a first real film I guess its forgivable.

Watch if nothing else on.

Did I mention the lead actress was gorgeous? Ha ha.
