I like stylish movies as much as I like disturbing movies so this movie was right up my alley. The other reviewer summarized the plot pretty well and I'll just add a few comments. The first is that film can be divided into two parts. The first part concerns the relationship between the two girls as well as Jiney's fall into depression. I felt this was the strongest portion of the movie. The second part of the film, which begins when Jiney receives the snuff video at her door, is much less interesting and bears a strong resemblance to Saw and its ilk.
Perhaps this shift in tone was necessary to fill seats in the theatre but it was ill-advised from an aesthetic point of view. The two actresses, who are sisters in real life, are very talented and deserve better than to be subjected to simulated torture for torture's sake. Still, it was one of the better movies I saw this year and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in exploring the dark side of human nature.
