He goes back to the whorehouse, he slaps down the twenty, and tells the madam he needs to get off, but he ain't going to screw no goddamn chicken this time. She says it still ain't much, but she can help. She tells him to go to the room at the top of the stairs.

Trivia
Bruises are visible on both Paige and Mari's legs during the scenes in the hotel room. According to interviews, the bruises were a result of filming the scenes in the forest, which were filmed before the motel room scene. The makeup crew tried to cover up the bruises, but since the actors did their own stunts, the marks were too severe to be covered up by any makeup. See more »Goofs
Although red wine is not *supposed* to be kept in the refrigerator, many people do prefer their red wine cold and will store it there. See more »Quotes

I'll keep this short and sweet. This was gruesome and twistedly faithful to the original in spirit and effect. I totally expected to be the one tortured when watching, well I should have left my preconceived notions at the door. The acting was sharp, the plot devices made just enough sense that it never broke my disbelief and I admittedly had to briefly look away from some scenes.
The setup was stellar and the ending did not disappoint. I give it a 7 but if it was possible I would have given it a 7.5.
Good for the genre and great by comparison of other remakes.
I would definitely suggest it to anyone that enjoys the genre.
