Julia
12 April 2015 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

This film has been called a revenge fantasy. A lonely young woman meets a guy on a date, but he drugs her, she is gang-raped, and dumped by the river. She doesn't report the rape but meets a mysterious woman who refers her to what has been called a therapist, a man whose therapy includes some rather gory stuff.

Needless to say this is also very nasty, all the more so because our damsel is a mouse-like creature who clearly needs a little kindness rather than to be thrown into some bizarre plot hatched by a psychopath on the pretext of helping people like her. Instead, she is dragged down to below the level of even her violators.

At the end of the day this film isn't simply deeply unpleasant, it is more than a little confusing. Don't waste your time on it.
