A
sleazy, cocky and obnoxious director
named Levi (Rob Benedict) is auditioning
many actresses for his upcoming horror
flick but treats them like dirt except
for one named Sonja (Chantelle Barry)
whom he thinks is good enough to jump in
the sack in which she can't act her way
out of a wet paper bag.
He decides to take her home and tries to
fool her that he wants to do a screen
test with her and while she tells him
about his love life telling him that she
has a lover and is bisexual, her
girlfriend Cindy (Elisangela) comes up
from behind him and knocks him
unconcious.
Next he is pinned on the ground and can't
seem to escape as the two of them mame
and torture him half to death by cutting
him and using objects on him too which is
just as painful. Plus Sonja shows him the
tapes he had on what he did to the other
actresses trying out for his film as he
rapes them and forces them to take of
their clothes in front of his camera in
which they give him a rough time doing.
Now, the tables seem to have turned on
him as both of these women do nastier
things to him than what he did to those
wannabe actresses and can't seem to get
himself out of the situation.

There's a nice
comedic beginning with Levi doing screen tests at an
audition room by acting obnoxious and
vulgar towards the wannabe actresses.
There's a good approach by Sonja acting flakey coming into the
room with Levi drooling over
her and trying to coach her to scream
with her acting hopeless which looked
quite cheesy but in average taste.
There's good moments with Levi videotaping her in his house and then she
uses his camera on him and then he is
about to lose his cool with a nice surprise attack by Cindy whacking him across the head behind him
with an object which looked intense.
There's a nice moment with Levi locked up with Cindy standing
in front of him and taunting him with a
chainsaw as he reacts well being
frightened and there's many good close up
shots on him with his painful expressions
as well as him crying in fear which
looked almost disturbing.
There's a good shot on both Cindy and Sonja jumping on his
bed and having fun with one another. Good shots on both of them acting
vulgar and aggressive towards him showing
good nasty expressions towards him and
what they plan to do with him.
There's a nice moment with Sonja getting demanding towards Levi while she
puts in a tape showing him what he's done
that involves someone doing a striptease and Sonja behind the camera getting aggressive and
dominating with her which seemed
believeably unpleasant.
There's many other torturous scene that
involves the three of them which almost
makes you cringe which looked powerfully
done. Especially a good camera shot
looking down on them when Sonja forces a
zucchini in his mouth which looked quite
painful.
A good shot on Levi laughing hysterically and convincing them
to let him be free. There's also a good close up shot on him being
gagged and trying to scream while there's
a good shot on Sonja clenching
her teeth and cutting off his finger and
acting evil with her laughing.
There's a good moment with Levi trying to get out of the house and
scrambling around to see what he can do
with a good striking shot on Sonja along
with a good shot on Levi falling into
his own swimming pool. There's a good
shot with both Sonja and Cindy on each ends of the pool holding a
weapon and demanding him to get out of
the pool along with a nice blocking shot
on Sonja holding her weapon
above her head which happens to be a bat
and a good shot on him panicking and
asking her not to hit him with it.
There's nice close up shots on Levi's hands being nailed to a wall with a good
shot on him standing there and crying in
pain along with many other moments being
taunted by Sonja and Cindy.
There's not a heck
of alot of scene's in this film but the
story is very well done and totally
psychological. At first it starts off as
a dark comedy with the auditioning in
which I thought to myself "Oh boy
this is going to be one of those bad
movies" But then the shocking
moments start with the two women who
torture this director.
It really makes you think what can happen
if you take advantage of someone and
treating them like shit as it will come
back to you but in a worst way that can
cause you your life almost. I mean the
tortures used in this film looked quite
graphic which is a good pointer so it
makes the picture very well done and hard
to watch alot of the times.
It almost was like a moment where you're
trapped and there's no way you can escape
like you see in other psychological
horror flicks such as Saw but this film works on it's own at the
same time.
There's good spots with one of the women
playing him a videotape of his so called
screen tests on him raping his actresses
trying out to show him what a scumbag he
is which seemed almost too real which
psych's you out thinking of the faults
anyone has done in their lives fearing
someday karma will get you good. It's
almost like since you enjoy making horror
films and now you're a part of it in real
life type of story which is even a
scarier thought.
The bottom line is the film didn't have a
heck of alot of scene's but the writing
was great in it and a must for anyone who
like's those kinds of psychological
revenge horror films. It was one of the
most well done independent flicks that
doesn't need to have any expensive
locations but works extremely well.

The acting was not
too bad as lead actor Rob Benedict (Levi) really knew how to act like a nasty and
sleazy wannabe film director with a
spoiled attitude having what's coming to
him. He came across that way very
realistically. He also was great by
screaming in pain and acting weak while
being trapped and tortured half to daeth
showing his weaknesses being forced out
of him. He brought everything together in
a very good style. He does well in a scene by weakly choking out some words towards another actress and having a change of pace.
Chantelle Barry (Sonja) really knew how to
act menacing and evil with her part in
the film portraying a perfect
psychological horror character in the
film with great aggression when she spits
out obscenities and just getting very
forceful. She really knew how to come
across as someone who goes way too far
than what it's really worth.
Elisangela (Cindy) has a great accent in her role and
knew how to portray the mysterious
lesbian lover in the flick showing almost
a soft side to her and then she becomes
incredibly unpredictable and just as
warped as her lover in the film. She knew
how to use the deadly weapons on the film
quite well and could portray a good
female killer in other horror flicks.

Chase Munroe does
a striptease in front of a camcorder
taking off her top and flashing her
boobs.
There's many other boob shots with other
bit part actresses on a videotape as it
was almost like watching a porn flick.

Levi is tortured half to
death by many moments:
His wrist is cut open and later stapled
The two lovers carve tic tac toe on his
stomack with knives
His finger is graphically cut off then
chopped up in a blender then the results
being poured on him
His hands are hammered to a wall

We hear many touches of low
sounding keyboard music with the odd
light pounding sounds too. There's a
touch of light piano playing too. For
most of the film we hear alot of the
popular classical orchestra music which
we all know in alot of films with the
violin and bass string playing. Ralph
Rieckermann did most of the
composing for this film and seems to do
it very well.
