A doctor with extreme and depraved needs kidnaps a couple and forces them to compete in a game of torment that slowly erodes their hopes of survival.

'the spectacle of sadism' that so bothers the BBFC seems to be, at least in part, a cinematic metaphor for the twists and turns of a couple's journey from bodily lust to enduring love.

Grotesque has a winningly old-school feel that harks back to the good old Guinea Pig days, with which the film has more in common than western torture porn

Rated: 5/5

Kinda lame, unoriginal content, not disturbing, almost comical in morbid way of course. Had a chance to go somewhere and add something, nope right back to the start. Guy couldn't even keep his word to add an ounce of substance. Failed in every way possible.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

"Grotesque" is right, with the abundant shock value with not much of a build up, don't expect much from this one.

I saw this movie on a "Most Disturbing Movies of All Time" list. That distinction is well deserved. Unfortunately it's also rather pointless.
