Will it be 'okay' to see this film without understanding the dialogs?:rolleyes:

Subscene probably has some. Shame on you though.

Why? :D :D I haven't seen it yet, As there are some mixed reviews so I can now wait for its dvd release with Eng sub.

Well.. As long as you buy a proper release, I don't mind you using a pirated one to begin with. :D

NOT WORTH WATCHING! I watched it with my boyfriend. I must say watching anna get the shit beaten out of her but some piece of shit was enough to make me want to puke. Its very hard for me to watch torture films because i think there worthless movies.























*****Spoiler******

The end when she hears lucies voice saying not scared now and stuff i got goosebumps when she looked up her eyes swollen shut and what not. Just broke my heart. What got me the most was when they hooked her up the that metal thing and stripped her naked and ripped her skin off. I have to say this movie sucked!! Another pointless stupid movie about someone being tortured. Two thumbs down.

:edit:

****spoiler****

One thing i forgot to add though for those of you who seen what did you think of the ending? I though it was macabre but thats just me..

Amazing movie. I'm still thinking about it 3 days after watching it.
Absolutely brutal, horrifying, deplorable, painful, unrelenting....

SPOILERS (highlight)!!!!!
I thought at first the movie was going to be pretty standard with the overblown "Castle Freak" part. At that point, I was pretty sure the movie was just all hype and nothing else. Don't get me wrong, that part was creepy and when you imagine that that girl had been there for 15+ years is almost unbelievable, but compared to all the horror movies I have seen in my life, it still didn't affect me that much.

How could I have known that this was only the set-up to lure you into the world, then *ahem* beat you into submission in the last 30 minutes of the movie. The whole scene with the "black surgeon" was one of the most shocking scenes I have ever seen. Sure, it's not like we haven't seen a skinless person before in movies like Hellraiser 2, but that is fantastical! This....this was meant to be real. Not a demon or a zombie...a real person just barely hanging onto life. Absolutely insane.

The best part? The movie didn't just come off as (I hate the term, but I'll use it anyway) "torture porn". It had so much going on, so many subtleties....

I don't know if I'll be able to watch it again anytime soon...it's that good.


The movie is not for everyone, but to say it "sucked" blows my mind. The fact that it affected some of you so much should give a clear example that it *didn't* suck. My example is always Requiem for a Dream....there is so much BAD STUFF going on in that movie, I felt dirty after watching it. I had to call my mom! But it is unquestionably superb film-making. I believe this movie is also superb. To write it off as "more torture porn" is truly sad, but that is my opinion only.

-D

I wanna watch it but I can't bring myself to watch it. Maybe if enough people think it's a good idea for me to watch it, I will tape it on webcam so you can all at least get a laugh.

I want to so bad, but for a long time now I can;t stand feeling uncomfortable. Movies that U watched when I was little like The Shining and TCM, I just sit there covering my eyes and can barely take it, until I end up turning it off cause it's too much. I love horror movies, and I'm so sad that I can barely watch them anymore.

Derek suggested I watch light horror movies and work my way up to scarier, more uncomfortable stuff so he's got me watching Supernatural and stuff. Doesn't cut it really. I literally threw up at the theatre for the last 2 Saw movies. I think I'll use Martyrs as a way to get over it.

Awe i didnt know it was like that for you. Then dont watch it. I felt so uncomfortable and dirty and watching this movie. I was like wtf why did i just watch this filth? I can typically handle any movie i dont like torture ones but i dont puke or anything during them. I would definatly not watch this movie until your mentally and physically prepared...its pretty icky.

and so I have heard, but I'm trying to figure out what happened to change me. Like I went from watching Suspiria and Cannibal Halocaust one day to not being able to handle my old favourites the nest. I'm dead set on watching it though, hopefully the feeling is no worse than the "turn off" feeling I got when watching Haute Tension.
